Not just easy to play, cheap to create too. Punk music typically has a large locality to it, so that plays to the geographical element of folk music too. Plus, the thriving live scene that is arguably the most important element of punk music can be connected to the oral tradition typically associated with folk.

See when you say things like this y out make it apparent that you actually don't understand the point. The power distance between the artist and the fans is far smaller than most other genres, and THAT is the biggest driving factor to why I'd call punk music the folk of the youth*.
*folk music=music of the people=/=pop music
