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!

A subgenre of egg punk that is filled with references to the Italian cartoon series "Calimero". Picture a punkier version of Devo, but with eggshell helmets instead of energy domes and the overall attitude and behaviour of the cute black Italian chick.
Customer: Do you have any egg punk albums?
Record store cashier: Indeed, we do.
Customer: Do you have any Calimero punk albums?
Record store cashier: I don't think a genre like that exists.

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.

E-Punk is a new-wave genre of punk, the bands are usually individuals with something on their mind. The music has an infectious and melodic beat, with fuzzy or distorted vocals. The songs are usually statements on what it's like living in the modern age, and the issues that go along with it. It preaches individuality, self reliance, and emotional awareness. The artists are known for being edgy, flawed and relatable to anyone raised on the internet. The most popular and pillar of the E-Punk Genre is none other than shooter himself (negative xp) however the sound is spreading like wildfire with tons of new artists coming out of the woodworks to show what they can bring to the table. It is a beautiful, angry, sad, loud, melodic and extremely indie form of punk that should be welcomed to the scene with open arms. What screams individuality like making your own music, by yourself, with no labels, and saying whatever the fuck you want?
"I love E-Punk, Crust Sox is my favorite artist, but Negative XP is also really good."
"Shut up you whiney incel virgin! How about you listen to some real punk like Lil Peep!"
