What Killed POP PUNK?
WHAT KILLED POP-PUNK? New Found Glory, Sum 41, The Story So Far
What killed pop-punk? I look at the rise of pop-punk, the golden years of Blink 182, New Found Glory and Sum 41, and the mini-revival of the 2010s with The Story So Far, Real Friends, etc and ask the big question: what happened?
– 90s pop punk/skatepunk like Descendents, All, Screeching Weasel, The Vindictives, NOFX, and J Church
– How Green Day and The Offspring made pop punk mainstream
– Golden era bands like Fenix TX, Simple Plan, The Starting Line, Unwritten Law and Home Grown and labels like Drive Thru Records
– The rise of the Fueled By Ramen bands like Paramore and Fall Out Boy
– How New Found Glory inspired the 2010s bands like The Story So Far, Real Friends, and Knuckle Puck (and the related “soft grunge” bands like Citizen, Title Fight, and Basement)
– Did emo rap take it’s place? Eg, Lil Aaron, Lil Peep, Wicca Phase Springs Eternal, Lil Lotus, etc
