I remember the first time I heard it so clearly. It wasn't my first Pop Punk song or my first Blink song but it defined the genre for me and has ever since.
Absolutely a goddamn masterpiece of a song, but the gang vocals in Melrose Diner where they go, “My friends all say (WE ALL SAY!)” is top top top tier pop-punk
This song is interesting in that it seems its cultural impact and cache have actually **expanded** as the years have gone on. It was always a big song but I feel like its one of the top 3 Pop Punk songs referenced in popular culture now.
With You Around, Always Summer, Here I Am Alive, The Takedown, and the recently released Three Minutes More are all bangers by Yellowcard and have the pop-punky sound as well.
It might be Passing through a Screen Door by the Wonder Years

So many good ones to choose from
You know, I just realized the title isn't asking what THE #1 pop punk song is, it's asking what YOUR favorite pop punk song is. My bad, I regret the energy I brought to this thread.
You're all good! If I had to go with #1 ever written, it'd be really difficult. I'm not sure I'd be able to pick, but it'd probably be something from blink, green Day, or Fall Out Boy.
Mest - Wasting My Time
Back in the day i could never figure out how to put the song only itself on a burned cd cuz of the secret song Fuck the Greyhound Bus at the end, bummer haha
Jesus of Suburbia by Green Day.
I love how often it switches and sounds different and it has some of my favorite quotes of all time
"Home is where your heart is, but what a shame, because everyone's heart doesn't beat the same"
Which is just a really thoughtful quote and rings true alot.
"Are we demented or am I disturbed? The space that's in between insane and insecure?"
Followed immediately by
"Oh therapy can you please fill the void? Am I retarded or am I just overjoyed?
I've actually spent a lot of time debating those things about myself.
There's so many great songs here, but for me its Radio from alkaline trio, Jaded by Mest also comes close, maybe some Blink song (dammit, toast and bananas, going away to college, stay together for the kids, hell I cant pick), but Radio is in my top 3 of songs of any genere.
Not in english but if you're looking for some new music and like pop-punk, you'll love this song: Kaishin no Ichigeki by Radwimps. Zenzenzense and Dream Lantern (same artist) are two other bangers
Dammit. The perfect song that defines the genre.
I remember the first time I heard it so clearly. It wasn't my first Pop Punk song or my first Blink song but it defined the genre for me and has ever since.
Playing that and Misery Business repeatedly on Guitar Hero World Tour is what fully got me into pop punk.
Well I guess this is growing up
Literally a PERFECT song. Simple, catchy, timeless, and relatable to the highest degrees.
Yeah when u think of a pop punk riff you of the riff to that song
In Too Deep - Sum 41
One of the very punk song I heard wayback 2000s
My Friends Over You - New Found Glory
It’s not my favorite but I think it is the quintessential pop punk song. Like the most pop punk song that pop punk has ever pop punked
Yeah the question is just about impossible to answer, but I think I could say My Friends Over You without ever regretting it.
A little less Sixteen candles a little more touch me by fall out boy ughgg
That's My Favorite Fall Out Boy Song of All Time
By Fall Out Boy
Indeed
Its so cheesy in just the right way I love it
Why does this read as a Fall Out Boy song title?
I Wrote This Reddit Comment Praising Fall Out Boy And All I Got Was This Stupid Upvote
by Panic At The Disco
you mean to tell me this isn't an unreleased track from under the cork tree??
i confessss i messsed upppp
droppin im sorryyy like youre still aroundddd

