Educate Us About Punk

[scampr]

I'm sure there are guys here who can really get in to the nitty gritty of this. What are the differences between British, New York and California punk? Who are considered the founding fathers? Who are the modern inheritors and what are they doing now?

Me? I'm illiterate. I just know what I like and I recognize they are different but not their influences and where I can get more guys like them. For instance: NOFX awesome, D Generation really loved. Like the Ramones and Dead Kennedys and the Clash, Generation X, Social Distortion, Sex Pistols. Not sure many of those are really alike. I see the Ramones in D Generation. If I like D Generation, who else should I look for?
