Avant-punk

Avant-punk is a punk music style characterized by "screeching experimentation", and a term by which critics used to describe the wave of American punk bands from the 1970s. It originated with the New York–based rock band the Velvet Underground, while antecedents included early Kinks and garage band one-shots collected on the Nuggets series of compilation albums. According to critic Robert Christgau, between 1966 and 1975, the only notable acts who could be categorized as "avant-punk" were the Velvets, The Fugs, MC5, Iggy Pop and the Stooges, the Modern Lovers, and the New York Dolls.
