Proto-punk (or protopunk) is music that foreshadowed the punk rock genre and sensibilities of the punk movement, particularly rock music artists during the 1960s and early-to mid 1970s. A retrospective label, the musicians involved were generally not originally associated with each other and came from a variety of backgrounds and styles; together, they anticipated many of punk's musical and thematic attributes.
