What all punk bands who do not want to end their career will eventually evolve into. It is slower and slightly softer than punk but still keeps the word " punk " in the name of the genre for some reason. Most of the songs in recent Green Day and Blink 182 albums are pop-punk.
This is an unfortunate failure that truly has killed punk.

not to be cofused with pop rock with a punk influance, blink 182, good charlotte ect. pop-punk is simply punk rock with more of a melodic pop sound, like bad religion or the bouncing souls
bad religion are the grand-dads of pop-punk

Contrary to popular belief, pop-punk is not neccesarily shit like Good Charlotte. It is actually a more medolic punk. Think The Descendants, Bouncing Souls, Screeching Weasels, yes, even The Ramones.
Although, someone using the word is probabbly referring to shit bands like Good Charlotte, Newfoundglory and Brand New.

*Also not to be confused with the similiar yet SLIGHTLY less bad "skate-punk" (nofx, goldfinger, rancid)

Not considered to be Punk music. Punk died, but lives on in music that claims only to be rock ‘n’ roll plain and simple and straight from the garage. Punk exists now only in spirit and is not something you can purchase at Hot Topic.
Among Christian lore there is supposed to be a Christ, and then in various sects of Christianity there is the Anti-Christ. Well in this case…
Punk = Christ
Pop-Punk = Anti-Christ
Oh, and Rancid is not Punk just because Tim Armstrong had a Mohawk.

I blame the Descendants for the lame format later to be established as the current template for pop-punk artists’ success.

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