unlike the 70's, "pop-punk" music today and in the 90's was not classified by rebellion. it was/is classified as having a alternative-(rarely)emorock-pop sound, but pop and alternative dominating the sound mostly. as where punk has an emo-alt-rock sound.do you understand?
as for the bands ...its called a new generation of punk (sum 41, blink-182, all time low etc). they may be different from The Clash, but things change, man. things change. rock was originally elvis, then the beatles, then bon jovi, now its linkin park. why dont you complain about that rather than what is/isnt punk?
as for Green Day, they are kind of old-school punk (attitude wise. maybe music-wise, depends on the album) in a way. they rebeled against George Bush, war, etc in their music. that isnt rebellion? and BTW, green day wasnt pop-punk, except for a few songs from kerplunk! and dookie. maybe they were a mix of alternative and punk in the 90's, but not quite pop-punk most of the time. their music wasnt fast-paced enough.
not a bad poll, though. except the picture. NICE JOB GETTING THE LEAST FLATTERING PICTURE OFBLINK-182!
*edited for adding more reasons*
Besides, using the vocabulary 'punk' to describe popular bands now is out of order. The only true punk was in the 80's and 90's was all about grunge such as Nirvanna and The Smashing pumpkins. The Pixies, The Cure, and even some of Black Sabbath's 80's music is punk, Green Day came out in 1991. They may be described as provactive and rebelious, and have punky songs but not classified in punk music, these days there is really no such thing. Alternative is the correct term for bands as GD and Blink etc
