Bands like this played a large part in influencing Music/GreenDay, who premiered at 924 Gilman Street, Oakland, a renowned all ages venue, and went on to break the genre into the mainstream with their signature album ''Music/{{Dookie}}''. Later on, Music/Blink182's push into modern rock superstars with ''Enema of the State'' would further cement the genre's mainstream success, with their ultra-glossy production style and sugary-sweet melodies being widely imitated by the artists who came after. After the mainstream success of Pop Punk, certain parts of the punk subculture started applying a "[[NoTrueScotsman Pop Punk, not Punk]]" mentality to the genre, claiming that putting the style of music for sale was an anti-punk action and therefore not "true" punk, a mentality that would become especially pronounced after the release of ''Enema of the State''.
