Punk Pop

The number of punk pop bands on myspace astounds me. I was sort of keeping track of the genre without much interest or enthusiasm.

"Oh yeah, Green Day. They sound just like the Ramones"
"Oh yeah, Blink-182. They sound just like Green Day"
"Oh yeah, Fall Out Boy. They sound just like Blink-182"
"Oh yeah, Panic at the Disco. They sound just like Fall Out Boy"

I guess I've been missing something, because according to the myspace music charts punk pop is the only viable sound for a working rock band in the mid-Atlantic area.

I'm gonna go back to listening to "53rd and 3rd" now.
