I'm only sick of the sucky pop-punk. I'd listen to it if I found a pop-punk band that I liked a lot.

edit: maybe Green Day is pop-punk, I don't know.

[Chris Fallon]

What is out there now, is not pop-punk.

There is a lot of great pop-punk out there, just not too recent, because there are only a few bands doing pop-punk the right way here and now.

[khernan05]

haha slayer...


nah like lorene drive and velvet revolver stuff

any good bands similar to them that arent too popular?

[versus_god]

The Groucho Marxists - sounds like Elvis Costello fronting a pop-punk band

[Chris Fallon]

I can't think of any just plain ol' rock music that doesn't manage to come across as being contrived and convoluted. I find most straight-up rock stuff to be a snoozefest.

Pop punk is my favorite genre, but it's realllyy getting over saturated with "hot" emo bands. My biggest pet peeve is that all these bands lead singers sound the exact same. The lead singers voice in these bands can make or break them for me. That being said it's still my favorite genre and there are some absolutely amazing pop-punk bands that I couldn't live without: FOB (especially TTTYG), New Found Glory, blink-182, Something Corporate, Jack's Mannequin, Relient K etc. So I wouldn't say I am getting tired of pop-punk, I am just getting tired of the generic bands that are more pop than punk. Every once in a while there is a new band that does it right though.

[versus_god]

There are tons of great new pop-punk bands out there doing it.

Doing it right.

The Hold Steady? Are they rock-n-roll? They rule either way.

Rocket From The Crypt: 100% the balls.

To me, The Hold Steady is a different breed of punk. Same attitude, same style.

RFTC though... ska-rock-punk that makes me want to spinkick every skateboarding pre-teen who strolls by.

Pop punk from the mid 90's to the early 2000's was money.

Pop punk from the mid 90's to the early 2000's was money.

Agreed. QFT.

[BeggingYou2Stay]

When I hear the words "pop-punk" now I think of All Time Low. I like a few of ATL's songs, but so many other bands, such as Boys Like Girls and We The Kings, sound too similar to me.
I think original pop-punk is like Green Day and New Found Glory, but I don't know much about the history...
Cartel (http://www.myspace.com/cartel)'s "Chroma" really stands out to me though. :)
I love Eye Alaska (http://www.myspace.com/eyealaska). They aren't afraid to think outside the genre.

[versus_god]

Green Day and New Found Glory are not original pop-punk.

Cartel is not a pop-punk band.

i wouldn't consider Cartel original pop punk

Most "modern rock" bands-if thats what your looking for- are too commercialized now-a-days. Actually now that I think about it, every genre have bands that are too commercialized and that sound all the same. Payola anyone?

[Yes. And?]

Oh.

[EchoPark]

I'm only sick of the sucky pop-punk.




:thumbup:


Good pop-punk is always great to listen to. I never grow tired of it.

But this cheese that is being classified as pop/punk these days just does not cut the mustard.

Pop punk is dead.

The only three decent pop punk bands left, SoCo/Jack's Mannequin, Say Anything and Brand New, don't even make pop punk anymore. Everything else is either once solid bands living off music they made almost a decade ago (Less Than Jake, Jimmy Eat World, New Found Glory, Taking Back Sunday, The Starting Line) or this terrible new wave of image friendly pop punk bands (Boys Like Girls, Cartel, All Time Low) and then there's also the just plain generic bands pluggin away before they get 9 to 5's when the major label move doesn't work out (Anberlin, Mae, Armor For Sleep). There's also the pop punk which has actual punk in it but the threadstarter didn't mean that kind and I know nothing about it anyway.

Not sure why people don't understand this or why they are surprised the stuff now isn't good.

[pcyph]

I think it's too broad of a spectrum, let's make a list of what kinds.

BubbleGum Pop-Punk: Boys Like Girls, All Time Low, Cartel, The Maine etc etc ambiguously gay dudes.

