    I think you've picked poor examples tbh. I wouldn't consider that 'synthpunk'. More New Wave or summat'. The Prodigy would be a better example as it's far more aggressive.

    In answer to your question tho'. Could you imagine GBH or the Exploited substituting their guitars for synths, as used in your examples? It would be a disaster. The only way, in my opinion, that synths could merge into Punk is if they were run through a ****load of outboard distortion and played very dissonantly. Think along the lines of early Cubante. But then again, your now going into the realms of industrial. Where Punk had had a huge influence anyway.

    I suppose 'synthpunk' might be synthpop using aggressive vocals and a live drummer?

    I won't deny that, Futuristik's Split Second is another. very new-wave / darkwave elements too, the keyboard is off the handle in I-night!!
