Euphemism for sex.

It was slang for sex before rock was even created. It wasn't until many years later that Alan Freed picked up on it & used it. Rock & Roll meant sex in the car. Parking.

In 1951, Cleveland, Ohio, disc jockey Alan Freed began playing this type of music for a multi-racial audience, and it is Freed who is credited with coining the phrase "rock and roll" to describe the rollicking R&B music that he brought to the airwaves. Freed also organized rock and roll shows attended by both whites and blacks, further helping to introduce African-American musical styles to a wider audience.

Punk rock got its name because of how its followers reacted to the music itself. The followers are "punk" or as some people call "anti-everything", but these people don't care what they were just as long as it suits them. The music itself can be mellow or have some to little screaming in it. Bands like "Fall out Boy", "Green Day", and "Rise Against" are great examples.
