1)An oxymoronic term in the fact that punk is the essence of individuality and seperation from society, whereas pop is the celebration of society's standards of fashion and higherarchy.
2)A term often applied to alternative or "bubble gum" rock bands that play repetitive riffs and wear items like studded belts and wristbands.

Pop punk: A species located throughout North America. Can be found indoors, for they avoid the sun. You'll often find them in FYE or hot topic, and can be lured in if you throw a flower crown towards them. Their appearances consist of pale skin and pastel hair colors. A creepy black line lines their eyelid, usually thick and uneven. They avoid human contact and often speak dark works that are incomprehensible for the non pop punk species. Beware, they avoid species of the BASIC kind.

DOESN'T EXIST!!!! Punk is a form of music AGAINST mainstream music. Its a paradox. Only MTV poseurs think this is real punk.
MTV Poseur: FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOOD CHARLOTTE IS FUCKING PUNK!!!!!!!
Me: No, they are pop music. Have you even heard of real punk bands? Like Black Flag, Minor Threat, Aus-rotten, Filth, The Meat Puppets, Napalm Death, or Amebix?
MTV Posuer: LIKE FUCK YOU LOSER! YOU LISTEN TO SHITTY BANDS WHO ARE PUSSY PUNK!!!! YOU DIDN'T EVEN MENTION SIMPLE PLAN AND THE BEST PUNK ROCKER EVER, AVRIL LAVIGNE!!!!
Me: You are a sad little fool, you believe pop punk is real and now I must euthanize you.

A Pretty good type of music that most "Real" punks look down upon just because it doesent live up to Punks standards. And yes, I agree with them. Most pop punk is a pile of shit. But there is alot of really good Pop Punk out there that is Loud, fast, fun and rebelious. But it is basicly just a more melodic and catchier type of punk rock.
Good Pop Punk: Descendents, NOFX, (old) Green Day, Lagwagon, Screeching Weasal, (Old) Blink 182, Ramones, The Offspring, (Old) Mxpx, Rancid, The Buzzcocks, The Sidekicks, etc
Bull Shit Pop punk: Simple Plan, Paramore, Fall out boy, We the Kings, Boys like Girls, (New) Blink 182, New found glory, good charlotte, Avril Lavigne, Sum 41, etc
