I think there needs to be a clear distinction that there is a punk culture and a punk genre. The punk culture is the look and the hair and the attitude and the rebellion. The genre is the music. There could be bands that are part of the punk culture and not part of the genre then, right?
From the punk I've heard there is a definite sound to it. And it's not just being unprofessional or unconventional music because that'd make Lil Yahty punk. I have a hard time describing the sound, but it's like distorted and obnoxious guitars played in a mess manner. It was unconventional for it's time. With vocals to match. I think that's kind of the idea behind punk. The obnoxiousness and the in your face chaos of it's sound.
As for punk being cliche, everything is cliche.
And you couldn't really say punk is dead, with how much influence it still has on modern music. Even in hip hop with artists like Ho99o9 and XXXtentecion embracing the harsh and obnoxious sounds of punk. Oh, and how could I leave Deathgrips out of that.
Who created the first punk song is a rabbit hole we can go down forever. It's definitely not Led Zepplin though. I thought it was common knowledge that they stole most, if not all, of their songs from lesser known artists.
Who was the first punk band I wouldn't know. Probably the Stooges according to what I've seen here.
Edit: Then again I probably shouldn't be talking about a genre when I can hardly name any songs from it.

Lucem, you're right, it's silly to talk about what I would or wouldn't do IRL. Glad you brought it up. Maybe you should write an instrumental about it. I recommend a piano paired with a clarinet. With ambient sounds of you hanging from your shower curtain you ****ing failure.
