Pop Punk

[centipede]

So fish keeps talking about all these pop punk bands,
and she showed me one I didn't mind (Cant remember the name)

But isn't that kind of a Oxymoron.. calling something 'pop punk'

[darcy]

if it's punk AND popular, doesn't that make it pop punk?
Perhaps it's a stylistic thing,. Punkrock power chords, fast, and loud mixed with harmonies and progressions.

pop-punk is the best genre of music

Jawbreaker...

My beef with the term pop-punk is that in the 90's anything wimpy, slick, minor label "punk" band was labelled pop-punk...and it tainted the term. Pop doesn't mean popular anymore...Pop became a genre in the 50's and as long as it's catchy as fuck and full of hooks, I'm Ok with people calling something pop. The Ramones were a pop-punk band...The Pointed Sticks, The Modernettes, Dickies, Descendents (at times), Buzzcocks, Undertones, Boys, etc, etc were all early pop-punk bands. Seems most of the good ones were pulling their influences from the 50's and 60's...later on the decent pop-punk bands were just aping the earlier pp-punk bands. There is a whole culture of bands who ape the ramones/ screeching weasel/queers...all those bands are better than the 90's definition of pop-punk.

oh man, you just pulled the "real emo / fake emo" argument about pop punk, that rules

i want to marry pop punk in all its real and fake forms. i'm still stoked on the first good charlotte album so suck it haters.

I don't know anything about real emo or fake emo...but I know that if it ain't got hooks...it ain't pop. Playing wussy punk doesn't mean you're playing pop-punk...it just means you're not smart enough to write catchy fucking song!

You know how I feel about pop punk.


I feel the same way as Sarah. My favourite genre is pop punk. I love this genre way too much (jk, there's never too much love for pop punk.)

Pop punk is the catchiest genre besides like.. top 40 radio pop.

Dear Andy: REFORM RACETRAITOR.


Also, Pop is a genre. Punk is a genre. Mixing Pop and Punk makes Pop-Punk.

And 90's pop-punk is my favorite pop-punk. Jawbreaker, Dude Ranch-era Blink, Alkaline Trio, the list goes on. So good. SO GOOD.

Being punk is a pop-culture movement one could argue that all punk is pop-punk by default, so there.

Alkaline Trio

I never would have pictured you'd liking them. When I get home can we listen to From Here To Infirmary and eat vegan pizza?

I love pop-punk

He spent 15 years, getting loaded. 15 years till his liver exploded, now what's gonna do now that he can't drink? THE DOCKER SAID....

I'm always stoked when the band down the hall from our practice space covers Bob and brutally murders the trumpet solo EVERY TIME.
