Granted a lot of "punk" bands took influances from MC5 and the dolls and even kiss, but as a musical style and way of life punk blew up everywhere without ever knowing about eachother untill long after the fact. Canada, USA, Britain Ireland, and most of Europe, New Zealand, Austrila, they all had bands doing the same kind of music with same kind of idealogy at the same time. IT WAS TIME FOR A CHANGE!