Good Pop-punk : Jimmy Eat World, New Found Glory, Brand New, Say Anything, Taking Back Sunday etc etc good music.

Oh wait, this isn't that broad at all.

My bad.

[versus_god]

None of those bands are good. Heil Satan!

[pcyph]

is The Lawrence Arms pop-punk?


or just punk?

0_o?

[AP_Punk]

melodic punk?

[pcyph]

would that include Anti-Flag too?

[Jet Set Paul]

Hinder
Nickleback
Three Days Grace
Buck Cherry.

That sounds like what you're asking for...

[AP_Punk]

would that include Anti-Flag too?

Hmm. Probably. Haha.

[El_Jeffe]

i've never ever understood the association between jimmy eat world & any form of the word "punk". not hating on the band in any way, just saying... perhaps i'm not getting something?

[pcyph]

Well, "Bleed American" "Sweetness" "A Praise Chorus" "The Middle" "Kill" "Pain" and many more songs clearly have a punk influence.

Any other questions?

[pcyph]

Under no circumstances are Brand New a pop punk band anymore.

I'll agree here, TDAGARIM isn't pop-punk in the slightest but it's still a fantastic album.

[bradyreier]

I really can't stand any of the newer pop-punk bands, but I do enjoy some older pop-punk during these summer months.

[AP_Punk]

Well, "Bleed American" "Sweetness" "A Praise Chorus" "The Middle" "Kill" "Pain" and many more songs clearly have a punk influence.

Any other questions?

they're more of just a pop rock band.

[versus_god]

There's a difference between punk-influenced and punk.

[El_Jeffe]

i wasn't really hitting you up mate, just a question in general. but since you responded....how? i've heard all those tunes. to me they're just a pop band. maybe even pop-rock, but punk? i could be way off here, but i've just never heard any element of the bands very accessible, often over-polished, radio friendly, sound that has anything remotely "punk"? again, not hating, don't mind clarity & a the odd song from various other albums. just an odd relationship

[pcyph]

There's a difference between punk-influenced and punk.

Ok, then all those songs clearly have a pop-punk sound.........


and to answer the Pop-Rock thingy, I would think the whole of the faster songs on "Bleed American" are more pop-punk, but their newer stuff is pop-rock.

[EchoPark]

i've never ever understood the association between jimmy eat world & any form of the word "punk". not hating on the band in any way, just saying... perhaps i'm not getting something?


Agree.

JEW are by no means punk whatsoever.

Their music has always been of the melodic rock variety.

[Vicky82]

I agree. i was all for it 3 years ago....its just old now...i have stopped listening to alot of the music i used to love. Taken out the classic rock again.

[SickOfStars]

Rock?

You want ROCK?

The Hold Steady (as previously said)

Boris (specifically "Akuma No Uta" or "Pink", these albums have more "rock" and less drone)

[NEP633]

I'm not tired of it. theres still a alot of good hardcore influenced pop/punk bands around. shook ones, title fight, daggermouth, etc.

The only good current pop-punk bands are Set Your Goals, Four Year Strong, and H20.

Basically I agree. They aren't pop punk in the least and I don't see how people mistake them for it at all.

[kearn1tm]

I think original pop-punk is like Green Day and New Found Glory, but I don't know much about the history...
.

Absolutely not. The Vibrators, Buzzcocks, The Jam, The Ramones, The Clash etc. are initial Pop Punk.

Then, The Knack, Agent Orange, The Replacements, etc.

All awesome, all better than your favorite Starling Line album.

Oh, and to answer the original post; no, I'm not sick of Contemporary Pop Punk. It's one of my guilty pleasures. I love early/mid '00s Pop Punk to this day.

[TheSkyline]

I'm only sick of the sucky pop-punk. I'd listen to it if I found a pop-punk band that I liked a lot.

Old green day is, new green day just sucks.

Anyways, I wouldn't say I'm sick of pop-punk, but I definitely wouldn't mind seeing some more real rock bands either.

There's this sweet band called the Ergs!.
