From the Wikipwdia page “Punk subculture” in the “Ideologies” section.
“Punk politics cover the entire political spectrum, although most punks could be categorized as having left-wing or progressive views. Punk-related ideologies are mostly concerned with individual freedom and anti-establishment views.
Common punk viewpoints include anti-authoritarianism, a DIY ethic, non-conformity, direct action and not selling out. Other notable trends in punk politics include nihilism, anarchism, socialism, anti-militarism, anti-capitalism, anti-racism, anti-sexism, anti-nationalism, anti-homophobia, environmentalism, vegetarianism, veganism and animal rights. H
owever, some individuals within the punk subculture hold right-wing views (such as those associated with theConservative Punk website), neo-Nazi views (Nazi punk), or are apolitical (e.g.horror punk).”
Punk subculture is a mixed bag. Punks can come from any and all walks of life and economic classes. I’m not sure that describing the President as “Punk” is entirely accurate.
In the punk subculture, the epithet “poseur” (or “poser”) is used to describe “a person who habitually pretends to be something he is not.
The term “poseur” is much more accurate. (IMHO)
