Known for it's catchiness and may include 60's-esque Pop vocals and harmonies. Tends to be very poppy, upbeat and fun. Can include elements of Hard Rock and Pop Punk or synthesizers among others. Influenced and related to genres such as New Wave and Jangle Pop, Pop Punk. and Indie Rock.

Well known artists who have played Powerpop include:

Big Star
Redd Kross
The Undertones

But those are just a few and there is many more with much more variety.

mallgoth

They think they're Goths and sadly so do other people including even Metalheads.
They wear Hot Topic clothing and coincidentally they listen to music like Slipknot, Korn, H.I.M, Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir (I still like them though), Rob Zombie, Marylin Manson, Mudvayne, lots of Nu-Metal in general and then some real Metal too (mostly older stuff) and they think their "Metal" music is Goth. They're probably worse than this "Emo" trend because they actually think they're Goth or Metalhead and so do other people; there's probably more of them than there are real Goths.

Guy wearing a Slipknot shirt with dyed hair and baggy pants: I'm a Goth \m/

Me: *mallgoth* quietly

Pearl Jam

1. Shiny and white like pearls, sticky like jam, if you didn't already know: it's semen.

2. Probably one of the worst "Grunge" bands, or at least one with the worst influence on "Modern Rock" bands from the mid 90's onwards.

"It's sad that when people think of Pearl Jam, they think of that band instead of the fluid which carries with it the potential for human life."

"Anna enjoyed some pearl jam last night"

Someone who knows anything about Emo or Metal: Uhh...
