And when you were still a young, unintelligent, easily influenced, person did you appreciate being talked down to by the older generation being shoved out of the mainstream in favor of your peers?

That's also a rather limited and idealistic view of punk music as well. I've heard PLENTY of punk rock that had exactly 0 desire for any sort of worthwhile positive social change. That's not to say there's plenty of it out there, but for every band like Midnight Oil or NoMeansNo making a serious difference / saying something worth hearing there's a 1000 no name punk bands who's only push for social change is to be able to keep acting like the brats they want to be.

I love that song but I've never thought of it as pop punk.

Pop-Punk has always been the same. A huge amount of ****ty bands but some good stuff if you dig, here's a great song released just last year.

"wisdom" was never unintelligent.

Yeah, it's a "limited and idealistic view of punk music." But I think many punk bands at least pay lip service to the idea that they're trying to make a difference. For example, the degenerates known as The Sex Pistols.

I'm too "young" on the boards to share a youtube link, but I have always been partial to THE MR T EXPERIENCE within this genre.

I also have been a fan of BOWLING FOR SOUP and a little RELIANT K (when they're not being too Christy). If I listen to pop-punk, which I don't often, I want it to be lighthearted and a little goofy. Obviously, you have to have some skills to do that well, or it's still just garbage.

Also, I am listening to some Take Back Sunday right now on youtube based on comments earlier in the thread, and I am not digging it. It feels too emo, and it makes me bored. But then, I haven't been 16 for a long time.

I coudl only wish this was true.

maybe it's better of that way, better off to be dead! :) most bands today do not settle for a single genre, they move about, seeking which the audience would like and then they'd switch it!

Pop/Punk
 
I don't think that its dead! its still a really popular genre that is widely listened to.
