CULTURAL IMPACT

Around the flip of the millennium, pop-punk started out to leak into popular culture, with artists once in a while soundtracking films or making cameo appearances. As the last decade rolled on, pop punk and popular culture have become inextricably intertwined, the style transferring out of the alt sphere and turning into mainstream in its personal right.

Pop-punk artists made cameos in films and on TV, their songs soundtracking proms and romantic moments and breakups. Mainstream stars determined themselves wrapped up in pop-punk, too, at the hands of singers. Simple Plan were the perfect band to have it in the background of your mental breakdown, lighter than Sum 41 but heavier than Bowling For Soup, it is the perfect band to start of your pop punk marathon.

Like many cultural movements, the origins of punk started out with images, sounds, and expressions. Punk rock became a reaction to some thing outdated – an antidote to an ego-centric and overly-produced modern rock era. While it by no means pretty emerged as a complete mainstream movement, the sheer ardour of punk helped it to locate a right away target target market withinside the marginalised and misunderstood.
