Definition of real "punk rock"?

It appears that I've misplaced my Punk Rock Rule Book... There is obviously a heated debate over "punk" rock, so I am wondering who can define modern "punk rock" for those of us who are not clear on this subject. What is "real" punk rock, if it even exists?

There was recently a Chips Ahoy commercial with a song that went, "Punky Chips Ahoy! Oi! Oi! Oi!"
Conclusion: Punk is dead

The rock and roll hall of fame did a pretty damn good job explaining punk rock. drive, fly or walk to Cleveland to find your answer.

Punk has a rule book. I thought there were no rules in punk, what a joke.

not questioning what 'punk' is would be a good start.

Questioning things is basically one of the things that was part of the punk subculture. But I have no idea what REAL punk rock is these days - it seems a bit washed out, with a few nuggets of gold in there somewhere. But yeah, things like Blink182 and Sum41 aren't what I would view as punk at all, rather a very tacky watered down version of it that is just trying to use it's image to flog off mind numbing crap. Basically, I haven't heard a Blink182 song that made me think about current events or anything with depth.
Then again, most subcultures are filled with difficulties of trying to find out what is "real" rock, metal, punk, hardcore, etc. Sometimes what's not quite punk can still be valid and worthy, but is hard to truly define as "real" punk.
Either way, "MTV, get off the air".

I wouldnt say "Punk is Dead" its just been changed so much to where its nothing like before (Emo)
oh and i forgot to say new "punk" SUCKS its not even remotly close to how it used to sound
i recently bought Punk goes 90's and i thought it would be pretty good i take it home n listen and the first artist (if thats what u wanna call them)is fucking Emery and i listen to it and more than half of the "Artists" are emo bands claiming theyre punk, im tired of there screaming annoying music destroying airwaves and tv channels with their whining voices! lol

If they can play the instruments they're whacking at well it isn't punk.
If they play another instrument they suck at then they can still be punk. The Velvet Underground will always be punk because none of them can sing although a few can play their instruments. Alright, they can all play. But none of them can sing. At all. That's why they're great. Does that mean Dylan is punk????? OI OI OI.

i knew my days in the punk scene were long since dead when i talked to a few young 'punks' one day about music.. i got 'who?' to talk of the clash, DK, fugazi, subhumans, ex ray spex, etc...
i was appalled.

for me punk has always just been that side of me who didnt give a fuck about shit but the music, the scene, the drugs (including alcohol), the fighting, and the women.
Raw, like under the ledge of society.
ReaganYouth can play their instruments well and they are definately a "real punk" band.
bands to check out
Gang of Four Gangreen Crucifucks Buzzcocks Sham 69 Clit 45
and if you like Oi, The Lower Class Brats, they have a fuckin junkie-ass 80's guitarist, and a fuckin clockwork orange looking guy for a singer, fuckin good band 
pretty much anything u hear of on tv, magazines etc is not punk.
if u want REAL punk download soulseek.
