shoutouts to Travis Barker for not being a gatekeeping oldhead and helping out a bunch of young artists!

Loved being a part of this ♥

I would just love to add and give props to Avril Lavigne, P!NK, and even Kelly Clarkson for their influence on female pop-punk and pop-rock.

Ive been noticing that 90s-early 2000 lifestyle is making a comeback with teenagers. There are loads of kids skating again for example. The clothes, hairstyles and attitude are also very similar in many ways. So im not too surprised that music of this era is also making a comeback.

This was a great video, very insightful and well put together, but I can't believe there was not a single mention of Avril Lavigne in the entire thing. She was literally the OG alt girl and paved the way for so many guitar driven pop artists. Disney rock is literally a direct continuation of Avril's legacy in the early 00s.

In my opinion the single moment punk pop came back from the dead, was 'I Think I'm Okay' by Machine Gun Kelly, YungBlud & Travis Barker, then differing forms came out which helps the overall ball rolling down the hill.

please never stop making new videos dont ever abandon this channel please its so good!!! i really really appreciate your work thank you!!!

One small thing: I think ignoring Buzzcocks in the very early pop-punk conversation is a tad myopic, particularly with singles such as "Ever Fallen in Love With Someone You Shouldn't've?" Naturally, The Ramones had a clear bubblegum pop influence, and the more modern American school of pop-punk owes far more to The Descendants in actual sound, but Buzzcocks were a pretty direct bridge between those two bands in sound and sensibility and arguably better songwriters than either. Yes, this is nerdy hairsplitting, but what is punk without nerdy hairsplitting? :P P.S. This is not a knock on the video as a whole; to the contrary, it's a very minor point in an otherwise solid video. I just think it's worth shouting out a band which was really important to this style, what's more fronted by an openly bisexual man (Pete Shelley) in the '70s, of all things!

Thank you for not forgetting Fefe Dobson!

Always loved Fefe Dobson. All of her albums have great gems.

Just leaving this here: All us millennial white dudes that spent more hours than we care to admit playing Tony Hawk's and getting wasted to the sound of pop punk should put all our support behind this revival and these artists. Also, waiting for the Nu Metal revival and for Trap Metal to become mainstream!

I was wondering how Linda's voice would fare in a more 'rock' environment, and then you made this video. I'm amazed of how you can engeneer a song on demand like this, it would be nice to have a video with the full song! Thanks for another instructive and beautiful video!

So good that Fefe Dobson is in this! Phenomenal Canadian artist!

Really forgot to mention MGK and his album tickets to my downfall which is probably one of the biggest parts in the pop punk revival okayyyyy

Pop punk never left Neck Deep, State Champs, Seaway, Like Pacific, A day to Remember, Real Friends, Knuckle Puck, Anxious, Koyo, Hot Muligan, The Story so Far, The Wonder years, No Pressure…

Yungblud mod sun and MGK massively important ! All in all I'm loving the revival

Where's Avril? She's the queen

Travis Barker, Yungblud, ModSun, Avril Lavigne and Machine Gun Kelly are the most important names in this revival🔥🔥🔥

Love the fact that pop punk is making a revival, especially now that Tom is back in Blink. I’d love to see the culture of the 90s and 2000s make a comeback, and I’ll be right here waiting. Who’s with me though??

My one complaint about this video is it kind of skips over the 2010s pop punk scene: bands like The Story So Far, The Wonder Years, Real Friends, Man Overboard, etc. They definitely kept the scene alive while the mainstream moved on. Good video overall, though!

How was MGK not mentioned. He had a pop punk album that topped charts

My heart jumped when I saw Meet Me @ The Altar's name. I am so proud of them.

I can't believe you didn't mention Machine Gun Kelly and his ginormous album, or that Travis Barker has been working on the pop-punk revival for years. That said, thanks for putting Fefe Dobson up there. She has written and performed some fantastic songs, and "Start All Over" for Miley is a personal fave.

It's so cool that you all talked to Fefe Dobson and Meet Me @ the Altar! I had no idea that she wrote all those songs for other artists.

I love the pop punk revival but you forgot one of the biggest influences for the new pop punk wave, machine gun Kelly, tickets to my downfall was a huge album for the punk pop scene and went number 1 which caused a lot of his fans which were rap fans to look more into punk pop which was a big part in its revival

There has been two pop punk revivals actually. I realise the newer one is all hyped and truly pop, but there was a brief underground power pop/pop punk/hardcore revival in the early 2010s represented by Ovens, Spanish Love Songs and Jeff Rosenstock. These musicians and their audience are basically millenial hardcore heads or "real emo" heads trying out new avenues. I wanna highlight them because without their influence, the gen Z scene might be very different.

Something I liked about this genre was the lack of rhyming lyrics or couplets to move songs forward. Not all bands or songs, but enough of them would use rough or fast riffs combined with emotional punches instead

I love this channel so much! Learning about how music evolves over time and how certain sounds inspire new ones is forever fascinating to me. Need a full version of the song at the end you guys did. Just from that little snippet it's soooo catchy!

