Proto-punk is a retronym, and from an interview I've seen of Richard Lloyd he didn't consider himself playing in a "Proto-punk" band. Wikipediea doesn't have Televison even mention in their article about Proto-punk, but Television is listed with "Art punk/Avant punk". Most of the time when genre labels are created it has more to do with lumping artist together as a marketing play for record companies so the consumer can find other like bands that are like the bands she/he likes. Rockpile, Elvis Costello, The Stray Cats were lumped in with Punk bands at the time too, and they really didn't consider themselve part of the Punk movement. And Malcom McLaren wanted The Sex Pistols, who are known as the flagship of Punk that were the first Uk band that intiated the Punk movement in the UK - that's if you don't take into consideration the effects of the Ramones, to be known as New Wave. So if you had Malcoms way the Pistols would be known as New Wave not Punk.
