Default Were the Dolls even called punk then?

I don't even think it was called punk worldwide till the pistols were invented and he did invent them. They were his brainchild let's face it.
Punk only began with the pistols. The Clash formed after seeing them so did the Buzz****s and even the Smiths (not punk I know).
I don't reckon the dolls even knew what punk was at the time. The Ramones could be the first but I think it was the pistols and the UK that invented punk music as we know it. He invented them and so he does have a claim to say he invented the whole movement.
If he didn't who did?
