bodiesinflight57: Why Does Pop-punk Exist?

Niceinvader 09.13.09	I disagree, you should check out forgive durden and say anything, those bands might change your mind
Knott- 09.13.09	sigh. there is some incredible pop-punk in the world.
Electric City 09.13.09	dude i ask myself the same question of rap every day
shortone323 09.13.09	Probably because it's fun and easy to listen to. Even an uncreative and unskilled band can usually make at least one catchy song that's fun to listen to before it gets overplayed on the raido.
CompanionCube 09.13.09	good pop punk > this list
americanmusicmachine 09.13.09	listen to dillinger four. they'll answer your question.
redskyformiles 09.13.09	Say Anything, Dillinger Four, The Get Up Kids, Alkaline Trio, Saves the Day, Taking Back Sunday, Motion City Soundtrack, Northstar, Further Seems Forever, Rufio, Daggermouth, Paramore, The Ataris, Millencolin, New Found Glory. forgive durden is pretty eh.
americanmusicmachine 09.13.09	also avail and lifetime!!! and jawbreaker!!!
NortherlyNanook 09.13.09	milo goes to college would beg to differ
Prophet178 09.13.09	3 and 8 aren't disappointments.
Masochist 09.13.09	Mae is amazing. Anberlin and Jimmy Eat World, if you consider them pop-punk, are also amazing. The Get-Up Kids, Alkaline Trio, and fuck yes MILLENCOLIN are all worthy. And 'Catch Without Arms' is damn amazing.
redskyformiles 09.13.09	CWA is my favorite dredg album
IsItLuck? 09.13.09	you say that but every genre has equal amounts of terrible bands, it's a matter of how accessible pop-punk is to the mainstream audience
americanmusicmachine 09.13.09	"Deja Entendu was probably the best pop punk album ever. That or ...Is a Real Boy." no!!!!!!!!
XulOnerom 09.13.09	Pop-punk can be good. What I really dislike are generic bands just playing power chords with tired vocal melodies, trying to be the next Blink 182. But there are also good and innovative pop punk bands. Stop making generalizations
shindip 09.13.09	3 and 6 were amazing IMO
americanmusicmachine 09.13.09	"Yeah" agree to disagree?
Titan50 09.13.09	ugh
fromtheinside 09.13.09	if FOB is pop-punk than i would really disagree with this list.
bloc 09.13.09	that's a good question, what genre is FOB anyway?
EasternLight 09.13.09	id say straight pop.
darksunwithin 09.13.09	8 is awesome gtfo
fromtheinside 09.13.09	nah dude, FOB is often to heavy for just straight pop. especially their earlier stuff.
adkymo 09.13.09	Pop-punk is fantastic is fantastic if it's well executed. As for this list though, I think you're spot on... except I did find myself enjoying 5 (but I put that down to me being a little fan boyish).
bloc 09.13.09	i guess they went through a genre phase with each album. in terms of right now, i'd go with pop-rock or something.
SeaAnemone 09.13.09	1. Listen to Northstar- Pollyanna and Park- It Won't Snow Where You're Going 2. Promptly change your mind about the aforementioned statement. 3. Apologize
VicariousIntent 09.13.09	...Is A Real Boy by Say Anything is almost guaranteed to change your mind. It pushes the limits of pop punk to a completely new level. Pop Punk is a genre often criticized for lack of originality, but I find it's one of the few genres with artists who are constantly pushing the limits of what they can do. And those bands really care about their fans, which is always nice.
cirq 09.13.09	pop punk is fun and stupid.. quit bitchin
joobakka 09.13.09	props for 8!
scyther 09.13.09	"you say that but every genre has equal amounts of terrible bands" How could you possibly come to this conclusion?
bodiesinflight57 09.14.09	I did say 'for the most part'. There are a few ok pop-punkish bands, TBS for example. But overall it's not the genre for me and the majority of pop-punk bands may be fun if you like the genre but the lack of imagination is despicable. I know some people like 8 but not me I'm afraid...very average.
StreetlightRock 09.14.09	hes right through 95% of all music is shithouse
qwe 09.14.09	opinions guys : (
PuddlesPuddles 09.14.09	The hell - Catch Without Arms is great
Carnifex 09.14.09	Pop punk is catchy and is a guilty pleasure of most of us, enough said.
qwe 09.14.09	^ no
FadeToBlack 09.14.09	exactly. anyway, question should be why does deathcore (and metalcore) exist
bodiesinflight57 09.14.09	The list could very easily have 'metalcore' or 'deathcore' substituted in but let's not be pedantic
R6Rider 09.14.09	list is true except for 10
austin888 02.17.11	I loved 3.
dixoncocks 02.17.11	so kids like you can complain about it.
andcas 02.17.11	get it right. pop punk rules.
OutOfMyself 02.17.11	This Time Next Year. your argument is now invalid
IAmHollywood 02.17.11	anyway, question should be why does deathcore (and metalcore) exist Converge, Between The Buried And Me, The Chariot, Poison The Well
andcas 02.17.11	i'd like to know what bodies even considers pop punk. good and bad.
Dryden 02.17.11	nothin exists
FromDaHood 02.17.11	Pop-punk has some pretty awesome albums. And it makes hella dollars.
Kris. 02.17.11	the ergs! are so awesome guys
Josh D. 02.17.11	I hate when people say things like "You just aren't listening to GOOD pop punk". No, it sucks.
HaydenDyson 02.17.11	A day to remember and blink 182 are the catchiest bands ever even if there not that good they still are enjoyable.
andcas 02.17.11	listen to any band on run for cover records. excellent pop punk.
SowingSeason 02.17.11	pop-punk doesn't suck at all. you just need to stop listening to shitty music and find the right bands
Josh D. 02.17.11	"A day to remember and blink 182 are the catchiest bands ever even if there not that good they still are enjoyable." Jesus fuck, you're wrong about everything.
Scoot 02.17.11	pop-punk does not exist it faithfully insists
andcas 02.17.11	http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DmWbq9f2-E get on it.
