Best Answer

In the mid-seventies, Malcolm McLaren, the manager of the Sex-Pistols and co-opted the word to describe the image and sound he fashioned for the band,but historically The Ramones and The New York Dolls are considered to be the first embodiments of true Punk.

However, the word "punk" was first used to describe a musical style by Dave Marsh in Creem magazine in the early 1970s, in reference to the bands on the Nuggets compilation LP, which was put together by Lenny Kaye (of Patti Smith's band) to highlight the largely negelected and forgotten acts of the mid-1960s, such as The Seeds, The Chocolate Watchband, ? & the Mysterians, The Standells, etc, as well as the countless other teen garage bands who never even had a sniff at the charts.
