Comment on Oh to go back...
Cracks_InTheWalls@sh.itjust.works 11 hours agoI mean, call it whatever, it really doesn’t matter that much, but why not pop punk? Seems to be the more common label, and easily extended to non-US bands like Sum41, Gob, etc.

It’s definitely a home made and personal distinction but basically for me pop-punk is reserved for the ones I don’t like haha. It has a negative side so I needed another term for the (admittedly) pop punk bands that I do like. Again you’re probably right, that’s just the way I do it internally. And I just use it to describe the sound, Millencollin for example is Swedish. Also there’s bands like bad religion that still kinda have that sound but I wouldn’t dare classify them under “pop”, I’m sure NOFX would take an issue with it too, etc.

I fucking loved Millencolin back in the day. Hadn’t listened to them in years until something inspired me earlier this year to look up No Cigar. So great! I appreciate the call out and also agree about the “pop” label. Lol, NOFX would definitely not be pleased with that.
