I remember being one of the youngest of a group of boy scouts, sitting in a tent, huddled around a battery-powered, mono-speaker tape deck, in 1978, listening to a bootleg copy of Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols. I’d never heard anything like it. No other music has surprised me in the same way since.

Nevermind the bollocks was good, but that whole project was just Malcom Mclaren building around a fashion movement of staged rage.
The Ramones first album was two years earlier, without any bullshit agenda or fashion cues.
