I love that song but I've never thought of it as pop punk.

Pop-Punk has always been the same. A huge amount of ****ty bands but some good stuff if you dig, here's a great song released just last year.

maybe it's better of that way, better off to be dead!

most bands today do not settle for a single genre, they move about, seeking which the audience would like and then they'd switch it!

I don't think that its dead! its still a really popular genre that is widely listened to.

Punk is dead. I know there's a lot of things that seem to show this as not being true, but that's because I believe many people view punk as a genre when really it should be viewed as a movement. Like any movement it occured only for a certain period of time and like any good movement it left around remnants after it was gone.

I kinda consider it to have died as a movement around 85-86 with the end of the first wave of Hardcore Punk and the development of thrash metal and crossover thrash and the East Coast hardcore scene growing in prominence and popularity. From there hardcore sort of detatched itself from punk and grew into it's own genre, and even began to have it's own subgenres, such as metalcore, post-hardcore, noise rock, and deathcore. I've met quite a few hardcore kids and scene kids who have absolute zero respect for original punk rock or even older hardcore saying it's "Gay". I'm not saying this is the majority of people who enjoy this music because I am one of the people who do, it's just that to me when attitudes like that have developed anywhere within a scene about it's history, it means that music's time has come.

RIP Punk. You were a poet, prophet, and hero to many

Do you consider punk to be dead? If so why?

For a dead genre you don't seem to want to talk about much else.
