Theme-Genre Declaration
My themed genre of defying authority in pop punk and post hardcore music came about because these styles of music are one that I really enjoy listening to. I've found in most cases that among other themes, many songs seem to be about defying an authority figure, or otherwise "sticking it to the man". The Vans Warped Tour, featuring these styled bands each summer, was mostly how I got introduced to these genres, and from the start I really liked it. Pop punk and post hardcore is almost as an acquired taste, the more you listen, the deeper you get drawn in. The reason I like it so much, i think, is because it is so different from what one usually hears on the radio. It has a more raw sound, therefore making it more relatable. Because of this common recurrence of defying authority being so relevant in a style of music I love, I decided it would be a good choice to write about.
