Is Pop punk dead ?

I want to start a band but I really can't decide on which direction/genre to go between those 2:

Pop punk/ pop rock like
> Paramore - Riot
> Paramore - Self titled

Heavier pop rock/alt rock borderline metal like
> bring me the horizon - That's the spirit
> bring me the horizon - Sempiternal

What style do you think has the most potential in at the moment? I basically really like Paramore and the new stuff by BMTH but I just can't decide on which way to go between those two.
I feel like paramore-like pop rock is becoming irrelevant and people are tired of it

Spontaneously switch between styles mid-song like a real pro.

protip:
good music never becomes irrelevant

You shouldn't start a band if your main focus is "what will make the most money and get me the most attention"

just become a producer and make crappy EDM

You got me wrong, I'm not thinking about money
I just wonder which one of 2 styles people would enjoy listening to the most as I really like both of them anyway.
We plan on playing at our college rock shows so playing something relevant and contemporary would be best

noise rock

if you are in college, neither of those genre are relevant

Stop looking at shit music for inspiration

If you want to do pop punk go in a Buzzcocks or early Green Day direction

If you really want to catch people's eyes you should start a japanese new wave revival band.
