Rank the Pop Punk Bands of our time


Jan Backing Track

Recommended Posts

All this Sum 41 love got me thinking.  Let's not include bands pre Green Day to keep it easy and need more than 1 album (sorry +44).  Putting bands on the fence of "pop punk" in italics.  I found doing 1-10 to be tough, so doing tiers.

 

Tier 1:

Blink, Green Day

Tier 2:

Taking Back Sunday, Brand New

Tier 3:

Offspring, Paramore, The UsedAngels & Airwaves

Tier 4:

Goldfinger, Sum 41, Fall Out Boy, Motion City Soundtrack, Alkaline Trio

Tier 5:

Good Charlotte, Sugarcult, Hoobastank, Panic at the DIsco, Simple Plan, All American Rejects, New Found Glory, Yellowcard

Tier nobody cares:

All Time Low, 5SOS,  Neck Deep, The Hoes

I would consider early P!ATD pop punk because of their influences (Weezer, Green Day, My Chemical Romance), but then they changed things up to the point where they didn't really embody the spirit of the genre anymore.

They were originally a Blink182 cover band, if I remember correctly.

Yes! And the guitarist once said all he wanted to do was learn how to play like Tom.

Not sure what your issue is. A number of the bands they're saying aren't pop punk weren't even in italics.

I thought I was missing something but didn't want to shit on the thread. Thanks for clearing this up.

I guess the main issue is that if you don't even understand what pop punk is, you probably shouldn't be ranking bands in the genre.

yeah, there are hundreds of very popular pop punk bands he's completely skipped in favour of fringe and not really ones, seems super odd to me.
