I think that pop punk is a good term to have because its obviously the yang to the yin of the hardcore and peace/anarcho punk things and a sense of balance is necessary in all things including punk rock. Without balance there is only chaos.
I just don't think its worth having a war over though. Ask Bob Mould what he thinks. He expressed both hardcore and pop punk ideas in his music, therefore it was balanced and better than most.
