Pop Punk

Pop punk (also known as punk pop and other names) is a fusion genre that combines elements of punk rock with pop music, to varying degrees. It is not clear when the term pop punk was first used, but pop-influenced punk rock had been around since the 1970s; performed by bands such as the Ramones, Buzzcocks, The Jam, The Undertones, and Generation X. Bad Religion, who started in 1980, were another early band to play the genre, and some consider them godfathers of pop punk. Read more…|Edit this Artist photo: Strike

'pop punk' may suck as a genre, but I still have mad love for Paramore, Blink, and New Found Glory.

Love Pop Punk :) But, only revolution groups are Blink182, Fall Out Boy, Story of the Year, 30 Seconds To Mars :) Angels & Airwaves are awesome new way of pop-punk. Next generation of this genre ;)

"I HATE pop punk so much... It's pathetic... It's poor imitation of real punk rock" if it was trying to be punk, this would be a valid argument. But it's not. so you lose.

I think a lot of the reason why pop-punk's getting such a bashing here is that all the bands here except Blink and NFG aren't even pop-punk. Screeching Weasel, Chixdiggit, Teenage Bottlerocket? Now thats pop-punk, Blink and NFG are just about too but as for Paramore? That's like calling Vanilla Ice gangsta rap...

"Pop Punk is just a sad excuse for people who dont have the balls to be real punks =/ in my opinion but blink 182 is awesome" Yeah, but I'm not a punk nor am I trying to be, so what does it matter if the music I like is "real punk" or not?

pop punk's not a pop subgenre. started with punk. ramones-screeching weasel-green day etc...and as time goes on the bands get poppier. and there's nothing wrong with pop punk, there's just alot of shitty bands. ALOT of shitty bands. like yellowcard. and simple plan. but there are definately pop punk bands that you don't feel inclined to punch in the face. oh and blink 182 suck ass. in my opinion.

"The irony of pop punk is that punk rock was originally anti-mainstream. Pop punk is exactly the same as pop rock" This argument isn't valid. Pop punk takes influence from the sound of punk, not the beliefs. And pop punk is a pop subgenre, not a punk one.
