Punk (more like hardcore / alternative / near metal in Rollins' case) is something created from scratch. It isn't an assemblage of other people's work, it isn't some goof yelling "wave your hands in the air" over someone else's record... it is real emotion, from the original artist.
While DJing is a skill (and some consider it an art) the underlying material is someone else's art. It's like putting a picasso through a photocopier, cutting it in half, and attaching a Van Gogh on the other half. It's new, yeah... but the true art didn't happen at the photocopier.
