In all seriousness though, albums are the ultimate format for music recording and distribution.

Why is it that hip-hop is considered as starting in '73, but punk's universally regarded as starting in '76 despite the fact that those bands were playing the exact same songs 3 or 4 years prior?

>album
Why is /mu/ so ignorant again?
This is why we need more elitism.

Punk started in the 60s, just in case...

DJ Kool Herc developed the style that was the blueprint for hip hop music. Herc used the record to focus on a short, heavily percussive part in it: the "break". Since this part of the record was the one the dancers liked best, Herc isolated the break and prolonged it by changing between two record players. As one record reached the end of the break, he cued a second record back to the beginning of the break, which allowed him to extend a relatively short section of music into "five-minute loop of fury".[7] This innovation had its roots in what Herc called "The Merry-Go-Round," a technique by which the deejay switched from break to break at the height of the party. This technique is specifically called "The Merry-Go-Round" because according to Herc, it takes one "back and forth with no slack."[8] Herc told The New York Times that he first introduced the Merry-Go-Round into his sets in 1972.[9]

Considering hip hop started as block parties to give kids something to do instead of getting involved with gangs and shit, that makes sense. Plus when you consider the breakbeat was crucial to the start of the genre which again was invented for the same kids to dance to at those block parties...

This was the first real hip-hop song. Prove me wrong. Released 1970.

The whole punk attitude has existed since the 60s with garage rock

Music genres aren't a concrete thing, the culture developed over time and the block party they list is a pretty decent starting point for what developed into hip hop culture
