Punk isn't just a type of music (and blink 182 isn't it) but more like a lifestyle. It's being clear on what you believe in and standing up for it. It means doing things yourself (diy) and not caring what others are going to say about. The greatest representation of this in music I think is nofx. Not because of the genre they play, but more because of the attitude they take towards what they sing about and the energy they use to convey that message. Nofx really doesn't care if you like their cds or not. They are more concerned with getting what they want to say out there, and not really caring if you care. That to me is punk rock.
