Genre?

[BrandonCorey]

I think they're a pop rock band with the exception on a scatter song.

[Jake-41]

A rock band, and nothing more.

FUCKING FUCK!!! SUM 41 IS NOT POP-PUNK!!!!!!!!!! I don't even know what retarded imbisil classified that as a "genre" of music, but god-damnit there is no such thing. It makes me so angry when people say that. Pop-punk sounds so fucking gay. It's like "I wanna be gay, but I'm not sure I can do it right". NOOO!! Sum 41 is PUNK and strictly punk!!! You don't hear fuckin bubble-gum pop shit in the background or as part of the music do you?? No, you don't, because it's not pop, or this "pop-punk" bullshit. There's pop and there's punk, no pop-punk.

[Jake-41]

It all depends on what you personally think "punk" is. Like, i believe old misfits is just straight punk.

In that case, they're hasn't been a real "punk" band in thirty years.

"Pop" music is listened to the majority of people who listen to radio/ watch music television shows. it usually has some kind of hook or catch, lyrically or musically. "punk" is fast and upbeat, to say the least. POPular punk is "punk" that gets major radio/tv airtime. sum 41 fit into this "pop-punk" genre-hybrid only in their HHOP-AKNF days.

to me, true punk is where the artist want to convey a message about something that not many people know about. ex. anti-flag has little excerpts/ facts about the meaning of their songs in their lyric booklets. to me, there are very few bands that are actually straight up "punk".

this is why, to me, that Sum 41 are alternative rock. they have displayed talent in a few different genres, but they are alternative because they are not as popluar as most mainstream rock bands, and their musical stylings have changed several times.

[Andyrew004]

If you want a short answer, you could say they are a rock band, or an alternative rock band.

Genre(s) for each album:
- Half Hour of Power: punk rock, pop punk
- All Killer No Filler: pop punk, skate punk
- Does This Look Infected?: melodic hardcore, alternative rock
- Chuck: alternative metal, melodic hardcore
- Underclass Hero: pop punk, alternative rock

well said =D

[Jake-41]

To anyone, and with no dis-respect..

HHOP was totally not pop at all. It was alternative punk-metal.

Yeah, to me Anti-Flag, Lawrence Arms and Rise Against is one of the few new "real" punk bands that has popped up in the last 10 years.

[Mr-David-Blues]

If you choose to believe Rise Against is straight punk, then alright. But there not.

Listen to "bullet" by the Misfits, that what i choose to think straight "punk" is.

I love people who take the genre "Pop" as an insult. The Beatles made pop music for god sake.

I believe at least the old Rise Against is about as real punk you can get.
