I agree with him - 'punk' was a counter movement to 1970's metal & progressive rock. Punk bands of the 1970's were really just playing early 1960's pop / garage rock but with more energy. Take a look at most UK punk - it was treated as pop music by the masses, albeit a completely different form of pop music.
