i think some of you are just trying to look really cool and list all of the bands you know and each on a separate line so it looks really long.... the person wants "pop punk".. not every band u know

[mOvielife99]

and why do people consider bands like brand new and taking back sunday pop punk? jut becasue alot of people like them doesn't make them pop punk dammit

[FarPastGone]

Autopilot Off is pretty good check out Slick Shoes too...

[BrandNew20]

you act like a band being classified as pop-punk is a bad thing. The Decendents are cool and they are pop-punk, same with Movielife...Taking Back Sunday in my eyes is pop-punk, as is Brand New. To the guy who started the thread, if you like pop-punk and you like Blink, I'd assume you'd like any band on Drive Thru.

[Don Socrates]

For pop-punk, my definite preference is the Alkaline Trio. If you like pop-punk but want a darker edge to it, this is definitely a good palce to start.

Oh yeah, because we all know I put my heart and soul into trying to look cool on the internet. Haha, calm down you fucking knob..I was just trying to help the guy out.

Every band I listed has a poppy edge to them. And you know it. Every single band on that list, there is a possibility he may enjoy them. I even included bands with just the slightest bit of pop punk in them. Anything the guy may like.

[lollirot]

Screeching Weasel, The Vandals, 88 Fingers Louie, The Exploding Hearts, The Faction, not pop-punk but definitely check out The Shins.

Also I don't see the point in repeating the same bands in every post.

[Don Socrates]

Good call on the Vandals. "Anarchy Burger", and the song about his idea for a movie still make me laugh everytime I hear them. If you want some really funny stuff, everyone should go download everything they can find by "The Dead Milkmen", right now.

[thexflamesxburn]

you definitely didn't write all those. he said pop-punk, and you have the used, finch, rufio, steel train, rancid? half your damn list isn't pop punk.

[takingbackrufio]

Brandon is just trying to fucking help the guy out. Jesus christ, you people look into things way too fucking much. Just because he wants pop-punk doesn't mean he won't like anything else.

Apparently somebody didn't read my bost after that. I said I included ANYTHING that had even the slightest pop-punk edge to it. Anything the guy might like. Not just neccessairly straight up pop-punk.

I'm terribly sorry for trying to help somebody out.

Those are all pop-punk bands. At the least, they have some pop-punk influence. Out of the four you listed, I would only consider reclassifying The Used, but even they have some pop songs in their repertoire.

Exactly.

Some people are just too close minded to realize pop-punk stretches outside of bands like New Found Glory and Blink-182.

[MaybeOneDay]

It's ok, you don't have to worry, i'm not nice very often.

[soreloser]

people just dont want their favourite bands to be classified as pop-punk cuz then they wont be cool anymore and theyll have to find new bands to idolize.

[AlwaysPunkin45]

Go buy every Saves the Day album...thats all the pop punk/emo I need.

thursday really doesn't at all, they grew up in a indie/harcore background and that's the style they base their music on. the only reason they are ascociated with this "scene" is because they were signed to victory records.

but pop-punk? no

I didn't really say Thursday was a pop-punk band. Because, they aren't. Trust me, i'm well aware of that. Like I said many times before in this thread, I was just listing some bands that he may like. Anything that isn't too hardcore or anything like that. The kind of stuff he could probably get into.

I don't really like labelling bands at all.

You could help us narrow it down by telling us more about your musical preferences. What bands do you already like? What kind of sound/lyrics appeal to you?

[worldstheory]

Dude, you seem to be under the impression that pop-punk means "POPULAR" or something. All pop-punk refers to is subject matter of relationships and girls and love and heartbreak and stuff. A band can have a sound that's hardcore up the wazoo, but with relationship/girl subject matter, it's pop-punk.

That's my definition... debate away.

That's my definition... debate away. Pop-punk does not mean popular at all, like you said, Brenton. However, I think that just because the lyrics a band has are about relationships/girls doesn't mean they're pop-punk. Pop-punk is short for 'Poppy-Punk', if that sounds stupid or not, I don't care ... if it sounds fast, catchy, and 'poppy' it's pop-punk. There's no way to explain it, really.

I understand what you're getting at. And I kind of agree with you. But I don't believe the sound dictates "pop-punk" or "not", I just think it's usually a side-effect of the content. In other words, most pop-punk has a "pop-punk sound", but it doesn't HAVE to have that sound to be pop-punk. I believe that whether or not it's pop-punk is completely dictated by the lyrics. That's why I think of bands like Finch as pure, straight-up pop-punk even though their instruments are heavier and they include screaming that make most people think "hardcore".

