To my knowledge the first time the word punk was printed in reference to music was in Lester Bangs' first printed article, a 1970 review of Kick Out the Jams:
"Never mind that they came on like a bunch of 16 years old punks on a meth power trip - these boys, so the line ran, could play their guitars like John Coltrane and Pharaoh Sanders played sax!"
