Just A Bunch of Unskilled Punks

An interesting point brought up in the guest lecture on punk was the general lack of musical skill among punk artists. Granted I'm sure there were some punk musicians would were very talented but generally it seemed like these groups just let anyone play. I think that is also why punk is so hard to define because it does not conform to any set musical pattern like other genres. With people of all skill sets playing, it would seem that the same song might sound different every time it was played. Maybe that is why punk is on the decline as of late, maybe people really just want to hear songs played the same way every time with no deviation. Auto-tune and computer beats always ruin things for everyone.
