A Genre of punk started in the early 70's by a man named Glenn Danzig with his punk band the misfits. Catagorized by love for things of macabre nature. Usually dead things. Often mis catagorized with horrorbilly and deathrock. The genre is generally underground but holds several succesful shows each year the most noteable in Germany. Although many people who listen to this type of punk are not considered TRUE punks. Most will listen to The Misfits before moving on to something else. A pick up in the genre with recent pop-punk or emo bands has casted a bad image on the genre. You can usually tell a horror punk by the trademark devilock.
you like horror punk or you dont.

Nobody here has once said that Pop-Punk usually involves harmonies, and being creative with different progressions. The only reason the word "Pop" is in front of punk, is because melodies are a lot more structured and clearer. It's just music that is easy on the ears, and usually talks about love, failure, and life. Much like the golden 50's, Pop-Punk is the equivelent to doo-wop bands like the early Beatles and The temptations. Though there can be many bad Pop-punk bands who sing about going to school and riding skateboards, it is just a form of music for the youth. I just say that back in the day, it was ok to sing about love, but what happened?
Kid 1:I really enjoy these Pop Punk bands.
Kid2: I know! Those 3 part harmonies are ridiculous!

A punk into emo punk music. And yes emo is punk music.
emo - short for "emotional." Emo is a broad title that covers a lot of different styles of emotionally-charged punk rock. Emo is a sub genre of hardcore punk music.
The The first wave (1985β1994) of emo music came from bands like Rites of Spring, Moss Icon, Nation of Ulysses, Dag Nasty, Shudder To Think, Fire Party, Marginal Man, and Gray Matter,
The second wave (1994β2000) had bands such as The Get Up Kids, Jimmy Eat World and Texas Is the Reason.
The third wave (2000βPresent) has bands such as AFI, Alexisonfire, A Static Lullaby, Brand New, Coheed and Cambria, Fall Out Boy, Finch, From Autumn To Ashes, From First To Last, Funeral for a Friend, Hawthorne Heights, Matchbook Romance, My Chemical Romance, Silverstein, Something Corporate, The Starting Line, Taking Back Sunday, The Used, Thrice, and Thursday.
One of the biggest problems of emo today is punk has abandon the music and culture/movement it created. Although many of these emo bands emerged from legitimate punk rock scenes, they grew to be despised by veteran fans of punk who considered the genre to be fake. So it leads emo to be used by the mainstream music industry and society. Many punks are judgmental and critical of emo just the way people of the past have been of other punk music and punk movents. These veteran punk are in no way different.
That is not what punk is suppose to be about. Its suppose to be oppen to diffrent thing and individualism. There is problems with emo music and the emo movent but unstead of veteran punks being help to these trouble teens, They become critical and judgmental.
If this is what punk has become then maybe it should be dead. Punk instead of being help to emo music and the emo movent it has become apart of the problem in many ways.
Lets keep true punk and true punk ideals alive.
Guy one. That punk listens to emo punk music.
Guy two. He must be an Emo Punk.
