It's the lyrics that make the difference, not just how raw the guitars sound. Green Day has louder guitars than Clash, are they therefore punkier? I don't think so. Going to Pasalaqua is no more of a good example of punk than Guns of Brixton. What's the point of this discussion anyway? No one makes music to fit a label so why should we classify it. The point is the desire to validate our music interests
Hermione Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 Pretty much a perfect description of Green Day and what makes them great. Dude gets it. Thanks for the Billie foreward too, very good.

Some pop punk bands and I mean some of the really popular ones are just complete fuckin shite. On 5/13/2016 at 1:55 AM, JJ1964 said: I don't understand why pop-punk is such a bad term. Green Day actually fits the text book definition of pop punk perfectly, fast tempo and loud guitars, just like standard punk, but with melodies and more theme based lyrics. Honestly, that is exactly what Green Day is. Just because they do it better than anyone else doesn't mean that isn't what they are. This and this haha
