The Ramones, a band from Queens, New York, revolutionized rock and roll by creating the punk rock genre in 1974. Rejecting the excess of progressive rock, they brought raw, stripped-down energy to their music, defined by short, fast-paced songs and a rebellious spirit. Despite their lack of mainstream commercial success, they influenced countless artists and shaped the global punk movement. Their iconic look of leather jackets and their relentless live performances set them apart. Though internal conflicts and personal struggles marked their journey, their legacy as cultural icons endures, with their music and ethos continuing to inspire generations.
