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-punkmug. Punk Rock is essentially any fast rock band that is made by someone who wants to form their own band to make what they want without being controlled by record companies, most of these hate authority but sometimes a punk band may even have nothing to do with politics at all.
Once they sign to record companies that means they become rockstars or they "Sellout" and aren't considered a punk band anymore.
Even if the subculture isn't big punk rock will always exist so long as you got Guitar, Bass and Drums.

Get the Punk Jackmug. A style of rock music, like grunge, but without the jazz elements. Grunge, like a mixture of hard rock and heavy metal, lighter than metal, but harder than rock. Let's refer to rock as a blend of R&B/Funk Blues, Jazz, Country.
That means grunge is a blend of R&B, Jazz, Country, Metal. So, Punk Rock just means Non-Jazz Grunge so a blend of R&B, Jazz and Metal. Rock is a mixture of R&B, Jazz and Country. Apart frrom the music style, Punk Rock wears generally leather or jean jacket and stuff with holes. Rock generally wears also jackets but shoes and trousers have no holes.
