You're right about the sound, and I couldn't agree more. However, I believe the punk scene was really getting started in 77, and that was the year Television, Clash, Sex Pistols, Wire, Talking Heads and many other punk bands came out. Ramones was just starting it in 76, taking the influence and pretty much setting the standards. I suppose punk as a genre was legit in 77 or 76.
