"This is definitely the most mature, nuanced and probably honest pop punk album I've ever heard.







In terms of maturity, the only things that really come close would be Yellowcard"

it bear repeating, but this band reminds me of these lyrics:



"Lookin around, wondering what became of what I once knew



Pop-punk mutation lacking passion and ringing untrue



There's something wrong with this picture- Hot Topic setting standards for you to consume, for you to consume



Many of the roots can be traced back to where we're standing



There were people just like me and you who never thought of landing



In a place bands get squeezed out to make room for the Generation Blink-182 rip offs



Is there something I don't get?



How do you buy into that



Am i just getting older, losing touch?



Is there something I don't see?



Shaking my head in disbelief



Am I just getting older, losing touch?



Went to the Vans Warped Tour last weekend



Was an outsider looking in



All the kids were buying so much crap, amidst the generation gap



It was so fucking hot- it sucked



Wanted a beer- it cost six bucks



Seen so many faces throughout the years



As soon as they come, disappear



And now I watch this band with black makeup



And silly synchronized jumps



In a gigantic parking lot



In the Wal-Mart of punk rock"

No pop punk is mature. That's why they play pop punk.

Duh.

i agree with cygnatti :D

and I enjoy this album but I wouldn't say they are the most mature pop punk band. they deal with mature themes and ideas, sure, but just because they talk about being older doesn't mean they are automatically "mature"

and emo pop is so ambiguous because "emo" as a genre is already so ambiguous.

I would say this person sums up "emo-pop" really well though https://www.reddit.com/r/Emo/comments/4913pt/emo_history_lesson_part_5_emo_pop/

Looking at the "essentials" that post lists, it really does just seem like pop punk.

FOB, Taking Back Sunday, and even Brand New's Deja I agree with you on, but The Promise Ring and Jimmy Eat World's "Clarity" and The Get Up Kids are all distinctively not pop punk

this album isn't really my thing musically anymore but the general worry of wasted potential and wasted life in the lyrics is relatable af
