not to be cofused with pop rock with a punk influance, blink 182, good charlotte ect. pop-punk is simply punk rock with more of a melodic pop sound, like bad religion or the bouncing souls
bad religion are the grand-dads of pop-punk

Contrary to popular belief, pop-punk is not neccesarily shit like Good Charlotte. It is actually a more medolic punk. Think The Descendants, Bouncing Souls, Screeching Weasels, yes, even The Ramones.
Although, someone using the word is probabbly referring to shit bands like Good Charlotte, Newfoundglory and Brand New.

*Also not to be confused with the similiar yet SLIGHTLY less bad "skate-punk" (nofx, goldfinger, rancid)

Not considered to be Punk music. Punk died, but lives on in music that claims only to be rock ‘n’ roll plain and simple and straight from the garage. Punk exists now only in spirit and is not something you can purchase at Hot Topic.
Among Christian lore there is supposed to be a Christ, and then in various sects of Christianity there is the Anti-Christ. Well in this case…
Punk = Christ
Pop-Punk = Anti-Christ
Oh, and Rancid is not Punk just because Tim Armstrong had a Mohawk.

I blame the Descendants for the lame format later to be established as the current template for pop-punk artists’ success.

Pop: fads that are popular or mainstream, including music.
Punk: an movement of people and fads that go against what is popular and mainstream.
Pop-punk: stupid not-tallented bands like good charlotte and blink. they sound punky, but are corprate sell outs and therefore CANNOT by definition be punk at all. The entire point of punk is to be reafreshingly defferent from the mainstream of pop. So you can't mix them.

A big Oxymoron really its just an excuse for sad bands that think there punk whereas in reality there just rock emo or some other genre the people associated with it are people all over MTV and the Radio but the saddest thing of all is im 13 and there about 18-40 and i have a better understanding of punk than them.
NOTE: these are mainly my opinions on 'pop/punk' you dont have to agree but dont you dare go round saying that the bands bellow are punk oh and i dont think Bands like NOFX Rancid Bad religion are Pop/punk there just toned down punk in my eyes
