What about Dead Kennedys, Bad Religion, Black Flag, Anti Flag, just to throw a few contenders out there.

NoFX is great. I like fat Mike. I listened to the Decline a hundred times when it was current... Not sure I can call any one bad the " most punk"

Likely a good response… And even NOFX says ‘the Moron Brothers’ are more punk then they are. Fictional, but more punk. Given, it maybe a bad question in the first place. The real question would be,” who embodied, personified and pushed punk the farthest in their band”

That's hard to to say too... Define "punk".

For instance,, I fucking loathe that anyone even knows the name GG Allin... But some will contest he was the most realist hardcore "punk extreme" ever..

When he was actually a disgusting sack of shit with multitude of mental health issues.

Actually the The Moron Brothers are NOFX drummer Erik "Smelly" Sandin and their roadie DJ. That's who the song is about.

Propagandhi could be a contender for embodies, personified, and push punk the most.

Bad Religion is a good contender in this arena. Not feeling 100% about the others. DK is punk, but I feel falls a bit short

I think Jello alone holds a pretty punk attitude whether I agree with everything or not. But from 1978 to 2019... That's a punk Band through the ages... I'm not qualified to even give an opinion on some of their history and rationale because I was not around during it.

Antiflag has been staunchly rooted in political activism in their music, unwaveringly. I'm not a huge fan of theirs but it is what it is.

Black flag is mentioned only for Henry Rollins. He's ultimately a guy who tries to live well and offer his insights, which I think is pretty punk.

Bad Religion is honestly the one I put up as the potential crown snatcher.... They are just so damn good.
