Russel Coight Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 This is pretty close to the general pop punk sound. Less bright obviously but still. Great song. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and @Ghent said something about how Alk3 is too depressing to be pop punk because pop punk should exclusively be fun time summer jams or whatever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll never forgive Feldmann for the stain he's put on the genre. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely think that's a straight up pop punk song. Could easily be a New Found Glory song with a more polished sound. Alkaline Trio have loads of pop punk songs IMO, but their albums are more varied when it comes to their sound. Kinda like Neighborhoods from blink to an extent. There's some pop punk and there's other shit on the same album. Alkaline Trio's sound isn't as polished as most other pop punk bands. They're more raw like blink from the Dude Ranch era or other pop punk bands from the middle to late 90's. Songs like the Torture Doctor and This Addiction are just as pop punk as I Won't Be Home for Christmas by blink. Broken Wings is as pop punk as Green Day. Eating Me Alive reminds me of This is Home by blink cause of the new wave vibes blended with pop punk. Mercy Me is just as pop punk as Man Overboard by blink. They're definitely a pop punk band IMO. They also shit all over MGK. Crimson is one of my favourite ever albums. MGK has 2-3 decent songs and then one great song on his album. I also think needs to be writing more albums of this style of music to even be on this list. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a varied album. That's how I feel about Alkaline Trip's catalogue. Every album of theirs has some pop punk tracks then the rest of the tracks are more slower new wave, goth kinda stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghent Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 1 minute ago, Ry-Bread said: Idk maybe I need to broaden my definition of "pop punk", but to me they should be insanely catchy songs that could be played on popular radio stations to a wide demographic. Stuff that crosses that barrier into mainstream worthy, aka ATST/WMAA/First Date. By that standard I don't even really consider most of Untitled/Neighborhoods "pop punk" in the traditional sense. So in terms of what I would realistically expect to hear on a pop hits radio station, it would totally be MGK. Exactly, Alkaline Trio is completely lacking the "pop" in pop punk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
