you argues they are pioneering and they are no such thing


Its just my opinion. I was speaking more of genre defining mainstream success which is why i think these two bands are comparable. Look up the word pioneer and get back to me. Black Flag is punk garbage. Indie /=/ punk as much as you would like it to. I think Sonic Youth was more responsible for todays sound than the pixies in the 80s but thats just my opinion.

Sonic Youth was on SST. They were absolutely a punk band. They came out of the post-hardcore scene and also part of the No Wave scene, which gave us industrial heavyweights like Helmet and Big Black (also punk bands, BTW). No wave lives on in bands like the Swans. Also, heavily punk-influenced.

Indie rock, hate to break it to you, comes out of punk. they are practically inseperable. Even REM was originally classified as "post-punk" band and came out of the punk scene.
