People who say "keep politics out of" anything are usually stupid. Most things are political. Implicitly supporting the status quo is political. Leaving things unsaid is political.

Usually the people who pop out that line mean "keep politics that are different than mine out of".

But on topic, punk is extremely political. For example, please review these lyrics from The Clash "Know Your Rights", 1982

You have the right not to be killed
Murder Is a crime!
Unless it was done
By a policeman or an aristocrat

No, most things aren't political. But punk isn't one of them.

Politics (from Ancient Greek πολιτικά (politiká) 'affairs of the cities') is the set of activities that are associated with making decisions in groups, or other forms of power relations among individuals, such as the distribution of resources or status.

That covers literally anything involving a group of people doing things.
