That's why you can say something like "wow this rapper is really Punk" and you are not referring to power chords
But nobody says that because they actually think the rapper IS punk in any real way, it's just a casual way to say they have some sort of rebellious attitude. And it's usually a pretty shallow and vapid comparison anyway, since the vast majority of people think punk is all power chords and shouting about the government.
