Good pop rock

The strokes, ramones, last dinosaurs, etc

Looking for something uplifting but also sad at the same time

They are very poppy. They are rock. Don't be so obsessed with semantics when it comes to genre.

They're literally the pioneers of pop punk and punk rock. Not pop rock.

Punk is much less a genre than it is a movement.

Most rock is by definition pop.

MAH NIGGA

is this supposed to be good

Only to people with taste.

if you say so

They've got a wider variety of sounds than those three songs. I picked those specifically because OP wanted pop rock.

Feel free to listen to more to form an actual opinion.

Coldplay. Especially all of the album Viva La Vida.

Bloc Party.

>pop punk
>pop rock
Other than edgy lyrics there the same thing

"no"

Name 5 pop rock bands.

What makes them so different?

Most pop punk is heavier and more distorted than pop rock, and punk is a heavier, faster and sloppier version of rock anyways.

Samefag

REO Speedwagon
Electric Light Orchestra
Fleetwood Mac
The Jonas Brothers
Matchbox Twenty

I would agree punk is a type of rock

The Buzzcocks

early muse count as pop rock?

Smiths/Morrisey probably

most of muse counts as pop rock i'd say

yes but everything after absolution is aids ridden hot garbage

I agree both those songs are different in many ways but in the end their both poppy versions of rock

I think we can all agree that pop rock is a very weakly defined genre.

No, they're Alternative Rock with elements of Progressive Rock, Neo-Prog, Electronic Rock and Space Rock.

sure, but still a pop band most of the time. just like radiohead

No.

care to explain?

Muse is not even close to pop rock, and neither is Radiohead. Just because something is "popular" doesn't automatically mean it's pop. They virtually have little to no similarities to pop; their experimentation with rock music and electronic seldom exist in the realm of traditionalist pop.

Bloc Party and Arctic Monkeys debut albums

Their songs nearly always possess pop structures you moron

'experimentation with rock music' LMAO

/thread

You mean the Verse-Chorus-Verse structure literally found in ALL Alternative Rock music? That's a literal defining trait of Alternative Rock music, retard. Bands like the Pixies popularized the "subtle, quieter and/or more melodic verses developing into loud, explosive choruses" dynamic and made it a cornerstone in most Alternative Rock songs. And also, Alt. Rock isn't Pop Rock either; it combines elements of underground sensibilities and ideas with typical Rock production.

well it depends on which definition of pop youre using. in the strict sense both bands are definitely pop

Rock is popular, but ubiquity ≠ pop music. Otherwise, dream pop, glitch pop, chamber pop, indie pop and baroque pop would each have as much commercial success as dance-pop common on the Hot 100. And no, I don't agree with the classification of "Pop, Classical, Traditional Folk and Art" music, as it's too generalized and fails to consider the uniqueness of different genres/styles/ideas.

popularity doesnt have to do with classification. but if we disagree about said classification there's not point in arguing anymore.

there's something sad and nostalgic about this song at the same time
