      Tbf you can see why there's hate towards Pop Punk. In a sense, it is kinda punk-ish to go against Punk and be huge (i.e. Green Day, blink-182, Sum 41, etc) but it does beat the purpose of what Punk is supposed to be

  • @bassistqueen4764
    @bassistqueen4764 Před 6 lety +84

    Please for all the people hating on Green Day, as I watch this channel more and more can tell they are also not only focusing one genre but sub genres. Yes Green Day is not Punk but they are pop punk. That is a sub genre of punk. Have some sense before you blast on a band who has been around probably longer then you have been born. This channel likes to branch out in sub genres and I think that’s very responsible and that shows that the creators of this channel have a open mind and that’s what makes anything about Rock and Metal amazing. Having an open mind. So please use your brain before you speak
