To me, I prefer the DNA of the 90s precursors - rather than what it evolved into. That’s the beauty of music tho. To each their hideous own Very well said. I can’t stand the music that it evolved into either. All the pop punk/emo bands that came after blink are absolutely cringeworthy and lame.

Yeah 'modern pop punk' is truly awful, don't think there's a single band that has drawn me in the slightest. Paramore if they count and the MGK album are the only ones 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maddey 188 Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 All time low are fab, what are you talking about Also still slightely annoyed that The Story so Far, Paramore and Neck Deep didn’t get further than first round to be honest Quote Link to post Share on other sites
...Dan... 7354 Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 Are All Time Low considered Modern Pop Punk? they've been releasing music for 15+ years now. I'd say they're pop punk legends now. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Patient #48273 8709 Posted March 29 Author Report Share Posted March 29 I'd say most of the people here consider anything post-2005 to be modern. And then you've got Davey who'd say that anything after 1995 is modern. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

twentytwenty 1393 Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 If you'd ask Greg Graffin every band that's around today is a modern band. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd say they're pop punk legends now. I honestly couldn't even think of any of the names that I've heard so I gave up. They've been around, but they're still more like the modern pop punk/post blink than the prime days Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I’m kinda shocked by that. Like blink covered Screeching Weasel and The Descendents - some of their biggest influences. It’s really not out of the realm of possibility for those to be some of our favourite bands haha. I mean I am a poser, but I’m sure everyone else’s choice was genuine.
