A cultural and aesthetic mind-state that prioritizes making money, even as an “underground” or “radical” creator. The work isn’t made for money, but it’s the money that matters the most.

to display fear, cowardice, trepidation, and a yellow stripe that starts at the base of your shoulder blade and beelines straight down toward your spine, when you're confronted by an aggressive and intimidating person who calls you out. To run in the opposite direction with your tail between your legs when aggressively confronted.
The ghetto hamster confronted Lee in the dark alley and demanded his wallet and all of its contents. Lee's knees began to quiver, accompanied by a sudden backdoor gush in his skivvies. Lee definitely punked down to the mulignan that day.

Bands that MTV pushes on teenagers in the hopes that they can gain some credability. Usually catergorized by wearing too much eye make-up, having funky hair colors, and overall trying to basically look punk. They are pure image and nothing else, and using them to make yourself sound punk really is quite stupid.
Good Charlotte, The Used, Fall Out Boy, Simple Plan, Something Corporate, Bowling For Soup, etc.

it's a term used to name the music style of bands like Green Day, Blink 182, Good Charlotte, or Simple Plan.
This bands were influenced by the skatepunk bands like Bad Religion, Nofx, Pennywise, etc. They made the songs catchier so it would become more listenable to the mainstream audience therefore more popular. That's where the name pop-punk comes from.
Being mainstream music has caused the rejection of this music by other punkrockers who are against the mainstream and corporate music.
Nowadays pop-punk is influating other bands to create new styles of music like rock-pop or new hardcore-pop better known to the audience as emo music
Green Day, Blink 182, Sum 41, Good Charlotte, Simple Plan are the best examples of pop-punk

a sub genre of punk which was spearheaded by bands like blink-182, The Offspring, and Green Day. these are real pop punk bands. they are often called posers, but that is just because they are constantly being copied by bands like Simple Plan, Avril Lavigne, Good Charlotte, and Bowling for Soup
maybe blink 182's untitled album and American Idiot weren't punk, but back in the day these bands were real pop-punk
Simple Plan: (whiney voice) I'm just a kid, and life is a nightmare!!!
blink-182 fan: screw you, listen to some real music
