"pop-punk" is a fake and gay late invention that makes no sense. Bands like Green Day and blink-182 in the late 90s were referred to as 'punk-pop', that is to say punk-flavoured pop bands. SW, Nofx, Descendents, et. al are melodic punk bands, but punk was always melodic by default. These styles are distinct, but retarded millennials normalized lumping in both as 'pop-punk' starting in the 2000s

The Ramones started punk and are way poppier than any of those bands you stupid faggot. Undertones, Buzzcocks, Misfits, the fucking list goes on
