History
The first pop-punks are the first punk rockers - the Ramones. For some of their songs, especially the early ones, the entertainment orientation, the absence of social problems and the general positive mood, which is so uncharacteristic for “dark” punk genres that appeared on the brink of 80s (such as hardcore and Oi!), were already characteristic. The very first "full-fledged" pop punk band became Buzzcocks, who managed to achieve a very light sound, combining the guitar pressure and air melodies characteristic of punk rock, compared to the rather brutal and unusual arrangement of the unprepared listener. based on pop rock and bubblegum pop 1960s.
