From HitStory, the pop encyclopedia of School of Rock · Genre

Pop punk combines the speed and the guitars of punk with pop melodies and singalong choruses. In 1994 Green Day of Berkeley with Dookie and The Offspring with Smash broke through to a large audience. Around 2000 Blink-182 and many others followed, with videos full of humour on MTV.
