I like punk rock and I like melody so pop punk makes me happy.

Best pop-punk right now, in my opinion:

1) Man Overboard (****ing fantastic and great guys)
2) Four Year Strong (close to pop-punk)
3) Set Your Goals
4) Real Friends
5) Fireworks (bass player has one finger)
6) I Call Fives

Which one?

and are saying just one finger for his whole being, or one on each hand?

You only need the middle finger for punk rock. And three chords.

quoted for truth :beer:

That's the one I was hoping for. Sadly, I looked it up and it's his thumb. :(

Going from someone who used to love Sum 41, Green Day, The Offspring and Blink, to then having a bit of an anti pop punk few years before liking them again, even if a lot of it was cringey, I have to say I think most of the pop punkers nowadays are just ****

I will hold my hand up and say I like Say Anything and Set Your Goal though....

I still end up singing along to Basket Case whenever it's on the radio at work, as much as I hate to admit it.

I've been really getting into pop punk lately...I don't really know where it came from but some bands I've been enjoying lately are

Real Friends
Transit
Handguns
With The Punches
The Wonder Years
Such Gold
Pentimento
Turnover
Man Overboard
Joyce Manor (I call them pop punk, others may not)
