Punk pop (not to be confused with pop punk: Sum 41, Avril Lavigne, etc.) music is known for its melodic and catchier notes than the original punk rock of the late 1970s. She also spawned a new group of fans, if you want to be one of them, here's what you need to do.
Steps
Step 1. None of this will make you really pop punk, all you need to do is enjoy the music, but it will help you be more like pop punk
Remember, don't follow a stereotype if it doesn't work for you. It should be in the shower.
Step 2. Ask yourself
Does “being a pop punk” mean something to you? No one likes change and battles with unbearable parents, so make sure it really means something to you.
Step 3. Start using expressions such as “very boring and overrated”
Step 4. Buy punk pop or real punk jerseys from bands like The Queers, Screeching Weasel, The Descendants, Pinhead Gunpowder, Blink-182, Rally Fuckers or The Ramones
Or if you prefer something else, The Links, Cowbell Soho, Semen Inferno, Discount, Hollywood Blondes, Swindle Parlor and Haskel.
Step 5. Buy some thin jeans
Thick ones will look cool too - work on them, rip them up, bleach them, destroy them - whatever your imagination wants.
Step 6. Buy some sweatshirts
The ones that you could wear every day. Buy with laces on them, designed like a skeleton, striped or checkered, or buy just one color. Anything you like will do, but don't buy something just because popular punk popers are wearing it. Zip jackets also look good. You can skip the zipper to show your jersey underneath.
Step 7. Try to find some cool shirts
Great colors: black, gray and navy blue! Find a navy and black plaid shirt! Buy some long sleeves and roll them up to your elbows.
Step 8. Accessories
You will need bandages for your hands: thin ones will work, but try to find completely black ones. If you can't find a pure black headband, buy with the logo band, turn the logo inside out, and wear it that way.
Step 9. Wear black and white Converse high or low almost all the time
Or skate shoes and Vansa.
Step 10. Find a cap, preferably a black one
It's not necessary, just a touch, you can be pop punk without it, but it's a good idea for people with short hair.
Step 11. Get the right hairstyle
If you have long hair, do the 'Mod' hairstyle, with all the hair on the side, like the Beatles in the past. "Emo" hairstyles are too … Just don't overdo it. Or take hair gel and make your hair spiked up! You can try Mohawks, fauxhawks, freedom thorns or punk.
Step 12. Develop your attitude
Be confident, but not overconfident. If people say you are weird, just pretend that the tree is talking to you. Don't let people humiliate you and never give up, although it won't be the end of the world if you don't succeed. Make decisions for yourself. Know who you are and be proud of it. If you don't know who you are, try not to be too arrogant. Pride for lions, and lions are more Afro-punks or Sabro-punks. You can also go back to the second step and ask your parents or guardians who you are. If they don't know, try to find out more about the people you would like to be like. Identities do not belong to people, so adopting from someone else, as Mark said, is much more important than just pop punk.
Advice
- When referring to the lead singer of the group, make sure you use their real name and not their stage name (i.e., Ben Laska = Ben Foster, Joe Quer = Joe King). This will build trust in you among other pop punks.
- Buy a skateboard and ride it everywhere. Learn a few tricks, but don't call yourself a skater. If someone asks you if you are a skater, say no, I'm just skating.
- Remember, the longer you look for your personality, the more difficult it will be in the future to confront yourself. But at the same time, the pop punk image will find you on dates - especially with those who try to look cool when dating pop punk.
- Always dress the best you can.
- Leather is your new friend now, blast jackets will do, but something edgy is more preferable. Dye it up if the clothes have become worn out, but you can skip this phase in your life.
- Don't make fun of a person because of their style, everyone is different, be it goth, punk, theater, prep or whatever!
- If you are wearing a bandana with a band, make sure you know enough about the band to keep the conversation going when someone starts talking about your shirt.
- Be respectful, otherwise you will be treated like a pig.
- Pop punk bands! A bit of punk, metal and pop. Remember, you have to understand music. Plus, if you like music that isn't punk related, take pride in the fact that you are different!
- If you must wear glasses, try thick plastic frames (only if you want to be a theater-goer!).
- Make sure you are accepted into the Boring Pop Punk community or a pop punk poser (see Read Hard, Dick Nothing).
- Put on an annoying avatar of Boring Pop Punks (Wednesday)
- Have fun, if you're not having fun, you shouldn't stay here any longer. Be honest with yourself, become a goth or a theater-goer, you will be ridiculed, but not your like-minded people. Me and my rifle, but not like-minded people.
Warnings
- Remember, don't hang labels on yourself.
- Hardcore Punks, 77 Punks and ESPECIALLY Scam Punks will ignore you, laugh at you or even bully you. It's unavoidable. Be prepared to be called a poser if you go to their concert. If you are caught in a slam or are standing next to it, you will be pushed there on purpose or will be beaten / beaten, etc. For your own safety, you should stay away from these guys, unless, of course, you want to become a real punk. The mall is the safest place as they rarely go there. Be careful! For them, the Green Day T-shirt is like the smell of blood to a shark in water.
- If you are not a musician, do not post on a pop punk site.
- Never call yourself a theater-goer if you are trying to be a real pop punk. People may laugh at you and call you emo, but that shouldn't affect who you are. Pop punk and theatergoers are two opposite things.
