Chic 20,830 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Seriously. Literally, 95% of my friends are in love with pop punk. My Chemical Romance, Sleeping With Sirens, etc etc. Totally obsessed with it. Like, I could throw a ****ing rock in an empty field and it would hit a pop punk fan. It's ridiculous. How is this not one of the best selling genres? They are seriously everywhere. You can ask anyone and they'll name one of these bands as their favorites. I just don't understand how these music buyers are not making the sales exponentially higher than other artists? None of these bands are on the list of best selling music acts. So wtf? Is it the merchandise that sells more? Are flat irons selling? Ear gauges hot on the market? Are stocks at Hot Topic through the roof? Razors? Tours? Because these acts certainly aren't on any best selling lists. I just don't get it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edonis 28,624 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Most of their demographic illegally streams the music or can't legally buy it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serendipity 7,821 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 cause the artist can't market themselves well and the fanbase aren't loyal The most loyal would be AC/Country/Urban See talent here-->http://bit.ly/2eqeUxK Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In response to your original question, they are a minority compared to mainstream music fans, but I would still expect higher sales than what there is. I think illegal downloading is a big factor... Also a lot of the bands give away cd's at their concerts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
High King 640 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Pop punk is literally one of my least favorite genres of music. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RebeldeFaith 4,560 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Gaga happened and ruined every expectation on what was going to be the next big thing in pop music. My Chemical Romance still has a special place in my music library though. But keep that other band, I don't want it near me.

LoveandMagic 1,731 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I'm pretty sure it WAS a major genre in the early millennium. I remember when Avril Lavigne first popped up bubblegum pop, which was the major pop genre at the time, sort of disappeared and all rock pop acts started getting more attention. I think things go through cycles but it will probably trend back soon. That, and demographics (do/can they buy) and illegal downloading. Just repeat to yourself, "It's just a show. I should really just relax." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zilla 13,346 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Don't trash MCR, they rule and are a bunch of great guys. Never irrelevant nor tragic, their music is amazing. But skip the Black Parade, three cheers all the way. i love pop punk, but that was really popular in the early 2000's. Like in the means of radio, etc. 𝙸'𝚖 𝚊 𝚓𝚘𝚛𝚝𝚜 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚓𝚎𝚕𝚕𝚢 𝚜𝚑𝚘𝚎𝚜 𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚍 𝚘𝚏 𝚐𝚒𝚛𝚕.
