Have you tried the "Punk Goes Pop" albums?
Its mostly a watered-down, more radio-friendly version, and not really "punk" at all. But there are a few good bands who sadly have been branded as "pop-punk". Just remember: punk has nothing to do with pop.
He is not. He is punk/pop/rock. Though he does wear eyeliner (Some times) So do a lot of rock bands.
no of course not!!! DIY and independent bands are very important in punk rock; Avril Lavinge is highly commercial with no punk ideology. Of course, like any music genre, there are sub genres however, Avril lavigne (and all supposedly pop-punk bands) are just in fact pure pop.
The Ready Set is not even close to being punk. The ready set is a pop group. Punk includes bands such as NoFX, Thre Freeze, Gang Green, The F.U's, Dead Kennedies. Etc.
cash cash, but they where called consequence
hawthorn heights is a good one.
New Found Glory are very oldschool pop punk. Man Overboard is new, but also very good. Good Charlotte is amazing, and I'm not sure if Blink-182 is pop punk but they're really awesome too.
Real punk rock, not the pop punk garbage that bands like Green Day or Blink 182 write.
Relient K, Hawk Nelson and This Beautiful Republic are all Christian punk rock bands. Some of TobyMac's songs are considered punk rock as well, but his stuff is mostly pop or hip hop.Some of Switchfoot's older songs like "Company Car" and "Turn Everything Over" might be considered punk rock, also there is a punk praise band called Stellar Kart and a christian pop group called the Afters which have a punk influence.
Blink 182 is a pop punk (or punk pop, whichever you prefer) band. For more information about pop punk/punk pop, see the Related Question below.
When a band has a number of songs that resemble each other. This is somewhat common in pop and punk bands.
