That was the whole damn point of punk rock at first, which I am old enough to remember. It was a rebellion against granola-ism and 11-minute guitar solos.
But hey, don't take it from me, take it from an expert, Johnny Ramone:
...the hippie movement which is left-wing. Punks, you identify them if you go back to the fifties and sixties as a bunch of greasers who are more right-wing and anti-peace demonstrations and that kinda stuff. Then suddenly in the punk rock movement you start having these left-wing kids who are really hippies who have become punks but are still really hippies.
