I think whoever told you Gaslight Anthem are a Punk band, is a long way off the mark. I'd classify them as an Alternative band, with Classic Rock tendencies.
I'd also agree with you that Punk consists of the bands you've mentioned, plus their US counterparts such as Ramones, and I feel that the movement didn't last long - a couple of years, if that - and that most of what has followed down the years has been an affectionate homage to the trail-blazers.
Genres is tricky devils...
