A funny thing about punk rock: It's always been pastiche. The Stooges ground up hammerhead Detroit hard rock with Doors-ian self-laceration and free jazz's embrace of wild, twisty noise. The Ramones took '60s garage-rock riffs and Beach Boys melodies and played them as fast as possible. The Sex Pistols were as much a svengali creation as the Monkees or One Direction, but they drew from all the great riffers and snarlers of the previous two decades of rock history. In a sense, punk, as much as rap, is music criticism masquerading as music. Every band picks the things its members like, and it goes running with those things. Sometimes the band changes as it keeps going. Maybe it develops its own language, or it becomes a touchpoint in itself. But it always starts with something. And the Philly trio Dark Thoughts started with the Ramones.
