You would know the kinksmen because they wrote the song louie louie. you might think im crazy. but after that there were bands like the velvet underground iggy pop the new york dolls and MC5 in the new york underground that were the ones that influenced all the club bands like the ramones.

Influenced punk but had nothing to do with it. Using your logic that would make Kraftwerk an Acid House band or any other electronica genre band.

Then what term of reference do you suggest calling music that came after punk that wasn't punk but was influenced by it?
Post punk means just that, it came after punk, it wasn't punk but it was influenced by it. It isn't a stupid term at all. Just because using the term 'post' might sound stupid to you in another context in another genre doesn't mean that using it in this context does.
