Joey Ramone used to claim The Ramones started punk.

Photography's a joke. Anyone can be a photographer. You do your scary great pictures because you're a professional. I'll take my stupid...automatic camera...take pictures and we'll see if people can tell the difference. - HS, 2-1-02
Is Helter Skelter the 1st punk rock song?????
Iggy and the Stooges, maybe? Smearing peanut butter on your broken glass shard wounds is pretty punk.

I'm not sure who officially "created" it but I do know it ended with the death of GG Allin
Either Black Flag (pre-Poser Rollins) or the Ramones then Minor Threat, Bad Brains, Dead Kennedys and Flipper.
Legs McNeil, who founded "Punk" magazine of course. He was the first to coin the term. Lottsa bands had punk attitude before the 70's, but I bet most would be offended if you called them "punk". Most early "punk" banks would be offended as well.
