Pop Punk 

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.

Pop punk 

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'

snuff the punk

Punk, meaning the devil, and when you snuff it, your killing it or destroying it out of your life. The Devil is the Father of Lies and he wants to win. But God is winning the most. Surround yourselves with God and stay positive.
"Snuff The Punk" by P.O.D.

Snuff the punk
I'm gettin' tired of you chump
Bass in your face
You'll get a taste fo the P.O.D. funk
When I say punk or chump I don't mean you
Talkin' 'bout the devil and his crew
Listen
You came to rob and steal from the helpless
Warriors in Christ we stand up for the defenseless
So can you get with this, then please step to this
And if you say yes, sign the P.O.D. checklist
This is a spiritual war, we take no prisoners
Live a life of sin, you don't know what you're getting into
You picked a winner, love the sinner, hate the sin dude
We got a plan, understand, here's what we're gonna do
Snuff the punk, snuff the punk
Snuff 'em, snuff 'em
Snuff the punk, snuff the punk

Snuff the punk, snuff the punk
Snuff 'em, snuff 'em
Snuff the punk, snuff the punk

P.O.D. hit me one more time for those that don't be known
Merrily, merrily, merrily, down the streams is how I'm flowin'
Keep goin' don't stop, all props to my pops
P.O.D. the gospel, the gospel, that rocks
Rock you, we did it, I think it's time to quit it
And when my king is speaking, yo you better take a seat kid
The shield of God ain't nothin' gonna hurt me
And like too ruff, we're gettin' down and dirty
I told you once before homie, this is the real deal
No time to win your soul, it's too late, we gotta steal it
Blinded by ignorance, use some common sense
It's too close to the end to be walking on the fence
Rough so tough, God challenged my bluff "G"
I thank the Lord the day he snuffed a punk like me

Snuff the punk, P.O.D. snuff the punk
Snuff the punk, P.O.D. snuff the punk
Snuff the punk, P.O.D. snuff the punk
Snuff the punk, P.O.D. snuff the punk

Champagne Punk 

Any punk or hxc kid that comes from a rich background.

Some of them make up for it in ways, like getting away from living off of their parents money.

The majority, however, are much like Trustafarians (trust fund kids in the hippie scene) in that they rub shoulders with subculture that is less than affluent while having no real world problems themselves because they have infinite money via parents.

Some members of bands in the punk and hxc scene are champagne punks.

These people are fakes. If they are male they usually are womanizers and phony tough.

Champagne Punk is a play off of the phrase "champagne socialist," which is used to describe people who espouse the tenets of socialism while not living them. (if you are a socialist and rich you aren't sharing your money with everyone around you, you are just saying others should while you keep living the lifestyle of a capitalist)
"How does Joe afford to have an iphone without a job?"
"His parents pay all of his bills. He's a champagne punk."

"It must be nice to be able to go on tour and not worry about the future because your parents support your ass."
"Oh, to be a champagne punk."

Pop punk 

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.
Person 1: Did you see that girl?

Person 2: yeah man, she's so pop punk!
