The new era of power pop is Weezer, The Killers and one-off bands like Tinted Windows. Some would even throw Foxy Shazam in there, or Free Energy.
Power pop need not have any kind of restrictive sound. It's just pop that's louder than the Beatles. These qualify...

Some of In Flames' music is just as good as anything Big Star ever put out. And I'm only just starting to like Killswitch again, but they have their moments. Either way, regardless of quality, melodic death metal and melodic metalcore are two genres that are as much pop as metal. Which was my point.
