What was the Stooges' performance style initially described as?

  • Synth-pop

  • Raw, primitive rock

  • Disco

  • Folk music

Answer

The Stooges's performances were initially described as "raw, primitive rock" due to their unpolished and uninhibited style of playing. They rejected the conventional norms of rock music at the time, embracing a more experimental and unconventional approach that emphasized loudness, feedback, and distortion. This distinct sound and image set them apart from their contemporaries and laid the foundation for what would later be known as punk rock.