I thought when songs focus more on heartbreaks they're considered emo. I haven't listened to much TBS or brand new, but, aren't they more emo than pop punk?

[rancid_punx]

you need to be kicked hard in the nuts for puttin a shitty list of poppunk bands. dont get me wrong poppunk is gay but you listed some of the greatest non poppunk bands ever. if there was something i missed im sorry.

It would've had more effect if you would've presented it in a more intelligent matter. You know nothing about music, so leave.

I assume you're referring to my list. Well, here's my take on it:

Your user name is rancid_punx. You do not even get an opinion, dipshit.

[MaybeOneDay]

As for the term 'emo', I have erased it from my knowledge. I do not know what it is, I do not care what it is...it does not exist.

That was a good joke. Fall Out Boy is terrible. Their damn drummer is in that band for the money. He was in a pretty good metalcore band called Racetraitor, and he left that for that lame ass band.

No, that was not a gay comment, because that's all you seem to comeback with ... how mature telling another he's 'gay'. My brother calls me that, and he's in Grade 6.

I don't like displays of blatant homosexuality, and that seems to be all I get when I try reading a thread here. And I don't know why you would think about calling me moronic, because I will outsmart you on almost any topic.

Funny. You prance around here like you're the most intelligent person on the forum, then you use homosexuality as an insult. When are you getting the nobel prize ?

I've said it before and i'll say it again. It's people like you that make me look like a fucking rocket scientist.

Homophobic?

Dude, get over it, we're not homosexual. This is the internet. I have never met Brandon in real life, and online relationships do not work ... Brandon is my friend, we like to joke around. Is there something wrong? What, you're not part of the fun so you get your laugh by calling us gay ... what points out to you thinking this? I called you moronic because in most cases, when somebody tries to insult me with the term 'gay' or 'homosexual' I usually jump to that opinion. This isn't a competition, you can't win this argument, because blantly, your comments about me are some of the stupidest things I've ever received on this forum. You will outsmart me on almost any topic? Whoop-dee-doo, you're a fucking brainiac, I must say, I'm very proud of you.

NEVER SEE FALLOUT BOY LIVE.

[Descendent]

I'm not much into pop punk... but the greatest pop punk band ever is the Descendents... gotta check them out... and Alkaline Trio is very good... and why is everyone bitching about tbs and brand new being listed as "pop punk" they're sure in the hell not punk... or in the genre of gravity aka screamo...

[still_life]

The fun? Yeah, posting like a bunch of fairies, jocking inferior music, telling each other that you love them is real fun. I'll do more constructive things on the internet instead.

Hi, Thanks for the replies. I was looking for bands that are similar to Blink 182 and the Ataris. They are my favorites. I already have New found glory, Boxcar racer, Sum 41, Antifreeze, Jimmy Eat world. Among the ones that you listed, which of them are similar to blink and ataris? Although I would also be interested to listen to emo..

For bands like Blink 182 and the Ataris, I have three words: Drive Thru Records

For the dreaded "E" word, I suggest Sunny Day Real Estate, Get-Up Kids, Rilo Kiley, Bright Eyes, Dashboard, Brand New, etc. While none of these bands are straight-up emo (who the hell is?), they all have emo qualities.

[Lueda Alia]

I don't know why you people fight over what's pop-punk and what's not. In my opinion, the label "pop-punk" is just plain stupid, because isn't punk like everything that pop isn't? It just contradicts itself to me and it just doesn't make sense at all, but maybe that's just me you know, since I really hate that label "pop-punk".

but eh. continue debating.

wtf okay i'm sorry but I don't neccissarily understand why blink 182 is constantly thrown into this fucking pile along with good charlotte and avril lavigne...blink has been around since 92 or 93 and are really fucking talented, they paved the way for some bands. sure, they aren't emo but goshh they aren't bad. i'm not a big fan but this just irks me.

So tell us, what more constructive things to do you have to do on the internet ? Tell people they're 'gay' ? That should get you a career in no time, dipshit.

Yeah, it's kind of stupid. But, don't let it bother you. Blink 182 are much better than any of those bands they're grouped with, but just shrug it off. I'm a huge fan, and I couldn't care less.
