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."

Get the Daft Punkmug. A subculture emerging in the mid 1970's formed around the music of punk rock. Typically associated with DIY fashion, anarchy, and vulgar in-your-face attitudes; the definition of punk is better categorized as a form of shameless self expression and an ideology of doing what one desires regardless of social norms while still treating those around you with kindness and respect.

Get the Punkmug. The act of convincing someone they’re smelling a dead skunk outside, when you actually ripped a silent, smelly fart in the car. Verb.
When my wife asked what that awful smell was on the way to the store, I had to skunk punk her, lest she know that she was actually smelling my gas.

Get the skunk punkmug. A subgenre of egg punk that is filled with references to the Italian cartoon series "Calimero". Picture a punkier version of Devo, but with eggshell helmets instead of energy domes and the overall attitude and behaviour of the cute black Italian chick.
Customer: Do you have any egg punk albums?
Record store cashier: Indeed, we do.
Customer: Do you have any Calimero punk albums?
Record store cashier: I don't think a genre like that exists.
