Who started punk music?
To improve on a somewhat errored answer, by the time the Ramones played in the UK, the “punk” scene there was already begining. The Ramones, although adopted and claimed by punks, were about as close as you could get to punk without being fully punk (yeah i hear your groans now, but you’re wrong) A big debate over who started punk will never go answered, and is between two bands who were hugely influenced by the ramones. Hardcore fans of the Sex Pistols say they did, and hardcore fans of The Clash say they did. So pick who you want and run with it.
