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.
I believe Television predated the Ramones. If memory serves, they were actually the first CBGB's punk band. The only like-minded group before them in New York was Suicide.
