Quite possibly the stupidest preppy trend ever. Makes girls look stupid and guys look decidedly gay. Acceptable if you go to a preppy high school, but if you're any older, you just look like a tool.
Preppy poser girl: Hi.
Me: Dude, we're in law school! Why the hell do you pop the collar? You're such a tool.

Not considered to be Punk music. Punk died, but lives on in music that claims only to be rock βnβ roll plain and simple and straight from the garage. Punk exists now only in spirit and is not something you can purchase at Hot Topic.
Among Christian lore there is supposed to be a Christ, and then in various sects of Christianity there is the Anti-Christ. Well in this caseβ¦
Punk = Christ
Pop-Punk = Anti-Christ
Oh, and Rancid is not Punk just because Tim Armstrong had a Mohawk.
I blame the Descendants for the lame format later to be established as the current template for pop-punk artistsβ success.

Politics in media.
(what's with this "Definition must have at least 20 letters and 3 words." bullshit?)
"Pop Culture is politics in media" - some guy on some message board

An oxymoron, said to be non-existant by "hardcore punks." A easier to handle version of the genre punk.
MxPx, Starstruck, Avert 13, Fall Out Boy.

A very good music genre or subgenre. Instrumentals sound like a watered down punk, vocals sound somewhat like pop. People who listen to this do NOT shop at Hot Topic as assumed by many. People who listen who listen to this dress either white ghetto, preppy, sporty, or just jeans and a shirt. Sadly the famous Pop Punkers try to look punk :(
This music is not listened to by weird, dressed in all black, rejected, suicidal FREAKS. Although those freaks often tend to make fun of and bash Pop-Punk, all I have to say to them is get a life and stop slitting your wrists. The only reason Pop-Punkers "sellout" to MTV is because they arent afraid to show their faces on mtv, because unlike real punks they are not freaks.
Examples of really awesome Pop-Punk bands: blink-182, Sum 41
pretty good Pop-Punk bands: yellowcard, simple plan, good charlotte, new found glory
btw Millencolin (skatepunk) and Green Day (punk) and offspring (punk) are really awesome too.

A terrible genre of music so shallow, kiddie pools look 6 metres deeper. Not even hell wants this crap.
Give me a reason why K-pop doesn't succ.
