But that was all done with early rock and folk, even before the so-called pre-punk stuff of the late 60s. Bob Dylan is just one example. And for that matter, so was Woody Guthrie and the early blues icons like Robert Johnson, Blind Lemon...
The thing about the punk movement was that it claimed to own all the ideas you describe, and then tried using them to beat all the classic rock bands over the head as a way to promote themselves. Ironically, from a commercial standpoint, that seemed to work, even as the punk bands claimed not to be commercial.
