Because we did, punk rock started in London in 1976, no if's or but's.
The Stooges were not a punk band and neither were the MC5, did they influence the punk movement? Yes they did, but they were not a part of it, otherwise you could list any band with a slightly angsty or nihilistic tone and call them a punk band, only they're not because all you are doing is retroactively applying a label to something before it existed.
