"Pop punk" is not an oxy moron. Pop punk just describes the genre of punk that is more easy listening, less aggressive and with more melody than some of the harder types of punk. Examples: The descendents, NOFX and the Ramones. People who claim that it is an oxy moron are thinking too hard about it.

Punk-Pop. Usually 3 minute blasts of pure, thrashy melody. The Buzzc*cks epitomise everything that's great about this genre. End of.
