No, I don't think Punk was Pop music.......it had a following, but much less so than the true pop music......as for rap, hip-hop, ska, reggae, they all had their followings but...it was more(for want of a better word) specialised...it didn't appeal to everyone.....across age groups...now with pop music you can find youngsters and Grandma's humming/whistling/singing Beatles tunes(substitute your own particular favourite for Beatles).
Real Popular music had a wider following, and Punk didn't kill it at all, it is still going strong.

No, I will not discuss it.
Seeing that punk failed to stop the new romantics, Brit pop etc I cannot see your point.
End of discussion.
Agree on that they didn't stop the Bee Gees who were massive in 1978, the year after punks "golden year!" (1977) I see punk as a massive zit on the the face of pop music, when it exploded it very soon cleared up! But did leave a lasting mark = Nirvana!
