Richard Hell and the Voidoids released this legendary single "Blank Generation" in 1977 and he was also a big part of what became the punk look with his ripped jeans with safety pins and short spiked hair. Richard Hell was a founding member of New York band 'Television' with Tom Verlaine until leaving in 1975. He then had a short stint with Johnny Thunders in 'The Heartbreakers' and finally starting Richard Hell and the Voidoids in 1976. The title "Blank Generation" was a play on the 'Beat Generation' poets. It was a groundbreaking single and it set the standard for punk.
