If anyone knows the history of punk rock, they know that there was a whole punk underground that existed for a long time before anyone noticed, and then it became popular. They you had a ton of poser pop-punk bands coming along just making the term "punk" silly. That is what this seems like to me - "edupunks" are just doing what many of us have been doing for years, but seeming to make it look silly. Especially when you use rap/hip-hop lingo terms to discuss a punk term :)
The true "punks" tended to hate be categorized in any way. (I type this as I listen to Bad Brains "Rock for Light" :)
