There's a bunch of idiots on here that are shutting all over pop punk, blah blah blah it's an oxymoron we get it, pop punk is basically what the name is, a catcheir, happier, more melodic and sort of poppy version of punk music. The older sort of pop punk bands are Green Day, Blink 182 etc, newer bands include Neck Deep, The Story So Far, State Champs, WSTR, Northbound, ROAM, Columbus etc
Pop punk music has also (unfortunately) merged with the emo music genre, giving us bands such as all time low, my chemical romance and fall out boy. These bands aren't necessarily bad, they just have a large amount of emo kids supporting them, making the crowds and social media fantasies a tad irritating. (Plus, a few of these bands, ATL, FOB, have opted for a lot more of a poppy mainstream sound, making them a lot more pop than punk)

'I'm so excited for Reading Festival this year, there's so many pop punk bands playing'
'Hey dude, you should check out Trash Boat, they're really good. Angsty pop punk plus they're touring soon'

A fusion genre of pop and punk rock music, combining elements from the genre to create softer subjects of music while keeping the loud and anarchy-inspired noise of the punk rock. Before the 21st Century, it was quite unpopular and unknown to most, but has recently been given more notice by the rise of Warped Tour type bands such as All Time Low and The Wonder Years. Bands such as Green Day and blink-182 helped to popularize this genre and maybe even create it themselves. Pop Punk of this decade, however has been sounding more terrible as it is progressing with the horrible Warped Tour bands mentioned above, as they're turning it into a contradiction, since punk is anti-mainstream and pop is the definition of mainstream music.
Scene Teen: Hayy girl did you hear ATL's new song?
Scene Teen 2: omg yasss I loved it!!
True Punkrocker: If you're gonna listen to pop punk at least don't listen to the shitty type.

To be pop punk you have to be chill as frick.
You listen to real friends, wonder years, man overboard, being as an ocean, title fight, brand new, neck deep, la dispute, etc.
Most pop punk people say "stay posi" and eat pizza.

An oxymoron. Pop music and punk music are complete opposites, making the term "pop punk" a worthless gimmick of a musical genre.

Skinny, nicely shaped legs that usually resemble the legs of a frontman of a Pop Punk band, hence the term "Pop Punk legs". Usually the person wears Shorts/Skinny jeans with Vans, Converse, Toms, etc.
Me: "Hey you have really Pop Punk legs!"
Random guy: "Uh... Thanks?"
Me: "They're just skinny and nicely shaped,"
