yeah, but Ned, you don't like anything now!

I think the more people wrongly simplify my stance the more I'll be amused. ;-)

For me, I suppose it all stems from my soft spot for NOFX. :B

I like Blink-182 - what i've heard is fun and catchy. Dont underatnd whythey're bing accused of/seen as a sign of decline of wetsern civ.

It's worth noting at this point -- I don't think anyone made this distinction earlier -- that Avril Lavigne did not write "Sk8er Boi," or "Complicated."
and Jess/Dubplate... I stand by this:
>> not much of a historical reference point for the "sound" of the Backstreet Boys <<
explain the "?!?!?!?!?!!!???????."

Sum 41 is fantastic. "Still Waiting" might be pop-punk's shining moment - of the last five years, at least.

you know i used to think avril looked like a racoon, but now i fancy the pants off of her. she just looks like she needs a hug.

yeah, anybody who likes them but hates ALL the pop-punk out there now is probably doing it based on some ass-backwards principle.

what if you're like me, and you have a token pop-punk band that you like? wouldn't that be seen as dodgy here? (not that i give a fuck, but like ned, most of it just plain annoys me) for the record, my token pop-punk band is blink 182, they can craft some pretty good melodies out of about 3 notes, plus they're fun and danceable.

eh, that's cool, though I wouldn't be me if I didn't say you shouldn't check out Good Charlotte's, Kelly Osbourne's and the All-American Rejects' latests.

it's the people who only like pop-punk if it happened within the correct timespan that bug me.

Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Monday, 23 June 2003 00:15 (twenty years ago) link

amazing thread

(mostly the sidekicks record just made me really want to listen to the cymbals eat guitars album from last year, not that they necessarily sound alike, though maybe there's a case to be made for the former being pop-punk/indie and the latter being indie/emo)

Wondering how any serious journalist or pundit tricked into promoting the Iraq War lives with the knowledge they were less skeptical of an international conflict than the tracklist for Rock Against Bush pic.twitter.com/fWtxKtZVps

You wrote for The New York Times and were further behind the curve than Sum 41
