Not a bad radio pop band for their time. Just wish people would stop affiliating them with punk rock. I don't get it, they're not even close.

I think it's their attitude that is affiliated with Punk, not their music.

Yeah. I know there's that whole generation pop bands trying to be more edgy like good charlotte, yellowcard, blink 182, etc.... I'm just a very adamant punk purist. I think that might be why it bothers me so much. I remember listening to 70s, 80s, and 90s punk when I was in middle school and high school and being the only one listening to it. I still even to this day listen to punk records several times a week. I guess when they got big and everyone got into it I got really upset because its just so watered down compared to the music I love and protect and made the genre as a whole look weak and boring.

more like pop punk

I understand the argument that they are pop punk. But I still don't like using that for them. I like pop punk for stuff like The Ramones, Screeching Weasel, Home Grown, or even Groovie Ghoulies. It's STILL legit punk. It just has a more upbeat/fun feeling at times compared to the more serious or more social/political aimed stuff.

I also listen to The Ramones and sees a lot of similarities between them and Blink....I wouldn't label Ramones a pure punk, more like a way to pop punk.

Agree to disagree
