Only in the sense that it's descended from it.

It grew out of Beatdown Hardcore/New York Hardcore and now sounds different, but I think it still fits Punk better than just being a separate rock genre altogether.
edit:
The Menzingers play pop punk but it doesn't sound like the Ramones, buzzcocks or early Undertones. Neither does Morning Glory.

Hardcore has interbred so much with metal since the late 80s that I feel like it is pretty far removed from punk at this point. And it's own subgenres, like grindcore and powerviolence, are really far removed from punk.

It did but that was called Metalcore for a reason. How are Grindcore and powerviolence not punk? What?
What's next, Crust Punk isn't punk? All have metal elements to them, but they're still punk genres.
Grindcore is both Punk and Metal though.

No, it was called Crossover. Metalcore was later. My point is that metal and hardcore have cross pollinated so much that hardcore has moved far away from its punk roots.

They sound nothing like punk. It's like saying post punk is blues because it's a form of rock and rock came from blues. At some point styles evolve far enough from their ancestors that they belong in a different category.

I've always thought Crust was a pretty badly named and poorly defined style honestly.

Is everything that can trace its roots back punk a subgenre of punk to you? Is Indie Rock punk? Electroclash? Glam Metal?
