Pop punk is a subgenre of punk played simplistically, but with good melodies. Lyrics have catchy hooks and are usually about love, alienaton, feeling insecure, or whatever the hell random thing the writer wants (Da Stike by Millencolin is about bowling).
Unfortunately, the genre is being ruined by MTV who are telling 14 year old girls that anyone who wears black and has emo-hair is punk. All of these bands are just posers who play watered down versions of the genre for personal gain.
Real pop punk is real punk. In fact, in a way, is more punk than many others because they don't try too hard to be punk. Good pop punk bands will write songs that are the antidote for heartache. Bad pop punk bands make heartache even worse (see emo)

Pop punk: Millencolin (personal fave), Screeching Weasel, Descendants, NOFX, Lagwagon, Rancid, Buzzcocks, Ramones, Blink 182 (Dude Ranch), Green Day (Kerplunk-Nimrod)
Not punk: Good Charlotte, Simple Plan, Fall Out Boy, Yellowcard, All American Rejects, Sum 41 (even though I'll admit I like a couple of their songs)
Really really really really not pop punk: Avril Lavigne

I'm very dissatisfied with these definitions. All these definitions are either extremely racist (and I live in West Virginia so thats saying something)or are talking about basketball sucking in general.
Now I must say, I do have a general disdain for the NBA, but its not because I don't like basketball. I FRIGGIN LOVE BASKETBALL!!! I am glued to my TV all winter watching NCAA hoops. When I do watch NBA I can't help but shake my head (its not because they're all black, there are still a lot of white guys, many of them are European). It's not real basketball, here's why
1. Minimal team play. Most of the "superstars" are only out to make a name for themselves
2. NO effort on defense.
3. Artificial rules to make higher scoring games (24 second shot clock, defensive 3 seconds, that retarded circle under the basket where you can't take a charge, etc)
The NBA sucks. As soon as a player enters the draft, I stop caring about them. Calling the NBA real basketball is like calling Fall Out Boy real punk

Person 1: Who won the Lakers Spurs game last night
Me: Who the fuck cares
Person 1: I thought you liked basketball
Me: That's why I watched the Duke UNC game instead of that NBA crap
