pop-punk? but i thoug punk was supposed to be anti-mainstream?
you people are mixing up mall punk and pop punk. pop punk should be called “buzz pop”, because when using a term like “pop punk”, the real pop punk kids must constantly defend their bands by saying “it’s pop punk, but not that sh-t on mtv.” look at lookout records circa 1996-oh, forgot about the queers, screeching weasel, groovie ghoulies, riverdales..all that sh-t, didnt you? what would you cl-ssify that as? those bands are certainly not in the same boat as good charlotte and sum 41. i’m not even going to attempt to define “punk rock”, because it’s annoyingly controversial and no matter how hard you try, people are always going to have different definitions for it. whatever. however, “pop punk”, to me, is just simple 3 chord songs pop songs, mostly ramones influenced, faster paced then most regular pop songs, about whatever. sh-t that doesnt matter. fun. girls. heartache. beer. whatever. its supposed to be fun. i hate when sh-t is all serious. this is lame. bye.
the queers, screeching weasel, riverdales, apers, riff randells, parasites, mr. t. experience, lillingtons, excessories, flipsides, ruth’s hat, teen sensation gl-sses, after school special, and the entire mutant pop records catalog, for starters.
the best f-cking music.

when people hear pop punk they for some reason only think of green day, meanwhile pop punk is it’s own scene and even though theyhave contributed to it, they aren’t it.

pop punk a genre mostly for the young. for those kids who know they don’t fit in.

pop punk music is usually more melodic and cleaner-sounding than the original punk rock music. bands such as new found glory, sum 41, good charlotte, yellowcard, simple plan and fall out boy have refined pop punk into a form which stresses strong melody and varied rhythms. lyrics would prety much be the same the only difference would be in the style of singing and also the music. punk rockers would tend to sing at a much fatster pace whereas pop-punk rockers are melodic and would tend to be slow and much more clearer.

—– one more very important thing, please donot listen to all these people in here trying to tell what pop-punk genre is all about as most of them donot know shyt about punk. they consider bad religion & nofx pop-punk. i mean they are the g-dfathers of hardcore punk rock and even a deaf person can tell they are most certainly not pop-punk. i had a good laugh when these so called ‘smart people’ tried to categorize nofx and bad religion into pop-punk. go listen to them first and then decide for yourself.
bands like new found glory, sum 41, good charlotte, yellowcard, simple plan and fall out boy are pop-punk.

bands like nofx, bad religion, s-x pistols, the clash, sham69 and rancid are all punk.
okay. there are two definitions for pop punk.

a. the true pop punk, which is punk music with pop hooks. oftentimes this music will talk about girls, love, etc. because thos things are important to the lyricist at the time. anyone who says that talking about love isn’t punk because “no real punk rockers do” means that you are conforming to what youv’e been told is punk. now, now, we wouldn’t want that, would we, mr. self-declared-anti-conformist?

here, you might be saying,”what a hypocrite. you are telling me right now what the definition of pop punk is, so why can’t i be told the definition of punk?”
you see, the reason i am posting the definition of pop punk is because this is a dictionary, and that’s what they are for. i’m not trying to impose my beliefs on you, i’m trying to make this site a reliable reference for anyone who would like to know what pop punk is widely accepted as meaning.

okay. rant is over.
