Respectfully, their singer sounds like a 12 year old prepubescent boy live so I would pay they don’t. I try not to clown on bands, but his voice legit made me laugh from being caught off guard the first time I saw them open live for Beartooth.
Carly Rae Jepsen toured with Canadian Pop Punk bands in her early days so I think she would fit right in.
If you've never heard her song Sour Candy with Josh Ramsay from Marianas Trench before I highly recommend checking it out. Definitely still a pop song, but has Josh's pop punk vocals on it.
Yeah but see the thing is. I try really hard to get into ALL music. Shit I hate I'll still listen to full albums to understand, I've tried Halsey and my opinion still stands I genuinely don't understand how she's famous, she's an awful singer her music sucks and it's so uninspired.
They already nailed the sound with Favor House Atlantic and they are virtuosic genre benders. Vaxis 2 had a edm song on it and Afterman had Number City which had some jazz elements.
Before the 1975 they were called Drive Like I Do and they had a decent Fall Out Boy “Grand Theft Autumn” cover

Bring Me The Horizon came out with a fantastic pop punk style song called LosT. They could definitely make a full album of songs like that one.
KennyHoopla is basically what I think Bloc Party playing pop punk would sound like, funny enough. He's one of my favorite artists right now.
There is a video somewhere of her doing “we are never getting back together” like hardcore angry pop punk style, and they do a breakdown at the end to the chorus. I have absolutely no idea what awards show it was, and googling “Taylor swift emo performance” is less than helpful haha
Excited to see how Olivia continues to evolve. There was an interview with Billie Joe Armstrong that asked him about Olivia and he said it’d be cool to introduce her to some older east bay punk. I know he was just answering a question but it’d be cool to see her explore more punk and pop-punk.
I couldn‘t see her going the Fat Wreck direction tbh. I‘d rather her go the Avril Lavigne direction but just do it better (which she already has). Interesting Billie Joe talked about her though!
Probably no one here knows him, but cavetown would make an amazing pop punk album. He proved you could do it with psychometry, devil town and let them know they're on your mind. I've been wanting a pop punk cavetown album since let them know they're on your mind released
Agreed, I think she could pull it off, her songs are nearly there. Alex Melton has tapped into this. All of his Taylor covers are incredible, and worth checking out!
That's my favorite too. I think her songs work so well like this because they are already quite punchy (at least the ones I particularly like, which makes sense), and follow a structure/progression easily translates into the genre. Part of that is the country roots ofc.
Sugar Ray. They actually attempted it and SUCCEEDED with this song
[https://youtu.be/lZxRx3qLGdY?si=rBPjMSym9tVpcWpX](https://youtu.be/lZxRx3qLGdY?si=rBPjMSym9tVpcWpX)
Loathe maybe, they’ve done some hard shoegaze stuff, if you speed it up it kinda sounds pop punkish. Though considering how beloved they are in their scene it’ll never happen
Not a but Zach Bryan would make a good Punk/Midwest punk style album kind of like Joyce manor/The Menzingers style
He made a tweet about how that type of music is actually his favorite and considers it the best and once his contract ends up that’s the music he really wants to make.
I’m not a country fan at all but he’s one of the few exceptions I have I always seemed to find his lyrics and effort into the music very genuine and easy to connect to. Now it all makes sense
Enter Shikari
They’re the one band I believe can make a perfect album of any genre. Enter Shikari is pretty much its own genre anyway lmao
Agreed, they dabble. https://youtu.be/7Yf6lwNg2_Y?si=-kUor-TF-3Y9tQzH
Knocked Loose
I came here to say this.
That would be something
Respectfully, their singer sounds like a 12 year old prepubescent boy live so I would pay they don’t. I try not to clown on bands, but his voice legit made me laugh from being caught off guard the first time I saw them open live for Beartooth.
