History of Pop Punk Music

The Ramones

Pop Punk music becomes popular among young generation, because it easy to listen and make the listener feel vibrant and passionate. Pop Punk is music genre that typically combines fast punk tempos, chord changes and loud guitars with pop-influenced melodies and lyrical themes. This article will reveal the history about Pop Punk music. Let's begin!

Origins (early 1970s to late 1980s)

Punk Rock and New Wave
 
The best place to start would be with the punk rock and new wave scene of the late 60s and 70s. The Ramones becomes the pioneer of Pop Punk music on this era. The band set themselves aside from many others bands of their time because of their upbeat, loud, and melodic music.

Hardcore Punk Music Steps In

Descendents

The 1980s saw the dawning of a new music scene that would later spawn the well known straight edge movement. Hardcore music could be classified by it's loud, often angry sounding vocals, distorted guitars and break downs. In between hardcore punk and punk rock sat a few bands that were considered to be of the hardcore genre, but didn't match all of the same characteristics.

Bands like Bad Religion and Descendents mixed punk rock and hardcore even more so together. These bands would play huge roles in defining pop-punk later on, as well as what would later be considered alternative punk.

1990s

Pop Punk Breakthrough

In the mid 90s, pop-punk music began to find itself becoming more and more popular. Green Day released their first album on a major record label, and other bands such as The Offspring and MxPx did the same.

Blink 182

The late 90s to early 2000s was when pop-punk completely hit the surface, becoming absolutely huge. Bands such as Sum 41, New Found Glory, and Simple Plan were among the most played artists on the radio, and Blink-182 was a major success and highly revered with their breakthrough album Enema of the State (1999). 

 

   

 

 2000s to Now

 

Pop Punk Generation

Pop-punk bands also began to fuse their sound with newer traditional hardcore bands, attempting to pay homage to their hardcore roots. Many pop-punk bands of this time showcase double bass drums, breakdowns, and even occasional shouting. Bands that incorporate these have also found themselves often placed in a newer sub-genre of pop-punk called "easycore", which is just pop-punk with the added hardcore influences (Four Year Strong, Set Your Goals, The Story so Far, etc). There are also some bands which blend pop-punk and hardcore even more so together (A Day To Remember, Chunk! No, Captain Chunk!), making them hard to define. 
 

A Day To Remember

Music genres always transform become more creative and unthinkable in the future, so let's make a good music and enjoy it!
