The fusion of the terms "hair metal" and "punk."
It is used to describe a derivative form of punk rock music which utilizes glossy guitars, pounding reverberated drums, and polished high-range vocals. People who participate in hair punk usually wear hair as follows: spikey on top near the back, straight on the sides, and long side-swiped bangs. Hair punk musicians and followers also wear abnormally tight jeans or pants, and other clothing with bright colors, attempting to hark back to the days of David Bowie and The New York Dolls, when in fact, it appears to be a glossed-up watered-down version of pop punk and emo fashions.
Hair punk is culturally accepted and there are many people, primarily teenage "scene" girls, who support them. This success and acceptance is similar to that achieved by many hair metal bands in the 80's, such as Poison, Whitesnake, and Warrant (hence the term).

Hair punk is used to describe bands such as Forever The Sickest Kids, All Time Low, Blessthefall (although more so the style rather than the music), The Maine, Plain White T's, etc.

Get the hair punkmug. 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.

Get the pop punkmug. A genre of music defined where the musicians could give a shit about being famous and touring Zhakanagistan but would rather just play in the garage. Real Punk Rock is good. Don't confuse Punk Rock with "we won't to get noticed so we're going to call ourself but actually do the exact opposite of" punk. 17 year old boys who dye their hair pink, paint their nails black, and wear girls genes 2 sizes to small are not punk rock either. Anybody who seriously says something along the lines of "Thats so punk rock" definetley don't understand punk rock.

Freddaay: Hey Bryan what are you Listening to?
Bryan: I'm Listening to my favorite punk rock bands like Yellow Card, Linkin Park, Blink 182, Green Day, and My Chemical Romance.
(Wrong)
Freddaay: Hey Bryan what do you think of these cantalopes?
Bryan: They're so punk rock
(Right)
Fredday: Hey someone who isn't Bryan, who's you favorite punk rock band?
Someone who isn't Bryan, Let's go with Joe: Either The Sex Pistols or The Clash

Get the Punk Rockmug. CM Punk wasn't getting his own way backstage, so he took his ball and went home like a little bitch.

Get the CM Punkmug. You know... that one guy who's always talking about lazy motherfuckers when he is actually one as well. He wants no law to restrain him from building a motor in his garage and importing phillipino hookers. He says that ron paul should be elected so that we can revert back to a barter system where only real men can survive and reproduce. He read atlas shrugged and was inspired enough to quit his job at mcdonalds to start a band called rand flag. Everything he has accomplished has been by himself, at least that's what his father taught him (used car salesman). You know.... that one guy who stands alone with every original idea we've ever heard.
Hey bill get out of the garage!
Conservative punk: Fuck no man! I'm gonna build the world!!! Get outta here with your socialist propaganda and your buttfuckingly horrendous authority over me!
Hey bill! You just need a hug!!
