[Based on a video project I'm working on of classic Punk albums. Ask me for details].
First of all, Punk was originally a stripped-down form of ROCK that focused on social and political, (often anarchic), topics. I don't see politics in Pop Punk, just teenage bull-angst. Both may be energetic, but Punk was aggressive.
"Pop" is largely a shortening of "Popular" (and the charts help to prove that). Punk wasn't (and should never have been) intended for accessibility and easy chart access.
What do you think?
