Okay. There are two definitions for pop punk.
a. The TRUE pop punk, which is punk music with pop hooks. Oftentimes this music will talk about girls, love, etc. because thos things are IMPORTANT to the lyricist at the time. Anyone who says that talking about love isn't punk because "no real punk rockers do" means that you are CONFORMING to what youv'e been told is punk. Now, now, we wouldn't want that, would we, Mr. Self-Declared-Anti-Conformist?
Here, you might be saying,"What a hypocrite. You are telling me right now what the definition of pop punk is, so why can't i be told the definition of punk?"
You see, the reason I am posting the definition of pop punk is because this is a DICTIONARY, and that's what they are for. I'm not trying to impose my beliefs on you, I'm trying to make this site a reliable reference for anyone who would like to know what pop punk is widely accepted as meaning.
Okay. Rant is over.
b. According to MTV and Top 40 radio, pop punk is bad pop music played by people that dress like mall punks. This isn't true, but it's widely accepted, so this is here for reference.

If you were to ask an average teenage girl who listens to pop punk WHY she likes certain pop punk bands, the answer you'll most likely get is that she thinks the guys in the band are "hot."
Seriously. When was the last time you heard a girl say she liked Fall Out Boy without also saying that "Pete Wentz is liek omfg SOO HAWT!!1!"? It's the same with bands like Green Day, My Chemical Romance, or any others that are popular right now.
If the bands' fans would learn to appreciate them for their musical talent rather than their members' looks, then maybe there wouldn't be so many idiots making the band look like a bunch of terrible no-talent sellouts (or, in fact, actually MAKING them terrible no-talent sellouts).

Street punk is a term used to define the genre of music. Street punk is usually loud, fast and offensive. street punks usually dress in bondage apparel,(bondage pants, belts and jackets)leather jackets painted bright colors or with band logos or phrases with spikes and studs, denim jackets(acid washed or not)adorned with spikes, studs, patches, pins, band shirts, tight or not, usually with the sleeves cut off. Many people look at these kids and they see criminals, and thugs. Though, if you get to befriend and get to know some street punks, they are fun and usually easy to get along with. Among many vices, alcohol is a big one. Street punks are usually mocked by crusty kids, hardcore kids, and emoes. Though, they usually fight back, because street punks don't take shit from anybody. Despite common belief, street punks aren't idiots. They are the kids of the street. Street punk is the place where they feel like they belong, usually because they feel like they are not part of mainstream society.
examples of street punk is the early Oi! movement. This movement was started because most kids were sick of the popular punk like the Sex Pistols(which all the rich kids loved, and made their trend). These kids felt alienated from mainstream society.

Little snot kids that try to touch you with dirty hands. Especially heinous are those punks that have just eaten popsicle sticks, their own snot, or are just plain the most punk kids on the planet.
"I'm a little punk with dirty hands coming over to touch your shirt that you just washed"
"Alright, get away you punk"
"Alright, get away you punk"
