What defines pop punk?
This take on pop punk lives where trap and punk collide. A track might pair punk guitars with a trap beat, or a punk drum groove with trap keys and an 808, and a single song often flips between a punky section and a trappier one. The sound is rough, loud and direct.
The energy is the throughline. Whether the guitars or the 808 are leading, pop punk keeps that raw, emotional, in-your-face attitude.