Respectfully, they go hard as fuck and the vocalist sounds like the pure terror
Respectfully lmao no he doesn’t https://youtu.be/qE3bPWIIiQM?si=zrnFcVsub6x7KPmV
Sounds good to me
gotta agree, i wouldn't have put it that way myself but i can't stand the vocals
Can you imagine if Simon and Garfunkel brought those catchy melodies and vocal harmonies to the pop punk game? It'd be over.
Then the Beach Boys come into the scene with Heavy Pet Sounds
That's just the Travoltas.
I’ve always wanted to hear Carly Rae Jepsen with a pop punk vibe, but then I realized I just described Olivia Rodrigo lol
CRJ is the fucking best
Emotion is such a good synth pop album.
1000% yes

August Burns Red
Finally give that china cymbal a break
Their bassist made a solo pop punk album
Phoebe Bridgers. Take [Kyoto](https://youtu.be/Tw0zYd0eIlk?si=a8GnF6GPB4oFDs0e) and speed it up by 1.25/1.5 and it turns into a PUP song.
The entirety of boy genius could if they really wanted to.
I don't think this is a controversial opinion, but Halsey would have a killer pop punk album.
Not controversial since she’s definitely an emo kid at heart. But I would love for her to do a pop punk album!
Halsey is fuckin awful. How she got famous is insane.
Maybe consider that just because you don't like an artist, that doesn't make them "fucking awful"
Yeah but see the thing is. I try really hard to get into ALL music. Shit I hate I'll still listen to full albums to understand, I've tried Halsey and my opinion still stands I genuinely don't understand how she's famous, she's an awful singer her music sucks and it's so uninspired.
OK GO. Some of their early stuff has a pop punk feel already. I think they could really pull it off if they went all in on the sound.
coheed and cambria
They already nailed the sound with Favor House Atlantic and they are virtuosic genre benders. Vaxis 2 had a edm song on it and Afterman had Number City which had some jazz elements.
They've already recorded enough pop punk songs to assemble an album
lol true. i just think it'd be cool if they hunker down and focus on putting out one full effort of straight pop punk bangers.
Zach Bryan. I’m not a fan of country music but his lyrics are borderline pop punk.
He's said something along the lines of wishing he could write an emo album, he's a big fan of The Front Bottoms and Dashboard.
He could be the new Chris Gaines
And Joyce Manor
Feel like Haim could make some bangers
The 1975
If they made an entire record that had the same vibe as “Sex” I’d be so happy.
Yes! Their best song, hands-down.
Before the 1975 they were called Drive Like I Do and they had a decent Fall Out Boy “Grand Theft Autumn” cover https://youtu.be/ig-AeW7tu68?si=kUZ6smBuUJqvkTVf

Electric Callboy https://youtu.be/i5IlvWbjJIA?si=YV9x8v-HPw1d5n_G
Ice Nine Kills [I think they started out as a pop punk/ska band though ](https://youtu.be/y-yHGwqC76s?si=Dj5AysCmXfaEPp-d)
Spencer has a great voice, I’d love to hear them do some pop punk!
Halsey
Taylor Swift
[FOUND IT !](https://youtu.be/5c1F8FzPfz8)
I'm pretty confident she would kill it. And a bunch of people on this sub would be upset at how good it is
There is a video somewhere of her doing “we are never getting back together” like hardcore angry pop punk style, and they do a breakdown at the end to the chorus. I have absolutely no idea what awards show it was, and googling “Taylor swift emo performance” is less than helpful haha
[1989 tour emo We are never getting back together](https://youtu.be/5c1F8FzPfz8)
“Better Than Revenge” is pretty pop punk if you ask me
Olivia Rodrigo— full pop punk. She had about 4 on her last album
Excited to see how Olivia continues to evolve. There was an interview with Billie Joe Armstrong that asked him about Olivia and he said it’d be cool to introduce her to some older east bay punk. I know he was just answering a question but it’d be cool to see her explore more punk and pop-punk.
