That's great and everything but you've yet to tell me a straight and plain punk band. I don't think there's a difference between pop-punk and punk. I don't think pop-punk is watered down. Ramones and Descendents aren't watered down.

I highly recommend The Ergs!.

Hahahaha.

Hardcore, crust, anarcho, do not equal popular punk.

Pop-punk is not punk, beat yr. own kid is right, it's a complete paradox.
