Did The Ramones Invent Punk?

Who really invented punk rock? This documentary dives deep into the story of four kids from Queens who reshaped music history—Johnny, Joey, Dee Dee, and Tommy—otherwise known as the Ramones. From the gritty streets of 1970s New York to the infamous stage at CBGB’s, discover how their fast, raw, stripped-down sound sparked a global movement. Along the way, we explore the early influences of proto-punk legends like the MC5, The Stooges, Death, New York Dolls, and the Velvet Underground, as well as the explosion of punk in London, Los Angeles, and beyond. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just curious about the roots of punk, this video traces the rise, influence, and legacy of a genre that changed everything.
