Most of us play like that.

Punk is more of a mindset, or a methodology to doing things rather than a specific musical style. For instance, what do The Sex Pistols have in common with The Talking Heads?

Nuttin'! But since when were the Talking Heads a punk band? I know these labels are tiresome and pointless, but they do have some meaning when describing musical styles, and although punk might be a lifestyle or state of mind, it still describes a type of music, with a few different periods and different geographical styles in its history.

I play punk style bass with a pick when playing punk style music on old Tokai hard Puncher copy with Roto rounds.

There is no such thing as one "punk style bass." The bass styles in punk since the beginning have been pretty diverse; some are quite different from one another. There are so many varieties of punk out there.
