| 14 | Pop punk is {{Punk Rock}} at its most accessible. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | Perhaps the [[UrExample first ever]] pop punk band were the Music/{{Ramones}}, who melded the simplicity of rock'n'roll with breakneck speed, but maintained enough pop sensibilities to achieve great acclaim and cult status. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | Other bands, namely the Music/{{Descendents}}, played a significant part in the influence of bands in Southern California who made up the [[TheNineties '90s]] punk revival, such as Music/BadReligion, Music/{{Pennywise}}, Music/{{NOFX}}, Music/TheOffspring, and Music/{{Rancid}}. Many of these bands were also part of a subgenre called '''skate punk''', which combined pop punk melodies with the speed of HardcorePunk (having started out as a straight up hardcore subgenre) and [[ThrashMetal thrash]]/[[SurfRock surf]] inspired riffs, and as the name suggests were associated with skateboarding subculture. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | 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 in 1994 with their seminal 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 modern pop songwriting being [[FollowTheLeader 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''. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | During the mid-2000s, pop punk largely supplanted the late '90s-to-early '00s BoyBand craze. Young female listeners flocked to pop punk bands for [[MrFanservice largely the]] [[PrettyBoy same reasons]] why they were into boy bands. They weren't without detractors, but since they were formed organically, not by a label, and actually wrote their own songs and played their own instruments, they had much more artistic credibility than boy bands ever did, and were ''much'' more appealing to males.[[note]]There was also "neon pop punk" (or just "neon pop" if you prefer), as exemplified by bands like Cute Is What We Aim For and early All Time Low, which had even poppier sensibilities and "girl-crazy" lyrics and thus could be considered to have taken the BoyBand aspect up a notch.[[/note]] |
| 23 | |
| 24 | In the 2010s, pop punk had passed its peak in terms of commercial success, though was still fairly active in the underground. Pop punk acts such as Man Overboard are insistent that the genre is required to be defended at all times, mainly from jerky {{hipster}}s and elitist hardcore punkers, as part of a larger scene termed DefendPopPunk, incorporating elements of melodic hardcore and emo. "Easycore" is another development that fuses the genre with melodic hardcore and metalcore; the genre was largely created by A Day to Remember and Chunk! No, Captain Chunk!, and while the former has since grown into a major act, the easycore genre itself largely fizzled out by the mid-2010s, with only I Prevail finding anywhere close to the success of A Day to Remember. In TheNewTwenties, however, a significant revival movement cropped up through social media platforms such as Platform/{{TikTok}}, and artists such as Music/MachineGunKelly and Music/OliviaRodrigo started incorporating pop punk into their music. |
| 25 | |
| 26 | In order to dodge the classification, many pop punk bands claim to be "PowerPop" instead. [[BlatantLies Don't believe them.]] There is also some overlap with the [[EmoMusic emo]] genre, which combines elements of this with PostHardcore and emotional, relationship-oriented lyrics, although many bands are resistant to the label due to the internet giving it negative connotations. Form your own opinions on whether a band is emo or not -- it really doesn't matter in the long run. |

| 28 | ''The Sundae'' has divided pop-punk into [[https://thesundae.net/2022/04/24/seven-ages-of-pop-punk/ seven ages]]: The Blueprint (0-1993 - melodic punk like the Music/{{Ramones}}, Music/{{Buzzcocks}}); The Big Bang (1994-1999 - formative music like Music/{{Weezer}}, Music/GreenDay); [=Y2K=] (2000-2003 - ''TRL''-bait commercial punk like Music/Blink182, Music/Sum41); the Emo era (2004-2008 - post-''American Idiot'' conceptual fare like Music/PanicAtTheDisco, Music/MyChemicalRomance); the New Administration/Retreat (2009-2012 - a last hurrah for the style, Music/{{Paramore}}, Music/TheWonderYears); "Pop Punk Is Over" (2013-2018 - existing bands diversify from the style) and the Pop-Punk Revival (2019-present - Millennial/Zoomer pastiche of the genre, Music/OliviaRodrigo, Music/MachineGunKelly). |
