Punk Pop-Rock
By Debbie Lynn
Punk Pop should not receive the respect it deserves in the world of mainstream music, because if it did, the listeners would
gravitate towards a different musical style that is not considered conventional. The Punk Pop revolution became huge in the 2000s
as the skate culture exploded on the scene in skate parks around the nation.
Punk is a political ideology with a unique aesthetic centered around condemning elitist art, institutions that suppress
expression, capitalism, greedy corporations, and authoritarianism. Punk promotes individualism, and the freedom to express,
without deeming one artistic expression as better than another - these ideas are expressed unabashedly through punk rock, an art
that screams teen rebellion, and alternative artistic expressions.
Punk in America came to a standstill after the rise of disco and then rose again in the mid-1980s after the success of bands like
Nirvana who created a newer, more refined, radio-friendly feel to punk rock music.
Like all music genres there are many variations of Punk Pop, some are polished and play well with a mainstream rock audience, and
some variations are grittier and rawer and not considered radio friendly. And whether Punk Pop artists knew it at the time, they
ended up influencing a culture and motivating kids to pick up guitars to try to recreate the sounds they heard on the radio.
Many of the Punk Pop artists were using instruments which were easy to obtain, abundant and cheap, that could take a beating and
be easily replaced if needed. Punk music is about nonconformity and the instruments they chose were not necessarily mainstream
instruments any more than their style of personal expression.
Due to the excessive cost of pawn shop guitars, many Punk Pop musicians today are using inexpensive, cheaply made imported gear
that costs much less than what their idols spent on instruments.
