pop punk
RUMBLEMOOSE:
The Buzzcocks are from like '79, I'm not sure if they can count as indie anything or pop anything, just plain old fashioned punk.
I saw Face to Face live once but they left no impression on me. I had just been hit in the face watching H2O open for them, and for a skinny kid from the North country getting hit is kind of a shock even at a punk show.
Actually there is a pop punk band that plays the local open mic night, but I haven't gotten to any of their real gigs. The idea of moshing with a bunch of 15-year-olds is not as appealing now that I'm 24 and achy and tired. I still like the music fine, I just can't do the scene, I might break someone. Or someone might break me. Anyone else have this age problem with their punk scene?

lol, he's like one of those street hobos that, whilst your standing at light and stuff, stand next to and start talking and shit. Or that weird uncle who kind of speaks english, but it's mostly like conjunctive english words mixed in with another strange language, that sounds arabic but is really just garble.

and that one.
i just had some vague feelings and ideas about what "pop punk" is.
i suppose i was just posing what i felt like the genre amounted to in my eyes, and asking what everyone thought of the bands in question, etc.
how about this:
What do you consider pop punk?
I'd say Face to Face and Blink 182 and Ted Leo all fall under the category, but each are different (stylisticly and in quality).
I mean, I could just search Wikipedia for a history, I just wanted to talk to real people about it.
guess i did it in a HURR way, though. cos i was listening to Don't Turn Away at the time and i was excited.
Praeserpium Machinarum:
In spite of my sig, I like one... no make that two pop-punk bands: Zombina & The Skeletons and Pretty Girls Make Graves.
At least I am told they are pop punk, I really don't get genres at all.
I have only heard one Ted Leo & the Pharmacists track Me and Mia which is pretty badass though I would it was more power pop than pop punk.
But then again as I said I don't get genres ;)
ImRonBurgundy?:
okay. seriously.
not pop-punk: New Found Blink Charlotte 41 etc.
pop-punk: Screeching Weasel, Jawbreaker, Teenage Bottlerocket, The Ergs, The Lillingtons, The Queers, A Radio With Guts, early Green Day, The Soviettes, Dillinger Four, The Mr. T Experience, Fifteen, Crimpshrine, The Apers, Bracket, The Broadways, Connie Dungs, The Eyeliners, Funsize, Nerf Herder, really early MxPx, Pinhead Gunpowder, Retarded, Scared of Chaka, The Smoking Popes, Softball, Teen Idols, The Vandervoorts, The Zatopeks, and more.
The Buzzcocks and Descendents are like "proto pop-punk", i suppose, and The Ramones were a huge influence on bands like Screeching Weasel and The Queers.
