Someone who doesn’t give a fuck about what others think
Not specifically about the music or the style, but some posers will make fun of punks for being open about their political views and not wearing ”punk” clothing or listening to “punk” music
You’re not necessarily a poser if you’re not open about your views, and you’re just punk for the music and style, but if you go around telling other punks they’re a poser you don’t view something as punk, you are a poser.
You don’t need spiky hair
You don’t need dyed hair
You don’t need to be open about your political views
You don’t need to like “punk” music
Etc
(Tbh other people definitely have better definitions than me on this, but this just gives a small definition for it)
Also last thing, back to political views, punks are mostly leftists (pro-choice, feminism/womanism, blm, acab, eat the rich, etc) but not all punks will have the same political views, and you have to respect that
(I am personally leftists. Useless information, ik)

Poser: dude you aren’t punk if you only have political patches
Anybody else: what do you mean?
Poser: you can’t just have political patches, you need band patches of real punk music bands. They’re just TikTok alt
Anybody else: that’s not true, being punk doesn’t just have to do with the music and style
Poser: whatever, fuck off.

Get the Punk mug.Look at that punk

Get the Punk mug.Punk is a slang term used in prison to describe homosexuals. Typically in prison you wouldn't say "That guy over in 5 cell is gay" you'd say "The guy in 5 cell is a punk".
Usually during intake CO's will ask you questions about gang affiliation, sexual identity, suicidal thoughts etc and separate you in to tanks, pods, or dorms where they think there will be the fewest incidents because of your status. As a result they will put homosexual people together and the dorms they're housed in are called "punk tanks"

Get the Punk mug.Calimero punk or Cali-punk is a fake subgenre of the Devo inspired genre of punk rock called "egg punk" mixed with the references and attitude of the Italian cartoon series "Calimero", whom the titular character wears an eggshell for a hat. Hence the name of the genre.

Get the Calimero 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!
