I started listening to Blink in 96 but was already into plenty of other pop punk bands in the few years before that. I'm not sure how that contributes to the discussion, so don't ask.

Well MANY people would argue that punk has been part of the mainstream since it really "began" with bands like the Ramones, the Clash, and the Sex Pistols. Urban is implying that since these bands were in the mainsteam, these bands were pop-punk. Violent, you were implying that pop-punk is itself a sub-genre of punk. I am just pointing this out because it is important to this argument.

For me? I think that pop-punk is a terrible sub-genre (much like post-grunge) and blink was one of the bands that became the face of this genre, although not a pioneering member.

I think that's a fair assessment, thanks man...

Hopefully, as alot of people have said, we'll still be talking about Mastodon.
Also, Devin Townsend. With the release of his last two albums, it's a possibility. Also, the next two that are both set for release next May sound very promising.
Also, Wolfmother, Lamb Of God, Black Label Society, Machine Head and Slipknot (unfortunately).

Aaaaand just in time!

All points invalid because both of those bands are terrible!
