Speaking of punk...
What is it exactly that distinguishes punk music from the rest? In the past, I use to tink of punk music like these people dressed up all gothic looking with bright pink hairspray or something with spikey hair. But later it turns out that many of my favorite bands were really considered punk bands (simple plan, good charlotte, sum41, etc.)

[sub]Punk rock is an anti-establishment music movement that began around 1974-1975 (although transitional forms can be found several years earlier), exemplified by The Ramones, the Sex Pistols, The Damned, and The Clash. The term is also used to describe subsequent music scenes that share key characteristics with those first-generation "punks," and it is often applied loosely to mean any band with "attitude" or "youthful aggression." The term is sometimes also applied to the fashions or the irreverent "DIY" ("do it yourself") attitude associated with this musical movement.

[sub]So, punk is more about the attitude and the look of the band, more then the music.[/sub]

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=punk
Punk:
1. Dry decayed wood, used as tinder.
2. Any of various substances that smolder when ignited, used to light fireworks.
3. Chinese incense.
adj. Slang
1. Of poor quality; worthless.
2. Weak in spirits or health.
1. Slang.
1. A young person, especially a member of a rebellious counterculture group.
2. An inexperienced young man.
2. Music.
1. Punk rock.
2. A punk rocker.
3.
1. Slang. A young man who is the sexual partner of an older man.
2. Archaic. A prostitute.
Punk is a very broad word. When one refers to music, they refer to either the rebellious counter culture person or the general sound of it. Translation:
If they're doing something that's rebellious and is countercultural, then the band members can be classied as punk. Now if the music they play sounds like punk, then it obviously can be punk.
Judging by the sound of older punk bands that I know, and I don't know much about simple plan or sum 41 or good charlotte, sound wise, they're not punk. They're something else, or is at least mixed with something else.
As for them being apart of a rebellious counterculture thing, I'd leave that to you to decide.
EDIT: I agree with valug as well

I think we CAN agree on one thing: Punk sucks.

It so happens to be that most of my favorite bands, as most ppl I know call them, are punk. So I am going to have to disagree.

I can sit on my face.
Punk from the 70's and 80's, and early 90's doesn't suck
Everything now does though. It's not punk.
The Clash Doesn't. The Ramones doesn't. The Sex Pistols doesn't.
Opinions are not fact.

Are there really too many subcatagories to rock music? (Heavymetal,Deathmetal,Grunge,Punk,Ska, etc etc etc) Or is it fine the way it is?
