It may have been around in some forms before it was around as Punk. But still, until it has an identity all its own and a definitive image all its own, it is not around.

So the question would be who was the first to brand it as punk.

Stooges, sure. The Monks, maybe.

But none of them are punk, only given the title in hindsight. So have to figure out who it was that caused them to go back and be labeled as punk, and then you find the inventor of punk.
