CBGB

CBGB was a famous nightclub in New York City, established in 1973 and originally standing for "Country, Bluegrass, and Blues," showcasing those genres. Over time, it became a renowned hub for punk rock and alternative music, hosting influential bands like the Ramones, Blondie, and Talking Heads. The venue was known for its gritty, underground vibe and played a key role in shaping the American punk movement. Although it closed in 2006, CBGB remains an iconic symbol of independent music culture and the emergence of new, rebellious sounds in the late 20th century.
