to claim punk is to claim to be a part of the punk lifestyle because of x, y, x reasons
x, y, and z tend to be justifications based on style or external perception of their person, rather than their upholding the values of a punk lifestyle in action and solidarity (the values of punk being free-speech, self-expression, rebellion against oppressive and exclusive social systems)

"So you saw him purposefully ignore an act of injustice being committed against someone of a systemically oppressed identity?"
"Yeah, but then he showed me his r/joydivison posts, so he can claim punk."
"Didn't he argue in favor of hate speech based on the free market of ideas theory? He told me he thought every idea needed to be discussed and given space for discussion."
"Well, he's wrong about that. But, when he isn't arguing for arguments' sake, he plays in a sick band."
"Oh right, that pit was insane. He claims punk for sure."

It means you don't believe someone. You either think they are embellishing their abilities to look better or they are downright liars.
You're a rocket scientist yet working at McD's. I'm claiming shine.
Your resume says you have 10 degrees from Harvard and 4 from Oxford. I'm claiming shine.
He says he earns a million dollars a year and only lives in Compton to be close to his family. I'm claiming shine.

Hym "That's not all you do though is it? Take Andy and Tristan for example. It's always 'Oh he's a toxicity guys! He's getting accused of human trafficking' but it's never 'he's pretending to be the urban dictionary guy! He's doing the better than Joe Rogan strategum!' And then they never get charged with anything until AFTER I SAY SOMETHING. Where were you!? Just vague ad homs. Destiny? Well? You aren't calling that out! He's doing the exact same thing as Andy! And now there's a sex scandal! And then you're as vague as possible. He's a 'sex pest.' How about 'he's pretending to be Hym and doing the thing he same not to do?' Where's that coming from any of you? I don't even get to hear the claim that's being made but you need video footage and forensic evidence for EVERYTHING EXCEPT the E. Jean Carrol case."
