Punk was invented by Malcolm McLaren to sell Vivienne Westwood's clothes. Punk had it's time, I suspect that the people that bought into this identity would have been just as likely to be 'football casuals' if they had been born a decade later or be sporting 'hipster beards' had they been born two decades later. So yes, just a mask to put on.
