I would love to make a pop punk concept album where it’s about the pop punk revival where the characters are these teen alt kids rock band who are nostalgic for the 00s/early 10s and want rock back on the charts. But it’s very dark because it will be set during quarantine and the end of quarantine.

Buzzcocks and Ramones were Punk Pop Descendents were the first Pop Punk band Green Day and Blink 182 both sound more like them than they do Buzzcocks and Ramones Their album "I Don't Want To Grow Up" is the first album to come out and set the tropes & trends of what stereotypical "Pop Punk" would become a decade later

[@cranklabexplosion-labcentr8245]

I swear this genre has the same vocalist for every band. It’s like death metal or trap

[@beetlehorn]

You just need to listen to more of it. Not being facetious, it does all sound the same at the beginning until you listen to the different inflections and tones in different vocalists.

[@themelancholicpaganmusicco2980]

You’re not exactly wrong…. but almost not right with pop punk or death metal. With those genres, there *has* to be underground local bands out there with a more expansive vocal range. You only don’t hear about them because they don’t appeal to the radio masses that simp over that Blink 18-Green out Boy in Reverse, or Cannibal Deicide ft. Under stuff. But trap? You’re 100% right on point.

[@modaljazz59]

Regarding vocals, two things: the girls have always had a place in the genre and punk in general going back to Blondie, Shonen Knife, Bratmobile. Much more than in prog rock, or classic rock, or heavy metal. Second; one of the great features of many pop punk bands is having two vocalists. Propagandhi, Alkaline Trio, How Water Music, Dillinger Four, The Copyrights, Teenage Bottlerocket. You can tell their voices apart. But I 💯 agree, it is subtle.

Pop punk isn’t the sole reason that vinyls are still printed hip hop also played an important role as the genre is based around the tradition of vinyl

[@limpneckmike]

Green Day released 21st Century Breakdown in 2009, and I’d argue that was still very mainstream.

[@GremlinBones]

I'd pick the Buzzcocks over Ramones as the first pop-punk band because while what you said is true, and the Ramones are more cemented in pop culture because of that, to me the Ramones are more punk, slightly. They are having fun but, a good chunk of their early songs are very political. As well ad, Ramones taking a genre that previously was popular and turning it into something else. They are "pop punk" only really in the sense that they have fun and that the style that they play was popular in previous decades. To me, the Buzzcocks made their own style, and the lyrics and subject matter are all over the place. They have some political things, and they have a lot of songs about relationships and life paired up with original catchy tunes. I'm not gonna knock on anyone who says the Ramones because their later work was pretty much pop punk, but that was in the 80s, after the Buzzcocks "created" the sound. I'd also slightly argue that the Clash could fit in there too but again, they became more pop later in their careers. Buzzcocks were pop punk the whole time.

[@toddpacker4683]

the dickies are underrated also

[@johndadrumman]

Neoncore was really the death nail for the genre. It was wayyyy too sanitized and it was directly aimed at the 12-15 year old demographic. I teach middle school and let me tell you, once something that was cool with high schoolers starts to be cool with middle schoolers, the party is over. I think that's why we saw the new wave of pop punk/emo/midwest emo bands from the revival phase become more experimental, heavier and less concerned about mass appeal. Plus, by that time streaming had taken over and music genre stratification really took hold. Sub-genres are key now.

the 2020s sound of pop punk is actually really good. theres artist from (emo)rap/trap who peaked into pop punk lately and brought new in influences from their original respective genres. for example fat nick or sueco, they are both doing great and dropped really good albums already. or other newer artists/bands like kennyhoopla or point north

[@wedonttalkaboutbruno5670]

Alexisonfire. Very underrated and been around long time. Emo or screamo depending on album but top tier

[@PuliPG]

A big part of the tiktok-ification of the genre is due to Travis' marrying Kourtney and hanging out with every “emo rapper” out there, as well as the fact that his son dated the most famous tiktoker Charli D Amelio

[@soundofhistory_]

To me, I still think Descendents were the first pop-punk band. I'd call Buzzcocks and Ramones proto-pop punk in the same way The Velvet Underground and NY Dolls were kind of punk, but were more like punk forefathers. Descendents created a sound that every major pop punk band after them tried to emulate. But I think that's a minority opinion and more people would agree with you lol

[@NeverNormal]

Great points, thanks for watching!

[@soundofhistory_]

@@NeverNormal Thanks for making it! I enjoyed the video

[@heter0flexual623]

descendents feels slightly detached from the "pop punk sound" you could say, milo goes to college is still decently raw for a pop punk album. i'd argue that bad religion did more for establishing that blink 182/simple plan type sound but either way, none of them exist without descendents

[@modaljazz59]

This^^^ also Bad Brains, Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, Minor Threat were more Hardcore, a sub-genre of "punk". "Punk" was really a musical term that developed in NY/US and which then became an internationally know style with the ascendence of the Sex Pistols to their #1 charted album which appeared as a blank. The Bill Grundy incident was the event that put them in the tabloids, "The Filth and The Fury", the media (print newspapers) pushed this word "punk" on them. This "punk" was then declared dead by the media after the deaths of Sid & Nancy in 1979, but hardcore fans and hardcore kids kept for themselves and kept it alive.

[@JonathanKollodziej]

As far as I’m concerned, New Found Glory are the kings of PopPunk. That’s been my thought since Wayback when What I really need is a deep dive on FuseTV though, the best station.

Pop Punk was my favorite music growing up in the 90's. But the bands around 2003 really turned me off. Yellowcard, Simple Plan, and Fall Out Boy were the worst. The vocalists all sound exactly the same, they were way too polished, and more pop than punk. This was the end of the genre to me and I transitioned to A7x. I still love and listen to the classic Green Day, Blink, and Sum 41 stuff today.

[@takodabostwick8507]

Yellowcard is better than A7X to me. Only because I believe that Yellowcard are better than Megadeth, but Megadeth are a million times better than Megadeth. But Metallica is better than all of the bands you mentioned, except for Green Day and Sum 41. However I did put Metallica in my top 10 because of Ride the Lighting, one of the best rock/metal albums ever made. However, I have to give the edge to Linkin Park over A7X. Chester Bennington was the 00s version of Kurt Cobain. Not only that, Linkin Park's music made an impact on that generation. I had to put A7X in the top 30 because they're another 00s band that I love and I have to include bands that were around and popular that I loved during my childhood. Gotta give Linkin Park and A7X credit for their impact in the 00s.

[@SupplementalSense]

@@takodabostwick8507 I loved Linkin Park back in 2003. Hybrid Theory and Meteora are two of my favorite albums ever. After those first two albums though, I didn't like as much from them. Korn was also declining a bit around the same time. That's about when A7x took off with Waking the Fallen and City of Evil.
