i.e. wearing the clothes or singing a vague version of the music without actually understanding, or living it.
3.)A musical genre including the main musical groove to Punk Rock but containing lyrical content typical of a generic Pop song, esp. love songs.

Ok Lets keep this simple. I bet many of you people are confuse. Pop-punk is just punk but in a softer and more way of understanding what the lyrics is. Most of the time it doesnt contain any political lyric or agression. Its mostly based on love. Obiously the music is a lot different from actual punk. 3 strings guitar for punk. Vocalist goes way fast u may not even understand it. While pop punk is basically pop with a little influence of punk. Most pop-punk bands sell out to the media or ***sound poppy*** because many people like the tune..........I could understand if u like it because its easier to understand. Punk is still more intelligent more and more conterversial. Awesome lyrics knowing whats going on in today's society. Usually kids who tend to like pop-punk are more trendy and fashinable with patches everywhere on some fabric. No you dont need to be wearing different type of clothing in order to be what you are.
Punk- The Partisans, Global Threat, GBH, The Unseen, Anti Flag, Black Flag,Rancid(ska-punk), Operation Ivy(same as Rancid)e.t.c.

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*

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.
