Punk started out as Punk. If it started out as 'pop-punk' the word 'pop-punk' would not exist, only the work 'punk' by it's self would ever be used.

Are you basically trying to tell me 'pop-punk' is the exact same thing as 'punk' just because a couple of bands that started punk had pop elements?

The Ramones, they had some pop elements undoubtedy. The Clash, the Sex Pistols, they did not, they were punk. Just because all pure-punk may have some similarities with pop in general doesn't mean the two genres are indistinquishable.