I'm happy to see so many Black Artist in the scene now. Growing up being the only Black Emo kid in my school in the 2000s life was rough. I got picked on a lot. Bullied and called named like f*gg*t, Traitor to my race, N*gga hater and the most Common one is that I sounded and acted "White" all because I listened to Emo, Pop Punk and Metal and didn't speak like I didn't know basic English. I truly wish I had a Meet me @ the Altar and KennyHoopla back in my day. 13-17 Year old me would be so happy right now. :)

Great video to start off my morning, can't wait to get into the nitty gritty of it.

Before watching I'm going to guess because a new generation is romanticizing the records their parents love, the aesthetic, and we now have a chance to have Pop Punk without all the sexual assault.

The early 2010’s had a huge pop-punk revival with bands like The Story So Far, The Wonder Years etc.

The 2010s is literally when I hit adulthood and discovered the music. I listen to a bunch of Paramore, Fall Out Boy, and typically heavier stuff like Dance Gavin Dance which sometimes gets kinda poplike imo.

you guys should totally make a spotify page with a playlist to go along with each video! im trying to write down all these artists as you go along, im so excited to check them all out

Great episode! Glad to see the new gen come up and make their own noises

Pop punk was my fav. As a young black girl we only had Fefe Dobson. Also the creators in the video are very talented.

Love me some pop punk! I'm happy that I got to experience some of those last years of Warped Tour. I got to see Pinkshift live in our hometown and it was a great show! I bought tickets to When We Were Young and I'm hoping it's not a scam and that it's a fun experience lol.

Thank you for remembering the Descendants.

Fefe Dobson is the reason I feel like I can make rock music in todays era. I love her

I just saw Meet Me @ The Altar last night, and they kicked ass! Their lead singer is extremely talented (as was the whole band) and reminded me of a cross between Hayley Williams (Paramore) and Amy Lee (Evanescence).

As much as i love pop punk i think its important to note the 2010s pop punk as it was still alive and kept alive through deviations. It felt a lot more personal than the 2000s and to disregard that is a little disrespectful. I'm still happy to see people especially bipoc express themselves without being bullied like i was. My hope is this generation will innovate the sound but its not looking like it and this maybe a fad rather than a revival.

such a pleasure to be a part of this!!

Because of the pandemic, political unrest and an overall sense of exhaustion, Emo and Alternative music and culture in general were bound to make a comeback. Ppl are craving music that is a bit darker, a bit heavier, but you can still sing along to.

Would love to see you guys do a video on electrocore like The Rapture and LCD Soundsystem or the garage band revival of the early 2000s like Franz Ferdinand and The Strokes

Omg I LOVE Fefe Dobson!

Lol no mention of MGK, who I think one of the artist that had success in Pop Punk being in the charts during this pandemic.

Yall should've mentioned avrils influence and how she came I the genre even though she wasn't as much of a pop punk singer

very informative & organized video! great work

Indded, when I was 6 to 10 years old, Pop Punk was everywhere.

You forgot Avril Lavigne she was back after 3 years

First panic at the disco album is insane. Not really a pop punk fan but always loved that one

I recommend Trippie Redd's punk/emo stuff too. "SWIMMING" and "WITHOUT YOU" are classics already.

If anyone thinks that these new artists brought back pop punk, it really shows how out of touch they are with the genre...and most of the new "pop punk" like Olivia Rodrigo, MGK, willow and others will stop once it isn't cool anymore. Even Demi Lovato is joining the band wagon now...most were all pop before...it's truly sad to me.

Peaceful Meadows - One and Only...an unheard-by-many pop-punk classic

Well, I'm not a pop punk fan: though it is catchy and fun, I usually find myself quite bored after two or three songs. If we are talking about punk revivals, I think it is more interesting the newer wave of post punk bands, such as Black Country New Road, Black Midi or Idles. I don't want to say that pop punk isnt' any good: a matter of taste, I guess. Anyways good video, as usual :)

My first comeback Pop punk song was definitely MGK's Bloody Valentine!! And when I found the album it was from, Concert For Aliens became my favorite one!!!

Oh shit, I forgot ab Fefe. I loved her.

I don't think people realize how important Fefe Dobson was. She was a voice for the Alt-Black at a time when that representation wasn't there.

Well this is a lot less bad than I was expecting. There’s basically a huge world of DIY pop punk that it ignores but I expected that

Don’t forget The Linda Lindas. They’re awesome!

wow you just completely ignore the dominance of the 1990s by Green Day and the Orange county scene? it wasn’t just green day!? geez… The Muffs for a start! The Spazzys The Donna’s, Eddy Suppression Ring… all the japanese bands!! you’re missing so much of the scene.

