The pop punk genre began in the 1970’s with the Ramones being considered one of the first bands to mix punk sounds with the pop genre. UK bands such as Buzzcocks and The Undertones began the movement of punk into the pop punk genre.
By merging 60’s bubblegum pop with loud, fast-paced punk tunes the Ramones created a new sound that has been used as inspiration for many pop punk bands and has recently become a large musical genre due to Green Day and The Offspring bringing the movement into audience appreciation in the 1990’s.
Pop Punk, made it’s way into mainstream music in the early 2000’s succeeding the commercial success of Blink 182 and Avril Lavigne.

This recent decile however has seen a sudden rise in Pop Punk popularity with Fall Out Boy and Paramore’s 2013 albums rising quickly to the top 10 spot and signifying the beginning of a renewal in Pop Punk popularity.
