pseudo-punk 

background: the word 'pseudo' meaning fake, put together with 'punk'.

A person who trys to be punk and "hardcore", but truly is the exact opposite. pseudo-punks bring shame to true punks. many claim they are "anarchists" as well, even though they consistantly shop from hot topic, which contradicts basic anarchist morals. a psuedo punk may do but is not limited to the following: wearing ramones and sex pistols shirts, and not knowing ONE song by either, shopping from hot topic (as mentioned above), calling anyone who doesn't dress like them and/or disagrees with them "preps" and "conformists", and may smoke pot or do other narcotics to be rebellious.
ramones fan: nice ramones shirt you got there. what's your favorite song by them?

psuedo-punk: uhhhmm, erm, i dunno..."sex and drugs"?

ramones fan: uh, that's not a ramones song.

psuedo-punk: just shut up you stupid preppy!1!11!!

psuedopunk 

A person who misconcieves usage of the word "punk", believing that it's conforming to pop-punk. After Bad Religion, The Dead Kennedys, The Ramones, etc. introduced and/or became a leading influence in punk rock, their philosiphy came to mean that people can basically do whatever they want (see anarchy). Today, these bands echo into modern groups such as Blink 182, NOFX, or AFI. Being popularly endorsed, Hot Topic material, they really contradict the whole idea of punk, earning the term, psuedo-punk.

Punk has an affiliation with emo, though Psuedopunk contradicts with psuedo Emo.
Punk - Being original, not like anyone else. Given that, it's close to impossible to put an affilliated definition onto it. Usually punk rock consists of fast-moving beats, such as heard in Crass, Subhumans, The Germs, X, X-Ray Spex, Dead Kennedys, Brother Inferior, Whorehouse of Representatives, The Ramones, Bikini Kill, Team Dresch, Bad Religion, Naked Aggression and Conflict.
Psuedopunk - Often offensive misconception of anarchy (people who believe it's disorder and chaos, rather than people not needing government), uses more hard beats than fast beats. Because most of this is commercialised beyond belief, such as in Hot Topic, and don't encurage originality but mirroring people (thousands of people wearing the same shirt, trying to be 'original' and 'catchy', but failling miserably).

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
