Influences of music style

Pop punk is a fusion of different music styles altogether as it combines elements of punk-rock with a softer side which causes it to be pop punk. It can also be described as a variation of alternative rock, post-hardcore with pop melodies and speedy punk tempos as the chord changes all the time.The first useage of the term is not quite clear but it was somehwere in the mid 1970s. An early use of the term pop punk appeared in a 1977 New York Times article, "Cabaret: Tom Petty's Pop Punk Rock Evokes Sounds of 60s". In the mid-1990s, the California pop punk bands Green Day and Blink-182, who were later followed by The Offspring, New Found Glory and subsequently by Fall Out Boy, would all achieve worldwide commercial success.
