go listen to neutral milk hotel you edgy faggot
How did this album of all things hit number one.
Shows how much blink fans will accept any trash their band feeds them.
ARE THEY THE SAVIORS OF MUSIC
>>66316219
Pop punk is my favorite genre, I'm glad to see rap finally getting taken off the top of the charts. To be honest, I like the album but it is overproduced. It is a step in the right direction for Blink though, and it doesn't make you miss Tom DeLonge very much. I like the Warped Tour kiddie bands more nowadays though, but only pop punk.
I would send them flowers I swear

Pop punk is still punk IMO. They haven't fully slipped out of pop punk territory at least. Fall Out Boy is a prime example of a once-great pop punk band that found the punk part too onerous, and just became a very glossy, produced pop rock trash band. They sold their soul to stay on the charts, then the band that inspired them shows up and blows the fuck out of one of rap's biggest artists.

It's mindless, unpretentious fun which is what punk is at the end of the day.
At least it's not like metalcore where it tries to take the worst parts of metal and jam them together.
>>66316393
you cant make music for mass appeal and sales and still be punk
>>66316442
you're trying way too hard
>>66316462
AND IM SO SORRRRRYYYY

Punk is about being as contrarian as possible. It is the definition of pretentious.
>>66316550
Not the Ramones.
>HEY HO
>LET'S GO
>HEY LITTLE GIRL, I WANNA BE YOUR BOYFRIEND
Do you miss me yet, /mu/?
>>66316642
The Ramones is not punk.

What? Pop-punk exploded in the late 90's. If anything, someone being a fan of it implies that they're in their late 20's or so.

that part
>>66316250
I wished them well, it seems a lot of people did
>>66316219
>that fucking shithouse """""song""""" charted #1 for 9 weeks
Jesus fuck people get some taste.
>Blink 182
These old sacks are still around? Fuck me....we're living in very dark times.
>>66316408
I know it kind of is, but it's not quite that simple. Look at most new pop punk bands; they are all on indie labels. Blink 182 is really one of the few HUGE bands that are pop punk.
>>66316413
That looks like a metalcore fan. That doesn't remind me of anything vaguely similar to how a typical pop punk fan would dress.
>>66316485
You can, but it's not easy and therefore many bands changed once it went out of the mainstream.

I think Reddit is too pretentious to like pop punk. If anything, /mu/core is reddit. I only came to this board to gloat and post about pop punk.
>>66316710
>>66316740
People retroactively changed the definition of punk to be more restrictive, because they expected everything to sound like hardcore did back in the 80s.
>Le 90s kids are nowadays married 30-somethings going straight to the midlife crisis
>extremely popular 90s band releases a new album about having fun in summer
>Nostalgia hits the 90s kids hard they proceed to stream the album from spotify to remember simpler and better times
Its not rocket science why this album is so successful.
No one was going to rate Blink over Drake and they still toppled him
I bet Tom is sad missing out on all that money while he writes shitty books about UFOs that don't sell
>>66316710
>>66316740
Yeah. They are.
Countless publications consider them as the forefathers of punk. Just because they aren't HARDXXXCORE enough for you doesn't mean you can just disregard their contribution to and involvement in the genre.
>>66319127
>publications
Who? Time magazine? Spin? Rolling Stone?
Who gives a shit what they say? The Ramones were,at best, garage rock, but mostly just dirty NYC rock.
>>66319212
>Who gives a shit what they say?
Nigga who gives a fuck what YOU say? They're punk, get over it.
>>66319212
Holy shit the Ramones were the first band to call themselves punk therefore they are punk
And they have the definitive punk look, attitude, and sound. If you think the Ramones aren't punk you're an idiot
>>66319259
>nigga
I'm not listening to you, child.
>punk fans too dumb to understand how genres work
why are they all like this?
>>66319276
Ok, you win. You are right.
>>66319303
I know, just look at this fucking clown
>>66316710
>>66316642
The Ramones' lyrics are the best type of punk lyrics: ironic, detached, and slyly subversive. I mean, they sang songs about Nazis and beating kids with humor and irreverence.
They're like a Beach Boys that never had a Brian
>>66319353
Blink 182 > The Beach Boys
I don't understand why people get so nostalgic about the trash they listened to in middle school. I listened to a ton of metalcore when I was younger but I don't get a huge desire to hear comeback albums by those bands.
>>66319392
I think it is the fact that some people never grew out of the music they listened to as kids. They are just stuck in that mindset.
>>66316260
I love pop punk, but i think your comment is going to push me over the edge into the bleak and cold embrace of suicide
>>66319303
It's just dick waving. Metal fans don't do this. I never hear people say Disturbed isn't metal, for example.
>>66319392
That's because metalcore IS trash. I actually like the newest wave of pop punk bands even better than Blink.
>>66319695
What about it? I wonder if /mu/ likes Knuckle Puck, The Story So Far, State Champs, Real Friends, Four Year Strong (more like easycore), etc.? They can't be labeled as a "mainstream" genre anymore.
>>66319885
>It's just dick waving. Metal fans don't do this. I never hear people say Disturbed isn't metal, for example.
Actually a better example would be fans of modern metal saying that Black Sabbath wasn't metal.
>>66319392
That's because metalcore was shit.
>>66319459
Why do you feel the need to grow out of music? I never understood /mu/'s obsession with this.
>>66320043
Are you the same as you were in middle school?
>>66320043
>>66319885
Pop punk and metalcore are both shit, don't pretend your underage trash is better than any other underage trash.
>>66316393
pop punk has always seemed like an oxymoron to me

What is the appeal of pop punk? The only pop punk album I've heard and enjoyed is Joyce Manor's debut. Everything else I've heard is really simplistic melodies repeated over and over again for way too long. Top that off with terrible lyrics and you have a recipe for a genre whose only strength is it's ability to induce migraines.
who the fuck buys music anymore?
what did they sell about a good 10k?
>>66320101
Nah punk is ideally pop too
Early punk like the Ramones, the Sex Pistols, and Richard Hell, were just back to the basics rock and roll with distorted guitars and edgier themes.
It was later that everyone decided punk was about being angry and hating everything and that it should sound like watered down metal
>>66320538
they moved 172.000 units
>>66320243
How the fuck is this a really good pop-punk album?
>>66320054
No, but my interests don't magically change over night.
>>66316219
such a trash album
not a single good song on it
i love blink but this is like green day's awful trilogy, shambles desu senpai
>>66316710
topkek my friend
