Formed in New York City in 1974, the Ramones are widely regarded as the pioneers of punk rock. With their short, fast, and raw songs, and their uniform look of torn jeans and black leather jackets, they defined a sound and style that inspired generations of bands worldwide.

Fueled by anthems like Blitzkrieg Bop, Sheena Is a Punk Rocker, and I Wanna Be Sedated, the Ramones embodied the very essence of punk: urgency, independence, and a complete rejection of musical conventions. Their slogan “Hey Ho Let’s Go” still echoes as a universal rallying cry.

Though all original members have passed away, their legacy remains eternal in the history of rock and punk culture.
