When did punks become hippies?

Occasionally, as a public service, I like to reprint something here from Facebook, for all the folks that I can’t bring myself to “friend.”

So, any thoughts? Am I alone in thinking that the folks who gathered here in Ann Arbor for Punk Week weren’t really punks, at least in the classic sense? And I realize that I sound like an angry old man when I say this, but I remember punks. I lived in Atlanta when the Sex Pistols first came over to the states. I’ve even seen the punk episode of Quincy… And I don’t think these punks we’re seeing wash up on the shores of Ann Arbor are the same species. They’re something new, some kind of hybrid. I don’t have a problem with it, but I’m curious as to when it happened. Was it a gradual thing, or was there one big event where everything changed?
