you would need a LOT of power to snap a bass string

thats bullshit
many bassists use picks and fingers for different styles, so do guitarists.
plus, theres no such thing as a "real" bassist - everyone is different
punk usually sounds better with a pick though

what u gotta do is learning with ur fingers and then with the pick cuz you'll need both of them eventually

It's good playing with either, without a pick it produces a chompy sound, which some bassists prefer over the sound that comes from playing with a pick. Play with whichever style you're comfortable with. :)

Punk bass usually just plays behind the guitars as its more guitar driven. But if you wanna expand into funk or fusion, even RnB, you might want to think fingers. Plus with fingers, you produce a warmer sound and can learn more advanced bass techniques such as string popping and slapping which could keep you interested in the instrument more instead of just picking the same four notes in a song. Picks will help you play faster quavers though. Pros and cons for both sides.
P.S. Stop arguing.
