I'd love to agree with the recent responses but I think there is a pretty accepted punk 'sound' - so it is a musical genre.
The punk ideal of anti-trend and anti-conformist might have started out in tandem with the music but you don't have to sound punk to be punk (or vice-versa), I think.
The fact that there are a lot of bands out there chasing the current trend is hardly a new phenomenon.
(I'd also say that the Sex Pistols were pretty image-conscious)
