Elphenor claimed that punk music was an attitude. That DIY, amateur, simplistic approach to it. I said that punk has a sound, and that attitude can be applied to bands outside of the punk genre. Bands like Black Sabbath can be met with the amateuristic and simple approach. While bands like godsmack had a DIY attitude in there early days. But you wouldn't call either of those bands punk.

Okay, punk is an attitude, but not the one he describes.

It does involve DIY, but the punk attitude also includes having a lot of energy, generally protesting the system, and usually angst/anger towards society.

His point was that punk was an attitude, but also not a sound.

I'm not saying punk isn't an attitude. In fact it's the exact attitude that you describe. But punk music has a sound. And elephenor is claiming that what I'm saying isn't true.
