Yeah never forget that "punk" doesn't exist. It's a media term invented to put a certain group of artists into a box to sell the idea of their being one cohesive thing to an audience. The only real difference with punk is that it was a sort of spark point where, rather than just being a handful of artists connected only through influence, they were part of various scenes that were happening at the same time. "Punk" is just a snapshot of specific bands in a specific time period in the evolution of non-mainstream rock music. It doesn't actually have any inherent meaning except in deliberately drawing conclusions based on perceived similarities and interactions between the artists.
