So With This Whole "punk" deal. Why *did* punk come to exist in the late 70's?

Damned good question...
I think there was a general malaise/discontent with society. Musically, the younger crowd was growing tired of the "dinosaurs" such as the Stones and Zeppelin and wanted a music that they could better related to... with their general anger and vigor, and their political insight as good number of them had, punk grew from that... a simple yet upbeat music, played fast - and it could be either friendly or angry. The lyrics ranged from shallow tripe to deep political statements.
That is an vastly oversimplified answer, but a good approximation as any.
I am SOOO up for a batch of hubcap collecting. You know how to find me... unless you lost all that... :P ]
