Still a genre.
No. I'll explain this ~real~ slow for you
It's a- are you listening? Ok, here we go!~
It's basic description is a song that "combines elements of punk rock with pop music"
It's not a genre. It is two genres that are made easier to say by combining them.
It's not a singular genre.
It's not a singular genre, it shares elements of TWO genres, so therefore it fits into the description of TWO genres.
So instead of saying "It's a pop song that has punk elements." You say "It's a pop-punk fusion."
Got me?
i find it hilarious you can't deal with someone disagreeing with your tastes
No I can deal with it I just feel sad that people enjoy these generic mediocre bands when there are MUCH better ones out there that just aren't supported.
in regards to the comic on the last page, since when is Blink 182 old punk? When I think old punk/pop-punk I think of the ramones, soft cell, etc.
That's the point.
