The only punk bands i considered PUNK were Green Day, Sum 41 and Blink 182. But i've grown out of Punk and moved on.
You never were into punk if those are they only punk bands you can list.
Pop Punk is nothing at all like Punk.
Hate to play devil's advocate here to bands like Sum 41, Green Day and Blink 182, but tell The Ramones that pop punk is nothing at all like punk.
Honestly, pop sensibilities have always been tied to rock and roll. And punk rock is essentially an update to rock and roll. Pop isn't a four letter word, the problem with bands like Blink 182 and Sum 41 is not that they incorporate these sensibilities, but that they take any of the bite out of it.
