pop-punk

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!

Markos Pop

A Markos Pop is a catch-all term. It can be everything, yet nothing at all. While it can be applied generally, there is a percise meaning of the word. That true meaning is wildely disputed and unknown. There are only a select few that can name its true meaning.

The word has come to popularity in many online methods, such as the Valorant and Rainbow Six Siege communities.
Jin: "Shawn, you need to help me out by Wednesday or else you have to take my Markos Pop."

Jin: "LOL! That is such a Markos Pop moment, Shawn!"

hip pop

According to Wikipedia, hip pop is a synonyme for pop rap.

And honestly, that is actually true.

Yeah, like many of us said, it's what killed true hip hop in the early 2000's.

(In)Famous artists:
Jay-Z (after his first three albums)
Nelly
Ludacris
Pitbull
Flo Rida

What I think:
No. I rather stick with real hip hop such as Common, Gang Starr,, Grandmaster Flash and the Sugarhill Gang.
And yes, you can say Grandmaster made a pop rap song with White Lines, but that is from a different era.
The new jack swing in the late 80's and early 90's from artists such Mack Morrison, Michael Jackson and En Vogue isn't pop rap either.
