What do The Damned, Television, and Ramones have in common sound wise?
Basically nothing.

Amateuristic, Simple, (often rather monotone), fast paced, raw, straight to the point/brief music inspired by amateuristic Rock N' Roll bands in order to go back to basics?
I know the DIY and amateuristic thing IS a Punk thing, that's why I said ''still has going on'', you don't need to clarify it. I mean, the amateurism is even in the name. But Punk Rock definitely has a general sound, often with very similar riffing. Hardcore Punk has a sound. Skate Punk has a sound, etc. That those early bands sound different (I think at least, I wasn't there) has more to do with that the genre wasn't fully established yet. I mean, Talking Heads were considered as Punk as the Ramones, despite sounding completely different. What you're doing is almost (It's not the exact same) like saying Powerviolence has no specific sound because Man is the Bastard sounds nothing like Charles Bronson.
