I would agree that most music can be formulated and created, but not when we're talking about punk.
Even gothic songs could be formulated, just look at Voodoo Church (which is a good band nonetheless). You take a theme out of a B-movie, and either sing happily about it (Specimen-type) or sadly about it (The Cure-type) and it would fool more than half of us, passing as a genuine gothic song.
But punk attitude is different than that. It's more of 'you have something to say? Grab a guitar and start saying it!'
It had nothing to do with meter and riffs; it had everything to do with expression and meaning.
