I dunno, if punk simply means being honest about who you are and what sort of music you make, that would make a lot of people punk rock as fuck, like Miles Davis, Kate Bush, Frank Zappa or even Andy Kaufman - really, any artist who follow their own vision rather than pander to the audience.

And if that's called being punk, then there should be a better word for it as people were doing that, take The Monks or Velvet Underground f.ex, long before punk ever existed. Punk should have no right to claim ownership of that particular artistic ideal.

In my opinion, a punk attitude should have something to do with proactive rebellion against society, or some aspect of it - and more so than daring to wear a comfy sweater.