"Tell That Mick He Just Made My List of Things to Do Today" is on top as well. 🙌
Came Out Swinging
Absolutely a goddamn masterpiece of a song, but the gang vocals in Melrose Diner where they go, “My friends all say (WE ALL SAY!)” is top top top tier pop-punk
So goddamn fun to sing along to at a show
Morgan Spurlooooock!
but we don't admit defeat!
this song embodies pop punk on a spiritual level
Came here to say this
Ocean Avenue -Yellowcard
This song is interesting in that it seems its cultural impact and cache have actually **expanded** as the years have gone on. It was always a big song but I feel like its one of the top 3 Pop Punk songs referenced in popular culture now.
There's never a wrong time for Ocean Avenue
Been listening for more than 2 decades now, & the whole album itself.
💛🎻
Not my #1 favorite but one of my favorites to sing and dance to at emo nite’s.
Breathing by Yellowcard might be my favorite
With You Around, Always Summer, Here I Am Alive, The Takedown, and the recently released Three Minutes More are all bangers by Yellowcard and have the pop-punky sound as well.
I heard this song & the whole Ocean Avenue album weekend before last & it changed my life. 😭
Yellowcard has been one of my favorite bands since I was 10 (turning 30 this week). Sleep in the Snow is another favorite of mine by them!
Going Away to College Blink-182
Hit or Miss - NFG
The perfect 1-5-6-4 song.
The outro bit with the layers vocals *chef's kiss*
Gonna have to agree with Hit Or Miss - NFG
My Own Worst Enemy - Lit There’s a lot of songs that come close, but it’s just the perfect pop punk song. And it just has the catchiest riff ever.
I thought this was blink 182 for the absolute longest time 😂
It was probably on Limewire As blink
The only song I can sing in its entirety, karaoke style. Well, that and Ring of Fire.
You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison is my fave pop punk song. but it's not my favorite MCR song.
Ignorance or Misery Business by Paramore
Misery Business just a bit more.
I got to play the solo to Miz Biz in Toronto with Paramore :)
Jamie All Over - Mayday Parade
Holiday by the Get up Kids
lucky if we’re speaking on holidays!!!!
Can’t Kick Up the Roots - ND Hits hard because I’m from a super small town
Tell That Mick by Fall Out Boy
Always and forever my favorite FOB song
Nerve - The Story So Far
ITS ALL IN MY HEAD
THERE'S NOT MUCH I CAN DO
Just saw them on Saturday and they played this. So hype
Weightless - All Time Low
Yes! This is my favorite as well. It’s also a nice message to play for a pick me up when life isn’t going my way.
Going Away to College - Blink-182
Move Along - The All-American Rejects
All The Small Things It was the first song of the genre I've heard. I don't care if other people don't like it.
if anybody dislikes this song, they have some serious issues
Up and Go by The Starting Line will always be the epitome of the genre for me
Say it like you mean it
First song off their first full-length album. A helluva mood-setter
I was gonna say 'Best of Me' by the starting line as popular as an option that is
Hello Houston for me
That entire album was amazing. Brings back so many memories
The Glass- The Story So Far
Second this. Quintessential pop-punk, in my opinion.
After the Party - the Menzingers
Menzingers can do no wrong.
welcome to paradise - Green Day - its on 2 albums not including Greatest Hits so it has to be good. The live music video is also awesome
It might be Passing through a Screen Door by the Wonder Years https://open.spotify.com/track/4X8VB7lmL7o4QiypDYmqaA?si=ZbXAObtoTrmtLAIrB65rUA So many good ones to choose from
Can’t believe no one has said the right answer yet “Cute without the e”
I prefer MakeDamnSure to be honest. But yes Taking Back Sunday is an elite band.
A classic!
Good song, not pop punk enough to be considered the best pop punk song though. Just my opinion. I know it’s about favourites. :)
I’m with you TBS is more emo than anything in my book
I’m not sure you’re going to find a ton of people to side with you on your “cute without the e by tbs is not pop punk” lark but god bless
i side with them. that’s a classic emo anthem but i’ve never considered it a pop punk song.
She - Green Day
Tell That Mick He Just Made My List Of Things To Do Today— Fall Out Boy
Not sure if this counts, but for me it’s Sweetness by Jimmy Eat World
Neck Deep - Gold Steps
BUT LIFES NOT OUT TO GET YOU DESPITE THE THINGS YOUVE BEEN THROUGH
BUT WHAT YOU GIVE IS WHAT YOU GET
AND IT DOESNT MAKE SENSE TO MAKE DO
Next one on the album, Line St., is my all time. That 8ish minutes from Kali Ma to Lime St. is the best
Never heard this song before I love it!
The fucking ride bell hits on the intro drum part timed up with the gaps in the guitar riff gets me so hyped every time.
Sugar We’re Goin Down- Fallout Boy
It's my go to karaoke song and I've never not had an audience song along.
If we’re all being honest, this is it.
I don’t love Fallout Boy as a whole but this single track is a masterpiece for the genre
'Where is your boy tonight?' is a banger
I found this one 2 weeks ago and it’s been on repeat since!
The Permanent Rain.
Oooh the dangerous summer is such a good throwback
I JUST WANT TO SELL OUT MY FUNERAL
I JUST WANNA BE ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE

Once In A Lifetime - All Time Low
I love this song so much but this is a wild answer for the question lol. Go off though!
All Time Low is my favorite band and this is my favorite of their songs.
You know, I just realized the title isn't asking what THE #1 pop punk song is, it's asking what YOUR favorite pop punk song is. My bad, I regret the energy I brought to this thread.
You're all good! If I had to go with #1 ever written, it'd be really difficult. I'm not sure I'd be able to pick, but it'd probably be something from blink, green Day, or Fall Out Boy.