I couldn‘t see her going the Fat Wreck direction tbh. I‘d rather her go the Avril Lavigne direction but just do it better (which she already has). Interesting Billie Joe talked about her though!
King Gizz should definitely try it
Probably no one here knows him, but cavetown would make an amazing pop punk album. He proved you could do it with psychometry, devil town and let them know they're on your mind. I've been wanting a pop punk cavetown album since let them know they're on your mind released
Maggie Rogers Phoenix Bleachers Portugal. The Man
Agree on Bleachers. Jack's songs translate into different genres well and some of his music already has similar vibes
Dude Maggie Rogers newest singles are incredible! Ugh she's the best. Love bleachers newest album too, not as much as his last tho.
Noah Kahan. Homesick is basically a pop punk song and a bunch of songs on Stick Season could be easily turned pop punk lol
Lol so true. There's nothing more pop punk than being mad at your hometown
Sza. This [song](https://open.spotify.com/track/2e2AXpIiJpet5b4qg85Gh6?si=Y1a9ulpSTRenRluR6LmrZQ) is bordering on it already
Im not even a pop hater gatekeeper type person, but that shit sucks so bad lol
It’s definitely not one of her better songs but it’s not unfamiliar territory to consider
Scowl
The killers
Ed Sheeran
Arctic Monkeys
There is a reason there are so many pop punk covers of T Swift songs
twentyonepilots maybe?
The muffled clip they released for the song coming out this week sounds quite pop-punk, and I'm absolutely hoping it turns out to be accurate.
Have always said Taylor Swift. She already has some borderlines pop punk tracks.
Better Than Revenge goes hard
Agreed, I think she could pull it off, her songs are nearly there. Alex Melton has tapped into this. All of his Taylor covers are incredible, and worth checking out!
[His best one imo](https://youtu.be/g2DEQBQVzaI?si=9H0dwId0MjfLgy0E)
That's my favorite too. I think her songs work so well like this because they are already quite punchy (at least the ones I particularly like, which makes sense), and follow a structure/progression easily translates into the genre. Part of that is the country roots ofc.
The Dead South. A bit of blue grass punk would be awesome.
I feel like Incubus can pull it off
Sugar Ray. They actually attempted it and SUCCEEDED with this song [https://youtu.be/lZxRx3qLGdY?si=rBPjMSym9tVpcWpX](https://youtu.be/lZxRx3qLGdY?si=rBPjMSym9tVpcWpX)
This is going to be extremely 90s Canadian specific but if Bif Naked had made an entire album of pop punk songs, it would have been HUGE.
Bring Me the Horizon, LosT was a great pop punk sounding single
Machine Gun Kelly
The 1975 Placebo
Vampire Weekend
Paul McCartney
The lonely forest, styx, incubus
The Beaches would kill it
Metallica
Loathe maybe, they’ve done some hard shoegaze stuff, if you speed it up it kinda sounds pop punkish. Though considering how beloved they are in their scene it’ll never happen
HALSEY! Her feature on Forget Me Too is god-tier
Between the buried and me would just invent a pop punk adjacent "tech" band and it would probably kill all our parents accidentally.
Beach Boys
Not a but Zach Bryan would make a good Punk/Midwest punk style album kind of like Joyce manor/The Menzingers style He made a tweet about how that type of music is actually his favorite and considers it the best and once his contract ends up that’s the music he really wants to make. I’m not a country fan at all but he’s one of the few exceptions I have I always seemed to find his lyrics and effort into the music very genuine and easy to connect to. Now it all makes sense
Jason Isbell
Queen would kill it
Literally any power pop band fits. All they have to do is play faster.
Counterparts. You can hear the genre peeking through a bit on the song We Forgive.
Five pointe o, spineshank, and linkin park
Tate McRae has the voice for it
Mitchell Tenpenny
Juice WRLD Turnstile SeeYouSpaceCowboy
Turnstile’s song from I Think You Should Leave s3 is probably the closest we’ll get
Juice WRLD 😢
