There's quite a few that aren't like that (e.g., Visionary, Child, Judge, Architect, Jester, Bon Vivant) and some that can be taken that way (e.g., Rebel, Critic, Director) but aren't necessarily that way. I think the Gothic-Punk element of the setting is really portrayed in the degeneration system, which drags everyone down into being a callous jerk.
Some of them admittedly vary based on the descriptive text, which is never quite the same between games. You can see where specific authors had far more negative opinions about the N/D based on the wording. Both the Hunter and Demon corebooks stress that the Child can be just as much a stubborn brat as an unsullied innocent, but the Hunter book's phrasing is far harsher: "An immature, selfish creature" compared to "a constant need for attention" in Demon. Similarly, Bon Vivant varies between "Always seeks excess and instant gratification" and "You may have serious matters to take care of, but there's nothing that says you can't have some fun along the way."
