Speedo Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 11 minutes ago, Ghent said: Ramones- rock, punk rock? Misfits- punk rock buzzcocks- punk rock Yes, they were punk bands but also they were the start of pop punk, being more melody and hook driven than traditional punk rock and that's where the aesthetic of pop punk has its roots. Pop punk takes the attitude and sound of traditional punk and fuses it with a more mainstream appeal in melody, hooks, as well as subject matter. All three of those bands are pop punk because of the focus and direction of their music. Sure,, Misfits went metal after the first few releases and you're right about later days Ramones being more rock and I can see Buzzcocks as evolving into a rock band too but that's just 'cause their British and have that sound. The point is these bands are the start of pop punk because they were the first to go against the traditional punk musical ethos and branch off ... influencing countless bands and spurring the bands that would in turn become influences for the modern bands you associate with pop punk. They aren't mutually exclusive from pop punk, they're just very early iterations of it and OH MY GOD I TOOK THE FUCKING BAIT GOD DAMMIT. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elisa Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 This discussion doesn't make much sense because if you go waaay back in time, the punk genre was still developing as a distinct style of music and you have to apply the label retroactively. If you recognise that pop punk is pop songs written in the punk rock style, then bands like Misfits, Ramones and Buzzcocks would meet the definition. Of course they were not referred to as pop punk at the time, they were just punk. It's the same as referring to the Stooges as proto-punk. No one called them that, they were just a rock band, but they are generally agreed to meet the definition. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
