It still bares some resemblence to punk music though whether it's genuine or not, 3 chords, catchy choruses, spkiy guitars etc.
You have to remember that Blink 182 and the rest only represent the mainstream side to pop punk, then you have bands like Screeching Weasel and Operation Ivy and, back in the day, the Buzz****s which show a much better side to it all.
