I thought the punk thing was less about lack of talent than lack of technique. So those worth listening to had managed to find a release without having to go through years of distillation by music tuition and found the opportunity to be heard. & the talentless just showed they weren't worth listening to
I think the point was that while there was no longer the stigma against picking up an instrument without years of training but still not everybody could pick one up and get something worthwhile out of it. & talent was what allowed an untrained musician to get their ideas through.

Talent was more related to ideas than technique in a way.

But yeah would be good to get to a point where unschooled music was coming through, since it presumably wouldn't be directed in one way which is becoming tired. Hoping that media like the internet allow for this but not 100% sure.
