who invented punk

[Johnny P]

MC5 were out before iggy and the stooges with kick out the jams though.
but i dont think either were really punk i think it was more proto punk like patti smith and the who and i dont think punk was really created with one band it was kinda evolved.Cause the ramones and clash and stuff were influenced by new york dolls and iggy and MC5.But they werent really punky and they were influenced by the who and such who were influenced by blues artist and so on and so on i think it was more of an evloution than anything.

[John]

Some people might find it rather interesting but as someone already said it doesn't get invented....it evolves from something to another and is then made. They don't work on it till they have something new that's just silly

[The Hawk]

Everyone knows Blink 182 made punk in 1997

duh.

Yes it would be just best to agree to disagree only without disagreeing with an agreement which has already agreed to disagree on that very disagreeable issue of agreeing!

[Steven P]

Yeah and when he makes coherent sentences he cant spell!

Tis crazy.

Ok influences doesn't mean that we can't have someone who created punk. Thats the most absurd thing I've ever heard. People can't create something because that something was influenced by predacessors? Dude what? Then no one created anything.

The Ramones.
