i dont see any energy in any pop-punk songs. that includes bands like Stink 182 and good charlotte. Ya they're making money and selling albums, but they're completely selling out. They just want their money. they dont care about their music. the people who like those kind of bands probably will refuse good bands like Black Flag, The Dead Kennedys, and Minor Threat. i guess pop-punk and mtv in a way is a good thing. it keeps real punk in the non-mainstream. Than again, its bad because most punk like anti-flag and pennywise and bad religion have a good message in their music. if they became popular, that'll be good so their message gets to peopl. but pop-punk gets the attention of the masses. i dont mind popular bands or people liking them. i just like to listen to bands that most people havn't even heard of. it sorta makes me individual when it comes to interests. as i said i dont mind popular bands, its just most popular bands tend to sell out
