his time and the Sex Pistols. But none of those bands were punk bands until there was punk music. |
I can definitely get on board with this. According to what I've read/heard, then the answer would be the Ramones. Some journalist had gone to see them
to write a review and in it, he called it "punk music," meaning it as an insult more than anything else.

From wikipedia so take it with a grain of salt:
The first known use of the phrase punk rock appeared in the Chicago Tribune on March 22, 1970, attributed to Ed Sanders, cofounder of New York's
anarcho-prankster band The Fugs. Sanders was quoted describing a solo album of his as "punk rock—redneck sentimentality".[71]
Dave Marsh was the first music critic to employ the term punk rock: In the May 1971 issue of Creem, he described ? and the Mysterians, one of the most
popular 1960s garage rock acts, as giving a "landmark exposition of punk rock".[74] Later in 1971, in his fanzine Who Put the Bomp, Greg Shaw wrote
about "what I have chosen to call 'punk rock' bands—white teenage hard rock of '64-66 (Standells, Kingsmen, Shadows of Knight, etc.)".[75] Lenny Kaye
used the term "classic garage-punk," in reference to a song recorded in 1966 by The Shadows of Knight, in the liner notes of the anthology album
Nuggets, released in 1972.[76] In June 1972, the fanzine Flash included a "Punk Top Ten" of 1960s albums.[77] In February 1973, Terry Atkinson of the
Los Angeles Times, reviewing the debut album by a hard rock band, Aerosmith, declared that it "achieves all that punk-rock bands strive for but most
miss."[78] Three months later, Billy Altman launched the short-lived punk magazine.[79]
Well I've got a feeling I'm gonna get mine in. Retribution let the games begin.
