'der Rock' and 'der Punkrock' can both refer to music. 'Rock' is the more general term for a music genre with guitars, drums, and vocals. 'Punkrock' is a specific type of rock music: often faster, rougher, and with rebellious lyrics. The words can be confused because punk rock belongs to rock. When speaking generally about the music genre, 'Rock' is enough. If you mean exactly this harder and faster style, 'Punkrock' is more precise. Also important: 'der Rock' can also be an item of clothing; with music, you recognize the meaning from the context.