Just a conjecture, but I think that some changes in guitar production and marketing may have contributed to this rise. In the 2000s, any guitar that costed under around 350 USD was likely garbage, and garbage in a way that hindered the enjoyment of playing. Additionally, the marketing for guitars was still aimed at (white) men who had income (so like the 21+ age range). But throughout the 2010s guitar production got way better, and now you can get a decent guitar for 150-200 USD. And Fender really made an effort to expand their advertising demographic because they figured out they'd make more money getting women (and non-anglo people secondarily, and people under 18 tertiarily) into guitar. Add in the pandemic, which gave people a chance to just learn guitar, which encourages thorough engagement with guitar-oriented music, and you've got the rise of guitar oriented music again.

Thinking about it. I really never thought about it but yes you're right. There is such a thing as Pop Punk , aha! In your opinion thePretenders, B-52s , Devo,, Talking Heads or Blondie, would they qualify?

You guys should also talk about the band Red handed denial, such band has never let the scene die.

I can't believe I'd be alive long enough to see pop punks third revival! 💖☠️💖☠️

Disney pop punk from Miley, Demi, Selena had a major influence me!! I loved this video ♥️

Why are they completely ignoring MGK who revived the genre with Youngblood and Travis

Really a shame you didn’t mention Lil Peep. He’s one of the biggest reasons pop punk has influenced hip hop so much the past few years

I love the song Antagonist by the Nova Twins. They are a Black female duo from the UK thst are like pop punk meets nu metal.

We can't forget that Avril Lavigne was huge in pop punk in early oo's

Thank you MGK and Travis

FEFE Dobson.... I love you!

no love for Alkaline Trio? that's cold. From Here To The Infirmary/Good Mourning/Crimson are just as good as anything Blink or Sum 41 ever put out.

Having grown up in the punk 80s, and being othered by the scene simply because I was a girl, it's so good to see this diversity!

So happy you mentioned the Disney “pop rock” albums. It for sure got me into the scene

Maybe the 20 yr fashion cycle is a thing is music too? We have access to so much music now with streaming. Also, the emerging artists in their 20's may have listened to pop punk, punk and alternative as kids, so I'm sure it has a heavy influence on their sound. I wasn't allowed to listen to mainstream music, but even I had Relient K, and Barlow Girl.

Pop Punk was the soundtrack of the majority of Teenage Disney Movies of early 2000s

This was so informative hearing another take on this era of music. Thank you for making this! There were some artists names here that I didn't know

And what about MGK, Yungblud, Travis Barker, Avril Lavigne, Mod Sun, Lil Huddy ?

Dammit... I was really hoping the genre was dead for good.

They should do a Episode on new Jack swing next

pop punk is here to stay

Like no one ever mentioned Avril Lavigne, she's Pop Punk Princess. You literally forgot The Best Damn Thing domination in 2007, Girlfriend was the best selling single in the same year

There are some pop-punk bands who promote respectfulness and disadvantaged artists: The Wonder Years' lead singer Soupy always pushes artists with femme vocalists and he's been a big proponent of Meet Me @ The Altar and even appears on a remix/version of one of their songs.

Fantastic video - and a really interesting look at how this sound is coming back. I won't fib, I'm definitely NOT terribly aware of current trending, but I did love Green Day (still do). Even if I wasn't a teen in the 2000s, heh. I am 100% all here for the comeback though, especially with more diversity. I feel like punk really has always been about calling out the world's bullsh*t, and there's certainly plenty of THAT to call out for women and especially for POC.

So… what I see is a video on Pop-Punk Revival Gen Z Edition - but what I’m hearing is that: not only is LA sitting on the gospel drumming shed footage from previous seasons - he also has a trove of pop-punk closet fan drum shedding he’s going to release as well… 😁😁😁

Those songs by miley and demi were not just early exposure to pop rock for girls. As a guy, I'm not ashamed to admit that I listen to female artists, and prefer female fronted pop punk bands such as Meet Me @ The Altar and Stand Atlantic

11:46 me when I argue in real life vs. when I practice in my head

One flaw with this is it wasn't genz who brought it back, it was Travis Barker

I love that pop punk is coming back. I still think All Time Low is great tho!

estella// is actually so good

I ADORE pop punk and I'm currently in my scene phase, I'm REALLY hoping that it stays!

Sipeo - I’m Dead!

Not even a mention of the sad boi punk era, na basement, no real friends, no the story so far how could you take out the entire pop punk movement of the 2010s😊

Yeah Fefe!!!

I wouldn’t mind seeing pop punk artists diversifying their ideas and approach. A New Orleans pop punk act incorporating swamp pop and fifties New Orleans R&B, for example. How about a Texas equivalent to Paramour throwing in blues, Tejano music, Nuggets era garage and psych into the mix? Think a latter day Gun Club meets Butthole Surfers. A British Blink 182 incorporating classic British sixties style guitar pop, the arty side of glam rock, pop punk and artists like The Smiths. You get the idea.

Has someone who never stopped listening to ska it was a solid genre. Big fan of mm@ta too

people remembered that it's f'ing kickass? i'm glad it's back

wow did not expect to see Cherym get a mention. Everyone should check them out, love some local Irish representation!

The Offspring also made a huge contribution to the rise of pop-punk in the 1990s up to the early 2000s.
