Pussy sellout punk imitators, who stole half the clothing style and made crappy music and called it "punk". Nothing but whiny wannabe hypocrite weaklings, most of which with no music talent. See poser.

Complete garbage. Your time would be much better spent listening to music from the seventies or eighties, or to ska punk.
Pop punk 13-year-old: I'm so punk rock. You posers don't understand me or my generic brand of corprate-controlled music.
Some kid: ...Dude, its poseur. And have you ever even heard of The Clash?
Pop punk 13-year-old: What was that about Green Day?
Some kids: ......*FACE*

An oxymoron, said to be non-existant by "hardcore punks." A easier to handle version of the genre punk.

A very good music genre or subgenre. Instrumentals sound like a watered down punk, vocals sound somewhat like pop. People who listen to this do NOT shop at Hot Topic as assumed by many. People who listen who listen to this dress either white ghetto, preppy, sporty, or just jeans and a shirt. Sadly the famous Pop Punkers try to look punk :(
This music is not listened to by weird, dressed in all black, rejected, suicidal FREAKS. Although those freaks often tend to make fun of and bash Pop-Punk, all I have to say to them is get a life and stop slitting your wrists. The only reason Pop-Punkers "sellout" to MTV is because they arent afraid to show their faces on mtv, because unlike real punks they are not freaks.

Examples of really awesome Pop-Punk bands: blink-182, Sum 41
pretty good Pop-Punk bands: yellowcard, simple plan, good charlotte, new found glory
btw Millencolin (skatepunk) and Green Day (punk) and offspring (punk) are really awesome too.

A term that many people misuse, as they confuse it with 'popular punk'. Pop punk is punk with poppy hooks, while popular punk is, as the name indicates, popular, and a very watered down version of punk.

Lagwagon
Bad Religion
Pennywise
88 Fingers Louie
