How true is punk to its roots today?

I think there are serious developments in the today's punk culture and I can not look upon it favourably. What do you think what changed, what became different?How true is punk to its roots today?
Sorry, what are you talking about? I was a teenager in 1975 and grew up through the punk era. There was no punk culture, no roots to be true to. It was just the ultimate symbol of youth rebellion. Each generation has its own way of showing its dissatisfaction, if you want to look back at what your parents generation did that's pretty sad. Today's youth have an entirely different set of problems to deal with. Punk is just music.How true is punk to its roots today?
Well, maybe we are talking about two different things. My question referred to the punk scene in Germany. According to your answers I guess in England it is not the same, but thanks nevertheless!

None of the music genres has changed all that much. Punk is still punk, pop is still pop, etc. Your tastes in music and artists have changed. New bands come and go, some are better than others. (i.e. No one has been able to come close to Nirvana.)
I think the two above sad it best...
