Similar to a mix between a hardcore gamer, indie gamer, and retro gamer. They tend to have a love for games that are retro, Japanese, indie, or just plain classics. They also love the less popular retro titles and tend to seek deeper meanings, symbolism, and plot that affects the player subconsciously. They search for and adore retro pop culture references, including movies, music, or comics in the games they play. They couldn't give less of a shit about graphics, and look more for character development and design.
They hate bro gamers, and will generally not look upon casual gamers as well, though they only truly hate casual gaming. Everything else about them fits well into punk, indie, sometimes hipster, and once in a blue moon perhaps emo. But if a scene kid is ever one of these... well that's almost impossible.
Games with grungy, punkish or even just indie soundtracks are a subject of enjoyment especially.

Punk gamers play:
No More Heroes, Scott Pilgrim, Mega Man 9 are modernish punk games.
Final Fantasy II, Mega Man 2, and Dragon Quest are examples of games that are often talked about and referenced.
Punk Gamers do NOT play:
FPS Games (unless they're retro like GoldenEye, Doom, or Quake)
Sports games
Gimmicky games (especially not these)

A spin off of garage bands and then garage punk. White middle class adolescent adults who form a group, play punk rock to audiences compromised mainly of friends. Think they are good cause they get to play at clubs for next to nothing. Usually followed by garbage groupie sluts who get their jollies thinking they are doing rock stars.
Did you hear "Hearts and Guts" play at the Crypt last night?
Yeah, they're so loud, one of the better garbage punk bands I've heard shout and scream in a long time. They are real time Punk Junk. I like the "Horrible Rock" scene. Can't wait to get out of high school.

Starting with bands such as propaghandi and the vandals, true pop punk today is much more accessible and centered around bands such as Fireworks, Transit, The Wonder Years, Polar Bear Club, and to a lesser extent Title Fight.
New Found Glory is considered to be the band which brought Pop Punk into the spotlight and influenced all of the bands above to some extent.
Fall out boy, Sum 41, Simple Plan, ect. are not pop punk. They are no different than mainstream top 40 artists like brittney spears or miley cirus. They use the same gimmicky pop hooks and overproduction except with guitars and awful fucking clothing.

A more popular form of a Punkish type of Rock. It loses (most or all of) the additutde of Punk while keeping its 1 2 3 rhythm. Good Pop-Punk bands would be old Blink-182, Old Sum 41, American Hi-Fi, Zebrahead, and Motion City Soundtrack. Bad Pop-Punk bands would be new Sum 41, Fall Out Boy, Panic! At The Disco and The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus.
Pop-Punk was a style that was around in the 80's but made a bigger spring in the late 90's and early 21st century. Pushing away the horrible Madonna and Britney influenced techno which clouded up the 90's.
Characteristics of Pop-Punk include
A 1 2 3 Rhythm
Clean vocals
By the way to all you guys who say Punk was anti-mainstream it really wasn't. Because The Ramones and The Sex Pistols and The Clash were mainstream so how they be anti-mainstream?
Anyway more recently Pop-Punk has taken a turn to more emotional types of lyrics, usually from the point of view of a boy who is observing problems that a girl is having or problems he is having with a girl.
