Style of music that employs rock and roll/punk elements and an emotional undertone in its songs. Basically combines Beatle song content/jangly guitars with Johnny Thunders-esque pace and riffs.
Powerpop reached its creative peak during the late 1970's & early 1980's. Regardless of what psuedo-scene girls say...it has nothing to do with hellogoodye and everything to do with 20/20, The Knack, The Raspberries, The Nerves, etc.

Hellogoodybe IS NOT powerpop...but the Nerves are.

A high-energy form of music. It makes you want to start dancing, but includes real instruments, meaning, and all of the general emo-essentials. Followed closely by over-preppy girls and anybody scene.

Becka: NO!! Head Automatica Currently Owns My Stereo. Powerpop is Love.
Karrie: Chyeah!
