Early Caberet Voltaire kinda falls into a category that has its roots in punk. How can anyone forget Alien Sex Fiend. The Butthole Surfers have been looping for years. Ministry certainly springs to mind as the most modern and recent version of Punky Loop stuff ( though today they have turned into more or less a genereic thrash band. ) Remember Controlled Bleeding ??? What about the entire slew of artists you'd find on the Wax Trax Label back in the mid to late 80's - These guys were all punkers or rather punkers with synths and samplers. RaPeman & big black; aka - steve albini looped beats and loud guitars so well Ministry decided to cop his entire sound when they found their guitars and amps in a jungle of roland drum machines. Skinny Puppy, & Naubauten ( spelling ???)& Wire all qualify as groups that came from or out of a Punk Rock Perspective. pUnk died a long time ago, close to 20yrs ago now (1979 and its still being approriated and slammed - probably forever. it seems punks impact is stil felt today. you can reasonably argue both objectively and effectively 2 differing points : punks influence was and is for the either better or the worse of things over the last 20 yrs. Its safe to say Punks impact is still being felt or rather unfolded today though nowhere near the threat, sincerity and vitality that it had while it was really living.
