Hey Pill Lady,
Hate the way you talk, cept I wish I had the license to talk that way all the time cause I would if I could. Pop punk= dumbasses from the suburbs playing fast crap that is blatantly about nothing so they can get girls or warped tour, which ever comes first. Poppy punk = post-modern masters satirically commenting on the lack of fun in modern rock music while intellectually stimulating the supposedly cultured audience with music so simple they never thought they’d like it. Pop punk bands have good drummers, and the rest of the instruments are played by dudes hiding behind the amps while real band jumps around like idiots . Poppy punk bands aren’t afraid to make a mistake, it’s part of our commitment to the true rawness of rock and roll’http://asksimi.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.phps sexual energy. Pop punk shows are corporate events with free Yoo-hoo and Monster, attended by thousands of dumb kids who wouldn’t know good music if their parents handed them a box full of mono Smiths records. Poppy Punk shows are in some grimy interstitial space on a neglected side of town in a no name city, playing to a crowd of 30 avant garde college babes. And there’s beer, talk of starting new art projects and a culture of deconstructionist thought.
Basically poppy punk is pop punk for adults.

Bill Bellamy,
An adult can drink in public but doesn’t, and opposed to a kid who can’t drink in public but does. Also kids barf all the time, while adults induce it. Main difference is that adults think it’s fun when they get to sleep in or a movie they like is on TV, while kids like real fun like moshing to fast music with lots of cool yelling like pop punk.
