Used to be Something Corporate. What do you guys classify Pop punk?

[MIKEY_HORROR]

the Movielife...F.O.B....Cherry Monroe...Wake Hollywood....

[KyleisPopPunk]

Wake Hollywood Shout out. they are very good

[KyleisPopPunk]

lol i just checked them out.

[MIKEY_HORROR]

Wake Hollywood Shout out. they are very good


haha .. thanks man...those are my boys,

[takingbackrufio]

I won't mince words -- there is so much better "pop punk" out there than GC.

With that being said, my favourite is New Found Glory.

Abe Froman. Or Operation: Cliff Clavin. or Fifteen. or Crimpshrine. or The Broadways. or The Lillingtons.

[danielineffigy]

Eve 6 and Third Eye Blind all the way!

But seriously, would you call those pop-punk?

[MIKEY_HORROR]

i dont know what they would be called...i've always considered them alternative...but they have pop/punk elements..i dont know..i dont understand the whole "grouping" of bands

[pinklipgloss]

Descendents

[gcmaniac]

new found glory. fall out boy. blink 182. the ataris. good charlotte...sometimes.

[cfear]

I don't think half of the bands mentioned are pop-punk. Just because some people say that Good Charlotte and Fall Out Boy are pop-punk doesn't mean they are. They aren't really related to any pop-punk bands. I wouldn't classify them as anything other than alternative rock (alternative not in the sense of Creed, but more like an alternative to traditional rock).

[kshtoinks12]

Absolutely GC, absolutely.

[kshtoinks12]

good charlotte...sometimes.Says gcmanic.

yes. i love the descendents.

I'd say NUFAN were always pop-punk. I consider a lot of stuff pop-punk though.

mmmm "last stop suburbia." i love that album. they were one of the first bands, along with Midtown, that got me into this scene.

[KyleisPopPunk]

lol, O love how someone on my thread said that GC and the othe half bands wern't pop-punk. Pop-punk is taking from two genre's of music. Alt Rock, and punk. The Pop Can stand for two things, Popular, Or the genre pop. It depends on how you look at it. Some say that POp stands for popular in music. i would agree in some terms. GC is a pop-punk band, so is NfG, Blink. Thise bands and Green day are the (and some others) ARE pop-punk. It all started with the Ramones. The only band lebelled here is underoath. Mabye FAll Out Boy. But F.O.B gets thier influence from the get up kids. Which WERE a EMOTION POP-PUNK band. So FOB can be classiefied in two genre of music. Take that to you Grave-------WHAT! (thats a fall out boy album, I just used ut as a insult though):-0

[brewsterbuffalo]

Generally the early-to-mid 90's stuff, like Screeching Weasel, The Queers, The Mr. T Experience, Jawbreaker... And some of the latter-day bands, like Latterman, The Methadones, The Connie Dungs/A Radio With Guts, and The Ergs, are pretty excellent, too.

And I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the Descendents or The Buzzcocks.

well you got me there my friend....you win

[KyleisPopPunk]

Im a Fan of The Buzzcocks. i dont know. I think i would (if i had too) classify those bands of more punk. I might picture earlier 90's like. Teh Get Up Kids, or Green Day. Well they wernt that earlier. For me im more of a fan of the later 90's.

[KyleisPopPunk]

my bad. the Descendents, are deff, one of my favs. I didn't read that part. They are a VERY good band, thumbs up

Green Day's "Dookie" is what got me into this kind of music. If not for them...my life wouldnt be what it is today...music wise.

[KyleisPopPunk]

lol, yeah smae here. that was the first CD i ever purchased

[brewsterbuffalo]

Im a Fan of The Buzzcocks. i dont know. I think i would (if i had too) classify those bands of more punk.

Well, when bands like Screeching Weasel were starting out, really the only type of punk still going strong was like the toughguy hardcore shit, and so the bands that started reviving the Ramones/Buzzcocks template and building their songs around catchy, sing-alongable melodies got branded as "pop-punk", and it stuck.

[JulieLynn]

lol, yeah smae here. that was the first CD i ever purchased

It was the first CD my father bought me, back in the 5th grade...1995...wow..seems like a million years ago...

If not for my dad, i wouldnt be a huge fan of this album

[KyleisPopPunk]

Ok, I dont think, I've ever lsiten to the Screeching Weasel. I will deff check them out though. I've heard of them, but i've never really listen to them.

[brewsterbuffalo]

They're an excellent pop-punk band. Their album My Brain Hurts is a masterpiece.

I feel so uncultured right now :-(

Yes there is. There's a correlation between when these bands started cropping up and when pop-punk started going to shit.

I will deny it. Something cannot be modern and be classic. Think about every time you have ever heard the word classic, or any of its conjugations/derivatives, used. How many times is it used to describe something new/modern? The only example I could think of would be a sentence that says, "So-and-so's new film is a classic example of such-and-such...," but when used there the word is used as a way to link something with a technique that has been deemed "classic" over time.

I would love to continue addressing this, but I have to run to Mass Communication & Society which I will follow up with Philosophy of Environmental Issues. It's gunna be a great day.

so do you have a small dick or something? cause that last paragraph really seems like compensation.

anyway, cock, a modern classic is a title that you give to something that you can easily see becoming a mainstay for a long time and probably becoming a classic in the future. of course, it doesnt have to become a classic nor is it definitely going to become one, but for now, we can see it becoming a classic in the future. there's your lesson for today... maybe i should run that Mass Communication & Society class, eh?

Will Fall Out Boy be considered a classic? Are they ever close to it now? The answer is no. They didn't do anything to innovate music. They have gotten popular, and remained popular, by doing things other people have already done. They are simply a band that is "in" now, but that hardly gives you, or anyone, the ability to say that they are a "classic" pop-punk band.

Pop-punk is a very expansive genre of music. It spans from The Ramones and Blondie to blink-182 and Green Day. I find it very hard to call any pop-punk band a classic. Most of the bands that could be considered "classics" are still very much around and functioning, so I try and refrain from thinking of them as anything other than great bands.

Also, if you think you can run that class then you should probably learn to use proper grammar. It is a journalism class. Run-on sentences, sentence splices, and incorrect punctuations are generally something you need to teach a class.

[Shatter590]

begs me to ask the question then: who was first?

Ive always thought it be the Ramones, but a friend of mine insists it was The Descendants.

The Ramones set out the template for most pop-punk bands out there, but I think The Buzzcocks refined the formula and Descendents kicked a little hardcore into it before it really became known as "pop-punk".
