To be honest, i hate the term pop-punk. Its a massive oxymorron. Punk is the anti-pop, so the two words should never be put together. But it does, and there's nothing i can do about it. *sigh*
To be honest a lot of 'emo' sounds exactly the same as 'pop-punk', so it never went away. I have heard MTV (most ironic channel name ever) say that 2009 is the year of pop-punk. This is because the sales in 'emo' is going down, so the cycle starts again. In a few years time it will be nu-metal and goth-lite, again. Its what happens.
I'm just not looking forward to being looked down on again, for being a girl with a mohawk, and it being presumed that I think Green Day is total punk. Yey, lucky me. This year will be another year for the underground, the Dip Dap, Shortbus Window Lickers and Middle Finger Salute.

No, not really. MTV doesn't even really play videos anymore. Even when it was the 'fad' in the early 2000's, they didn't even play many videos. I remember the crappy videos they played on All Things Rock and they weren't even relative.
None of the mainstream pop-punk bands that had an explosion of sorts ever did well on MTV. The twist that emo gave the genre really took off because the fashion is far more user friendly.

The only thing about the pop-punk thing of the late 90s/early 00s was the amount of s*** that came out. I hated most of it.
Blink and GC were the only two I put up with, I hated Green Day and their attitude.
MTV is no highlight of anything, not music and definately not TV. I mean if I wanted to watch back-to-back showings of The Hills, I would have just got a lobotomy.
Thank you Sony. Thank you for coining the term 'emo' and selling it to emotional f***-tards, known as teenagers. Pretend that the music is new and exciting, when in fact it is not different that ANYTHING before it.

"Emo" was a joke that the kids in the scene started and sadly it just 'stuck' as something people morphed into a genre.
I've loved Green Day since 1992 and it kicked me in the gut when the 'explosion' happened in the early part of the decade. I'm less bitter because I've grown up but I still twitch a little when people lump bands that aren't legit in the pop-punk genre. Including Blink. As they were never accepted within the scene and therefore they turned it around and made it to the mainstream.
I'm just happy to still have NFG and the absolutely fabulous bands to come out of the birth of pop punk in the late 80's. I don't have to fight for cred anymore, being an adult and not feeling the need. It's a weight off my shoulders.

Green Day started that though. Billie Joe is a pompous git. At least Blink were good to their fans.
pop-punk= rebellion that sells.

Green Day has always been tight with my boys in Screeching Weasel, so I've never had any problem with them. Since Billie got off the junk, he's changed a whole lot at very least.
Blink does understand that they have to cherish their fans since Mark probably vividly remembers being booed off the stage!

Screaching weasel is good, and although I hated GD i did repect them at the start. Then they got f****** stupid.
I personallt think of the buzzcocks, screeching weasel and the queers as 'pop punk'. Blink and GC are pop-rock in my opinion

The Queers are my absolute favorite band in the entire world :)
Pop punk got a bit of a start with The Descendants but The Queers really ran off with it. Screeching Weasel rides a fine line between pop-punk and just plain punk rock, they can go either way depending on the album. I almost swallowed my tongue when I found out that they're selling Ben Weasel's "Punk is a Four Letter Word" on Ebay/Amazon for 70 dollars.
