Its pretty much the same idea as free-jazz soloing.

Black Flag is a good example of this.
Yeah, plus the Saxophone playing on The Stooges' Funhouse

I mean, Stravinsky was one of the first to include atonal and abrasive passages in his music, but I wouldn't really say The Rite of Spring was a proto-punk symphony...
If you trace musical influences back far enough you get back to a man in a cave banging bones together.

To my knowledge the first time the word punk was printed in reference to music was in Lester Bangs' first printed article, a 1970 review of Kick Out the Jams:
"Never mind that they came on like a bunch of 16 years old punks on a meth power trip - these boys, so the line ran, could play their guitars like John Coltrane and Pharaoh Sanders played sax!"

In that case your logic is skewed as well as Kevorkian.
