Pop-punk combines the energetic sound of punk rock with simple melodies and vocal techniques of pop music, as well as other "light" genres. Lyrics are characterized by a lack of acute social themes and a general positive mood, in contrast to the aggressive and impudent "father's" genre. Punk and his pop version appeared almost simultaneously, in the mid-70's. The first signs of pop influence were already in the early works of the Ramones, and the real pioneers of the genre consider the group Buzzcocks. Later, pop punk experienced a "new birth" and a serious commercial success in the 90s, when the groups Green Day, The Offspring and Rancid were at the peak of popularity. The echo of this success was also affected by the 2000s: the most famous collectives of this period are Sum 41, blink-182 and Good Charlotte.
