>song is about japan
Were The Vapors the proto-Weezer?

Is first-wave Pop Punk basically Power Pop?

I'd argue it is

Pretty much every band ITT is proto Weezer. Them, Jellyfish, The Rentals (Matt Sharp's band after Weezer), Teenage Fanclub, Harvey Danger and Fountains of Wayne are 90s power pop.

I'd say very closely related. A lot of late 70s New Wave and Pop Punk bands had a lot in common with the Power Pop bands.

New Clear Days by the Vapors is such an underrated album.

Speaking of new wavey power pop, I've been listening to Squeeze a lot lately. Argybargy is a masterpiece.
