"pop punk" isn't ripped off of emo, but its a really generic and unoriginal genre.
Its nothing like punk.
Punk (atleast the first wave) was all about anger and energy and going against the mainstream,
but pop punk is basically just pop that tries to sound like punk.
The name of pop punk is a complete oxymoron,
how can something be pop and punk at the some time?
They're polar opposites.
If you listen to a simple plan song, it really doesnt sound much different than a jonas brothers song.
Does it?
Its produced, whiny, and it sounds like every other lame band you hear on the radio.
1)Wich song? You are saying two totally diffrent bands sound exactly the same. Simple Plan, Blink 182, Plus 44 ect.. use the high winny, fake british accent for effect. Or at lest they used to, SP grew up. The Jonas Brother won't, because by my watch, in another 2-3 years they won't be around anymore.
2)Simple Plan has been my favorite band since day 1. My brother turned me on to them when I was 11.
3)Just because they are on the radio means they are posers? I don't think so. It means that a lot of people like them.
4) I hate people who say "oh, so and so is a terrible band. they are so fake. So and So is a lot better." It is all in your tastes. It's like saying that Rap is bad and Country sucks. (They don't.)
5)XjetxblackxmirrorX: So your are calling:
I was going to waste my time and list out every single band starting from 1. But it isn't worth it.
1) i wasnt saying the two bands sound exactly alike, they just both sound whiny and fake with bad lyrics.
and no one knows if these bands will be alive in two or three years.
2) i dont hold it against you for liking them. i just think they suck.
3)being on the radio doesnt MAKE them posers. but they sound like all other mediocre bands on the radio.
(no originality)
4)if a band does sound fake, are you not allowed to say they do?
EDIT- and @tom, my original post was saying pop punk is NOT i ripoff of emo
