Lookout! records has a long history of traditional Ramones-style punk. When hardcore began becoming popular, this type of music was termed "pop punk" because, while much of the punk atitude was the same, it had a much catchier, less angry sound. The connection between Lookout! pop punk and the Ramones is very strong, and is seen not only in their musical style but in their attire, Ramones references in songs, and the fact that several of the bands have covered entire Ramones albums. Well known Lookout! pop punk bands include The Mr. T Experience , whose newer work has branched off into indie pop, The Groovie Ghoulies, whose songs are usually about monsters, The Queers, who sound like a combination of The Ramones and The Beach Boys, and The Lilingtons , who like to sing about high school and comic books.
The other, newer subgenre to be called punk originated with bands like NOFX and Lagwagon, and became popular with the band blink-182. It is sometimes known as So-Cal punk , or skate punk. This kind of punk is generally considered by fans of most other punk genres to be a sellout of the original punk ethos. However, its musical style can be traced directly to the Lookout! bands which preceded it, and from there to The Ramones. Many of the current crop of So-Cal pop punk bands cite these bands as important influences in their own music. Some bands in the Pop punk scene however, notably NOFX and Pennywise, profess a love for American hardcore bands such as The MisfitsFor the movie, see The Misfits (movie). A fictional band called The Misfits appears in the animated series Jem. The Misfits were a punk rock group formed in 1977 at the height of the punk rock movement--in the town of Lodi, New Jersey, and led by singer G, Black FlagBlack Flag can refer to: Black Flag is a punk rock band.

So-Cal pop punk really came in two waves. The biggest success stories of the first wave of American pop punk have been Green Day, blink-182 and The OffspringThe Offspring are a popular American punk rock band consisting of vocalist and guitarist Dexter Holland, Kevin 'Noodles' Wasserman (also on guitar), bassist Greg K. and Ron Welty on drums (pre 2003) replaced by Atom Willard on drums (post 2003). On March. All of these bands share a similar sound that includes thrashy guitar choruses, chuggy verses and radio-friendly melodies. Some of the bands, however, have incorporated uncommercial elements in their music such as swearing and American PiePublic reference to bodily functions such as urination and defecation is taboo in many cultures and thus arouses intense anxiety in many people. For this reason, there is a whole sub-genre of humour, toilet humour (or bathroom humour based around excretio style humour. The second wave of So-Cal pop punk took advantage of the success won by the previous wave of bands and many new but similar bands were formed including Bowling For Soup, Sum 41, Good Charlotte. These bands have increasingly gained mainstream popularity through MTV and other outlets.
Pop punk is similar to Emo music. Emo is a mixture of pop, rock and punk-generally with a catchy and uplifting melody backing it.
