Get the Punk mug.Pop-punk is a genre of music deriving from punk and pop. There. It can be explained just like that.
You want more details?
Fine. You're the consumer, I'm the producer.
It was developed in America and Britain during the late 1970s and is characterized by fast, energetic tempos, emphasis on classic pop structures, and adolescent and anti-suburbia themes. During that time, you had bands like the Ramones, the Undertones, and the Buzzcocks setting the groundwork for the genre.
Then came the 1980s, where you had punk bands like Bad Religion, Descendants, and the Misfits (while not necessarily pop-punk in and of themselves, they were very influential to the genre) causing the genre to expand in the late '80s and early '90s.
Throughout the years, pop-punk has evolved, bringing in subgenres such as easycore (Set Your Goals), neon pop-punk (Let's Get It), emo pop (All Time Low), emo rap (Juice WRLD), and just emo in itself, and especially blew up in the 2000s with bands like My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, early Panic! at the Disco, Paramore, post-Enema blink-182, Sum 41, Good Charlotte, Simple Plan, and even solo artists such as Yungblud and the hypocritical Avril Lavigne.
I mean, hey, you can literally do anything with music. It's considered art for a reason!
NOTE: Some artists are more on the pop side (Avril Lavigne), some are more on the punk side (Set Your Goals, again), and some like to balance it out (Olivia Rodrigo?).
NOTE 2: i shit my pants

Not all is sunshine and rainbows with pop-punk. Much like literally anything in this bizarre fucking world, it is never safe from criticism. Especially on here, where you have users such as Super Tips going on and off about the genre, along with Michael and Janet Jackson. One thing I can agree with them is in regards to the Jonas Brothers. We shall never consider them rock. EVER.
But, hey, pop-punk isn't all that bad, it's really catchy once you begin to listen to the instrumentals with your ears and not your eyes!

Get the pop-punk mug.A crew in North County San Diego that consists of cowards named Peeping Ethan, Peeping Dan, Peeping Christopher, Peeping Mark, to name a few that stalk you, terrorize you, and follow you everywhere claiming they are untouchable. They don't respect anyone's privacy, They are the biggest posers ever due to the fact they want you to believe they know everyone you do, and try and convince you that those people are all talking shit about you so you will get in fights with your friends and family as well as claiming to be anyone that would make you become their bitch so they can just command you around to do crazy shit so they can sit back and watch your social life go downhill for their own entertainment. Truly they really are just a bunch of worthless losers with nothing else to do to but talk shit to you from afar. The are such cowards that they wont even talk shit to your face. They fly drones with FLIR and peeping tom technology. They have no interest in anything other than creeping on people and causing chaos in peoples lives for their own sick pleasure. Completing their sick personalities are narcissism, sociopath behavior, and paranoid schizophrenic tendencies.
Me: I cant even take a shit or shower without the Peeping Punk Bitch Coward Crew stalking and peeping on me, what should I do?
You: Don't worry they will eventually screw themselves over and get caught cause they are so reckless due to the fact they think they are untouchable.

Get the Peeping Punk Bitch Coward Crew mug.Pre-Sid Vicious, pre-any stringy young male, "Punk" referred to the passive or "bottom" partner in a male-on-male or femal-on-male prison sexual relationship. (The dominant or "top" man/woman was called the "jock, jocker" or “jockes”) Since the punk was usually the scrawnier and younger of the two, that meaning of the term escaped into the general culture and eventually became attached to young, rebellious men fronting kick-ass rock bands.
“Oh her? Yea she’s the punk in this conversation”
