Well, as I said in another thread, I think the whole scene then was "pop-punk." The Buzz****s, Blondie, Rezillos, Boomtown Rats, etc...they were just as poppy as the Ramones, and I think that whole aesthetic has been passed down, through the post-punk, new wave, synthpop run of trends, into mainstream pop music.

Green Day comes directly out of that, IMO, and I think Green Day led to the rise of what people currently call "pop-punk."
