Punk, too!
Incorrect. Punk has roots in reggae that would make it Caribbean, not American.
While the band Death did evolve into a reggae band and Bad Brains, the undisputed originators of hardcore did have a reggae component, I would have to say that punk rock roots are very much rock 'n roll.
Fun fact, the song "Buffalo Soldier" was directly inspired by The Banana Splits theme song.
Punk's roots are in rock n roll.
