Dear Katherine,

Well being in my 70's now, for me PUNK ERA refers to the old-time steam logging days, when everybody's life depended on the skill of a Whistle Punk who tooted signals between the donkey puncher and the choker setters, to get the logs safely pulled into the landing.

So here he is, an archetypal whistle punk from the steam logging days in British Columbia, do you think this fine fellow might be indeed reminiscing on your reptilian synapsida? (Who btw I read were around even before the dinosaurs...)

Weird, I was wondering if, besides the everlasting generational conflicts giving rise to various more or less artistic "revolution waves" and subcultures throughout human history, the punk movement was inspired by ancient popular rites and traditions, like hairstyles and clothing items:

I didn't know that was where they found their inspiration from, that's quite something.

Yes, they were referring to the Mohicans or a Mohawk style, but it is much older than that and was also found in far away, ancient cultures:
