  Punk rock
Punk rock (from 'punk', meaning rotten, worthless) was originally used to describe the primitive guitar based rock and roll of '60s bands such as The Seeds[?], and later Detroit bands The Stooges and MC5.
The roots of punk rock lie in the earlier form of "punk", as well as the UK pub rock scene, glam rock groups such as The New York Dolls and the early driving forces of the avant garde new wave music, such as Patti Smith.
Also of importance was a desire to return to the simplicity of early rock and roll and a rejection of what punk rockers saw as the pretension, commercialism and pomposity which had overtaken "arena rock" in the 1970s, spawning the grandiose forms of heavy metal and progressive rock.

One of its most enduring novelties, "(It's Gonna Be a) Punk Rock Christmas," is the linchpin of this collection of 18 snot-nosed holiday classics, some of which originated in the original punk rock explosion of the late 70s but others are of later vintage.

Jello Biafra lends his vocals to a couple tracks, and releasing it on Alternative Tentacles allows the casual listener to almost interpret this as another step in punk’s attempt at accomplishing its original goals.
