Johnny Rotten - Sex Pistols - b. 1956 (Boomer)
Joey Ramone - The Ramones - b 1951 (Boomer)
Joe Strummer - The Clash - b 1952 (Boomer)
Paul Weller - The Jam - b 1958 (Boomer)

I guess if you want to take the advice of kids who were in grade school during the Punk era (1974 to 1984), that's fine.

But @RaceBannon and his Boomers were punk.

And the tweeners like @PurpleThrobber (b 1963) were the prime consumers of the genre and its successor New Wave.
