A CRASH COURSE IN POP PUNK

For Tristan

  • If it’s good, Mikey Erg is involved.
  • Make up as many names for the Dopamines as you can.  Dippydappies.  Dopafucks.  Dippindots.  Dopashits.  Variations on a theme.
  • When lost in New Brunswick trying to find a show, just look for Jay Insult.
  • All the best bands broke up.  Sucks to be 2009.
  • If you’re looking for a PPMB member at Fest, just look for the awkward people pounding PBRs.
  • Wanna know who to namedrop?  Check out the last.fm PPMB group!
  • Make fun of the Steinways.  No one likes them anyway.
  • Any additions to this list are welcome.
  • The best song titles are plays on song titles by Screeching Weasel, The Queers, Mr. T Experience, or Husker Du.
  • Quote Dirty Work endlessly.
  • Attend Ice Cream Socials.
  • If your favorite pop punk band had brutal breakdowns, you listen to melodic hardcore and need to get the fuck out of here. (It’s acceptable to listen to a degree of that stuff, as long as you don’t dare to call it pop punk.)
  • Leather jackets, Chuck Taylors and Levi’s will never go out of style despite what the Copyrights would lead you to believe.
  • Dear Landlord is still the greatest current pop punk band even though their album hasn’t even been released yet.

Thanks Jose!!!
