Summary: Punk music and fashion have been intertwined since the genre's inception. The distinctive style of dress associated with the punk subculture developed over a few decades, influenced by early Kinks, Iggy's Stooges, and thousands of psychedelic garage bands that formed from the mid-1960s to early 1970s. In the mid 1970s, bands like the New York Dolls, the Ramones and Television were playing CBGB's and Max's Kansas City, creating the scene which defined the punk look. Richard Hell's ripped t-shirts and spiky hair influenced Malcolm McLaren and Vivian Westwood's vision for the Sex Pistols confrontational image. Punk fashion has continued to evolve through the 1980s and 1990s, having spawned many sub-genres, including hardcore, goth, crusty-punk and the anti-fashion of Black Flag and the early 80s L.A. punk scene.
