Feature: “What Pop Punk Means To Me”
Posted on AlterThePress.com in June 2011.
Pop Punk - A genre that originates from mixing punk rock with pop sensibility. With its origins going back as the 70’s Punk Rock explosion and 80’s Hardcore, Pop Punk has grown out of its DIY settings to becoming a universally accepted genre, that continues to thrive in the alternative music scene.
For many people Pop Punk has influenced them in a variety of ways. For some it led them to discover new bands and new styles of music. For others it is a gateway into letting go, having fun and influencing the lifestyle they lead and the community they’re apart of.
In honour of Pop Punk Appreciation Day, here at Alter The Press we are taking the opportunity to celebrate the genre and asks a few friends what the genre means to them and their five essential bands.
