POP/PUNK is dead

Pop/punk is dead? Really?
There is:

Green Day
Sum 41
Blink-182
Mayday Parade
Boys Like Girls
Fall Out Boy
Simple Plan
NOFX

and they're all freaking awesome, so I don't think pop/punk is dead.

I am so sick of threads like these. How can a genre be dead when people are still making music for it? Duh....

Genres don't die they just become irrelevant.

In punk-pop's case it always has been.

I guess this is growing up.

Well, the bands you mention above do indeed suck. But some of that positive California stuff wasn't too bad. Pennywise put out some good tunes.

I do admit that Squirtgun were/still is a guilty pleasure of mine.

That sad part is the scene is decided by little emo kids calling bands like boys like girls pop punk... the genre is so vague now adays

Pop is what's on the charts, not exactly a genre per se. At one time the stuff that makes it on the charts was listener-freindly - not any more it's just offensively lousey. I mean it is still not very sophisticated or rough like certain types of "heavy music."

Punk is a sub-genre of Rock n Roll, aka Punk Rock. During the 70's in the UK Punk started off as music that made it on the charts. It became progressively more and more agressive. Punk had slipt off into different directions Hardcore (Punk), New Wave and Post-Punk. It was during the hardcore years that it really became anti-Pop.
