Wussy punk
rock. A style of punk that blends pop melodies with humorous and often offensive lyrics.
• It's the epitome of the mainstream
pop punk popularized by Blink-182. Many punk
rock devotees criticize the music and lyrics as soft and non-confrontational (socially and politically), and thus unbefitting of the punk label, despite it's provacative nature.
• The term was coined by
Nate Olson in the early 2000s to describe his band, Straight Outta Junior High. Local media adopted the term and helped popularize it's usage with the emergence of cyberculture.
