Like with anything, is the definition used by a relatively small number of well-informed purists more valid/accurate/useful than how the term is used by the vast majority of people? I think they're both right. I would consider both Screeching Weasel and The Story so Far pop punk. I also think that in the past, the idea of reasoning with broader terms faced way more resistance than now. Everyone was more elitist with language and they didn't want to endorse the use of imprecise words, but with the passing of time the use of terms in a much wider sense has risen gigantically and it has to do a lot with how society is evolving. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's on them. I think they'd assume Blink or Green Day. Bands closely associated with Weasel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Elisa 3768 Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 Let's be real, someone off the street wouldn't even know what pop punk is so you would just say that you listen to punk rock music. 6 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
