If that's all punk is, then **** punk. That's just a social club for angry teenagers/misfits who want to conform to nonconformity because they're too insecure to have their own identity. A way for them to make their own little place in the world where they can call themselves cool and mock others in retaliation for others doing the same thing to them. Punk was just one snapshot in the timeline of alternative music (or whatever you wanna call it), and focusing in on one tiny part of it is just silly.
