The CBGB bar in America is called the tramp bar. Why do punk fans pay tribute now?

Recently, CBGB, a world-famous rock punk bar, is facing the dilemma of closing down or changing owners. The CBGB Bar, known as the Tramp Bar, is about to close down. The reason for its closure is that the bar rent has risen too fast, and the bar has already faced the dilemma of making ends meet. As the birthplace of punk culture, CBGB Bar is visited by many punk lovers. It's really embarrassing to face bankruptcy because of lack of funds.

The English full name of CBGB is "CBGB OMFUG", which is the abbreviation of rural grassroots blues music, while "OMFUG" is the abbreviation of "other music to cheer Gormandizers". The owner of CBGB, Heineken Crystal, founded the bar because he wanted to have a small bar where people who like grassroots blues as much as himself can fly.

The legend of CBGB began one afternoon in 1974. At that time, Heineken was repairing the roof in front of the door when three young people wearing ripped jeans and T-shirts came, and these three young people were the three members of the legendary TV band: lead singer Tom Warin, bassist Richard Haier and Richard Roy. Later, the three young people performed a joint performance with ramones, which later became the most famous punk band in the world. Although the audience was few, the equipment broke down constantly, and the performance effect was poor, it made Heineken see a brand-new music form, a new music performance form that was more real, passionate and simple, which was what we later called punk music. So Heineken decided to let them perform in the bar regularly every week.

It was not until these two bands became famous that CBGB Bar was known. Although the current CBGB is about to close down, it will remain in the hearts of everyone who likes punk music in a spiritual way.
