Why do so many college age kids and beyond love pop punk so much?
because they want to be edgy but can't handle music with actual edge, and can only get into stuff that sounds poppy

What's your argument for people who like both?
>>74765060
chill out dude its fun
>>74765546
the punk part is the potentially difficult part to enjoy, if you already enjoy punk, odds are you enjoy poppier sounding punk as well.
>>74765060
Because it all sounds the same and it's good to be safe with accessible music
because its fun and im gay

It was really popular when they were in middle school.
But........
who DOESN'T love The Ramones, The Buzzcocks, The Undertones and/or The Descendants?
>>74765124
pop punk isn't edgy at all fag

That's old school pop punk
WAY better than modern/new school
>>74766931
there's still some good new bands with the old sound. most of the popular shit is trash though.
because fall out boy and panic actually have good albums
>>74766974

what am i doing wrong?
>>74766962
Yeah good old school pop punk bands that are still around include The Copyrights, Masked Intruder, Teenage Bottlerocket, The Murderburgers, Hospital Job, Direct Hit! etc.
>>74766931
The Ramones are garbage tho
>>74765060
>pop punk
so the same as saying mouthless oral

Because they grew up with it. They're a little younger than me roughly, and it's all the same stuff I listened to growing up. But as music became my number 1 hobby and I went to listen to diverse and crazy shit. They weren't that bothered and just listened to what they knew they liked and just continued to seek out stuff like that. It's not difficult to understand. It's the same reason my parents love George Michael and my grandparents like Buddy Holly.
What is THE punk song?
My suggestions are
-Teenage Kicks
-Outdoor Miner
-Damaged Goods

Are you mayhaps retarded?
I like punk, I like pop, I like pop punk.
>>74767459
Teenage Kicks 100%, not that OM is bad (it's great), but I think it defines the genre better. I've honestly never even considered Gang of Four to be pop punk
>>74765574
wrong
Because New Found Glory gets all the girls. Rawr.
Because The Buzzcocks are awesome
Green Day and Blink-182 are my guilty pleasures
Pop punk has more in common with proper old school punk like Buzzcocks, Stiff Little Fingers etc than modern punk does

Because it's the perfect blend of subculture aestethic and corporatized, bland, music.

Wrong I know what "Edgy" is. Enough to know that what is and isn't edgy changes overtime. I listen to some poop punk.
