Why dont people understand pop punk?why is pop-punk considered a 90's fad?

I've seen things written describing the band less than jake as having the nasal vocals typical of 90's pop punk.

do these people even realize screeching weasel and NOFX sounded like that in 1986?

unlike 80's hair metal or grunge pop punk has always been around. pop in this case doesnt mean "popular" it means "not hardcore"

the ramones were the alpha punk band of all time and they were pop punk!

hardcore was the splinter genre, the spin-off. the angrier version that lost sight of what the ramones and buzzcocks were doing.

even if green day and blink got big in the 90's thats like a couple bands and it was only the tip of the iceburg.

plus fall out boy is huge now and love-em or hate em they are pop punk.

hell the damn jonas brothers are singing pop punk even if they arent writing it.

anyone else hate how unfairly this, my fave genre, is portrayed?

yeah, the pop-punk gets a bad rep from any and all other punk or rock genres.. for the most part, the best pop-punk bands out there were heavily influenced by the Ramones (and, in some cases think they ARE the ramones, i.e. Huntingtons, Riverdales) it gets cast aside as "not-punk-enough" by the street punks and sXe hardcore fans, etc.

i personally do'nt know how-thehell to "classify" fall out boy, but hey if they like what they're playin', and people love 'em, more power to them..

it has seemed that the late 80's / early 90's pop-punk has gone the way of the buffalo unfortunately, making room nowadays for more hardcore bands, emo, fashion-oriented w/ straight hair brushed-to-the-side-look, whatever, i love the early Lookout!-type stuff myself... ha, yeah, the first Screeching Weasel album was wayyy off from what they sounded like only 2 or 3 albums later.

but hands-down, songs about girls, parties, and teen-angst are what it is ALL about, there's no other way.. what the underground scene needs is the revival of the pop-punk, having good times!

viva The Queers.
