The Pop Punk Appreciation Thread
 

Alright, I'm prepared for the endless flaming and being called a ***got. I know pop punk is a much derided genre, and that so called "serious" punks deride the genre for not being "real" punk. But you know what? I'm not a pretentious hipster, so I don't give a ****. I love the genre and I don't care who knows it. With that in mind, I decided to create a thread for like minded people who love punk music with delicious pop hooks. So go ahead and discuss your favorite bands, songs, or albums in the realm of pop punk, or you could just discuss the genre itself. This thread won't end well, will it?

My favorite pop-punk album

This is my favorite pop punk album ever, and my 5th all time favorite album. 12 songs in just over half an hour, with all the teen angst and heartbreak you'd want from a pop punk album. Masterpiece.

I'd like to listen to more Saves The Day. Any recommendations for the next album I should listen to?

If you like Saves The Day, you need to check out The Moon is Down by Further Seems Forever, Houston We Have a Drinking Problem by Bad Astronaut, and Greatest Hits by Remo Drive

my man tristan coming through with the best recs

Me First And The Gimme Gimmes - Karma Chameleon


Goldfinger - 99 Red Balloons


The Muffs - "Kids in America"

I had a friend who'd play the **** out of that song. Is pretty tasty pop tbh.

Wow, I am actually really happy this thread is off to a good start. I expected backlash from the get go, but I'm pleasantly surprised to see the positive responses so far. Thanks for the recs, Tristan. I'll be sure to check them out.

This forum has a pretty strong punk community, most of whom are unabashed pop punk fans

There are elitists, yeah, but **** em (no matter how much I love every member of this forum <3

Oh yeah? When was the last time you sent me a lusty PM?

Sending one now bb

I'll agree with that too. I hate that word with every ounce of my being.

Hipsters usually do.

Happy?

The Hard Ons were pretty pop-punk.
