uh yeah it does. brand new is so ridiculously influential in pop punk and pop punk and alt rock

associated genres, that they (along with a new found community appreciation of 90s rock) inspired a

whole new trend in pop punk by themselves - so called 'indie punk.'



this trend is responsible for numerous, numerous bands switching from pop punk and into 'indie punk.'

it is characterized by rougher production, lower/less whiny vocals, heavy focus on dynamics and

introspective lyrics, the incorporation of grunge and emo.

i think pinkerton was more influential in that regard than any brand new album.

Album Rating: 3.5

yeah, because it's more than 10 years older than it, lakes. not a fair comparison.

the genesis of that sound is in pinkerton though. brand new didn't invent anything.

Album Rating: 3.5

that doesn't change the fact that it's influential or not.



blink-182 is wildly influential, but they didn't invent anything new or interesting from pop punk. and when they actually did do something different (s/t), no one followed their lead.

it's also a blink-182 wank site, but then, the site was originally a blink-182 fan site so ofc .



people got so upset when someone posted a 58% review for neighborhoods, and for stupid reasons too.
