{{trope}}
'''Pop Punk''' is [[Punk Rock]] at its most accessible.

Perhaps the first ever Pop Punk band were [[The Ramones]], who melded the simplicity of rock'n'roll with breakneck speed, but maintained enough pop sensibilities to achieve great acclaim and cult status.

Other bands, namely the Descendents, played a significant part in the influence of bands in Southern California who made up the 90s Punk Revival - [[Bad Religion]], Pennywise, [[NOFX]], [[The Offspring]], [[Rancid]].

Bands like this played a large part in influencing [[Green Day]], who premiered at 92 Gilman Street, Oakland, a renowned all ages venue. Before long, the radio was full of bands like [[Blink-182]] and Sum 41.

Today, Pop Punk is past its peak in terms of commercial success, though [[Emo Music|scene emo]] bands usually also qualify as pop-punk too.

In order to dodge the classification, many Pop Punk bands claim to be "[[Power Pop]]" instead. [[Blatant Lies|Don't believe them]].
