Same, as a young Gen X’er, and even after hearing about the NYDolls, there was a post hoc competition between bands that didn’t exist in real life. I liked the Ramones, so I wasn’t as interested in the NY Dolls, which would’ve made no sense to anyone actually living there. Music *loves* competitions

As an old millennial I heard “Hot Hot Hot” a billion times growing up and saw him in “Scrooged.” Only discovered the NYD music and lore later (IIRC I read “Please Kill Me” at 16 and realized WAIT that guy?)
