I like the Ramones, but they definitely aren't smart. I used to produce radio shows and I edited an interview with Joey Ramone. He said "uh" like "uh" every other word. Because I like him, I removed most of the "uh"s so he wouldn't sound so daft.
The Ramones were pretty standard with tonality. There's a good chance that Colin Newman knows what a chromatic mediant is, but probably nobody else in punk did.
