It's kinda what defines you as punk IMO. Something has too. I mean what some people consider punk now is unreal. It's how punk started and should be honored.

And no ..I don't think Ramones started it.
Okay, so you don't think the Ramones started it. Which of their predecessors do you feel were so big on making a statement that doing so should be considered a fundamental part of punk?

The Sex Pistols were not a predecessor of the Ramones.

I don't know if the Sex Pistols "invented the politics in it" (most likely not) but they weren't one of the first punk bands so it's pretty hard to claim that they have any kind of monopoly on defining the fundamentals of punk.

Here's your answer: they, along with several other NYC punk bands, had a lot of influence on the Sex Pistols.

People could argue about who started it all day I'm sure. The Saints ... Stranded ..etc..but that was one song. Velvet Underground ya ya..The Dolls.

However what I consider punk (which isn't saying anything) was them. Nothing before that to me was. I'm not in the majority I know. Some before them sounded more punk than others. Some I can't get how they get the label.

It felt like punk to me, sounded like punk, smelled like punk. Pere Ubu, Blondie, Television etc..sounded new to me...just not punk.
