i listen to all aspects of punk. punk, hardcore, pop-punk. just so you know. the ramones, in my opinion, are one of the original pop-punk bands. they sang tons of songs about love. and i wouldn't even classify good charlotte or simple plan as a "pop-punk" band. blink 182, greenday, better luck next time, and no use for a name are great examples of great pop-punk bands. i don't know why you even started this rant about pop-punk. why are you so pissed? at least these bands are trying to look up to their influences. at least there not singing patriotic country bull shit.
