Urban Hat€monger ?

It depends on how you look at it , punk didn`t just exist it evolved. The question is how far do you want to go back?

You want to say Iggy & The Stooges were first? Why not MC5 or the Sonics , those bands both played the same sort of music as the Stooges yet they pre date them.

The New York Dolls? Most of their stuff is basically a rip off of Beggers Banquet era Rolling Stones , Are the Stones the first punk band?

The Velvet Underground? The only reason they get mentioned is because they were basically an art rock band & most of the British punk movement were in art school.
The Velvet Underground influence people like Bowie , Bolan & Roxy Music rather than the punk era.

Simple answer? Neither band created the scene or named it.
