Punk for me when looked at as a genre has lost a lot of its meaning. I used to look at it as being purely stylistic, but there's a certain vibe and energy a band gives off when they're within the punk spectrum. A lot of your garden variety classic punk fans will say that punk is dead and that x isn't punk because it doesn't sound like y, but that's because they're Luddites who have an extremely hypocritical, narrow-minded, and ignorant view of what the genre and scene mean.
