Pop punk is best described as pure, unadulterated crap. Thats right, nothing good makes its way into this music. You will know that you are listening to pop punk when you have the sudden urge to kill yourself. The bands who play the music usually know 3 chords on their respective instruments, plus someone bangs on a single snare drum. The most common characteristic of a pop punk fan is a large cleft centered on the face, surrounded with short, curly hair and a tiny, sensitive bud located within a few folds of skin, in the upper portion. The color of the hair usually matches the eyebrows. A pop punk fan also has no tolerance for good bands, and will commonly say such uneducated statements like "The Beatles suck, man, put on some Guster, rock on, derrrrrrr". You may substitute "The Beatles" for any classic/90's rock band. To form a band name for your own pop punk band, pick an obscure word out of Webster's, and then follow it with a dash and a random number of 3 digits or less.
St. Peter: Why do you think you deserve to be in heaven son? After all, suicide is a mortal sin.
You: Well, Pete, I accidentally heard a pop punk song...
St. Peter: Say no more, my son. Welcome to heaven, and you won't have to hear that shit here. Would you like your complimentary Led Zep album now, or later?

Boy bands with electric instruments. People who listen to Pop Punk have never heard real punk bands like The Offspring, or Green Day. Wait a second. They have heard of both bands, unfortuanately both bands have sold out to this disgrace. Darn it all.
BTW, How the hell did Avril Lavigne fall under Punk.

Pop Punk Fan: I went to a B182 concert. I'm so punk.
Me: No you're not. I bet you have never heard of great bands like The Offspring or Green Day.
Pop Punk Fan: Yes I have, I just bought American Idiot.
Me: Oh wait, I forgot. Both bands suck now. I hate idiots who think that pop has a place in punk.

Not all people who listen to it only listen to it because they think it makes them "cool" they listen to it because they like how it sounds.
So F you people, they arent all stupid posers. And they don't all think they're hardcore.

Examples:
- Blink 182 (their old stuff is punk, everything from their first album onwards is crap)
- New Found Glory
- Good Charlotte
- Simple Plan
- All-American Rejects
among many others.
People call bands like these "pop punk", when in reality, they're mostly just pop with a very slight punk-like sound.
Also, some would call Avril Lavigne pop punk, when in reality, she doesn't even remotely sound like punk at all. She does, however, "dress punk", to the annoyance of those who do listen to punk.

True "pop punk" is actually punk with a slightly softer sound and more melody, such as Millencolin, Dillinger Four, etc, NOT Blink 182...
