First known use of "punk" was in 1596. Its archaic meaning was "prostitute".
It also meant a young inexperienced person, but evolved in the 1940s into petty gangster, hoodlum, or ruffian. Many of the very early rockers of the 1940s and 1950s were called punks, as much for their attitude which was seen as being in opposition to mainstream society and especially their parents. However, "punk" at that time did not have the same meaning as it does today.
The meaning of punk rock did not occur until the 1970s. Even still today, a "punk" is viewed as someone who is insolent, antisocial, disagreeable with society's norms, and as rebellious.
