Mine is and probably always will be Jawbreaker's "Chesterfield King".
I also have a soft spot for Japan-via-Denver band Electric Summer's "Shock", which has some of the worst drum rolls ever and features a chorus of:
Shock! I'm a panda
Shock! I'm a picture
Shock! I'm a soda
Shock! I'm a panda
What's yours?

If it does, I'm drinking Dran-O.

9I don't understand the 'pop-punk' genre. Weren't Ramones pop (not the attitude, but they played short, catchy songs) in a way? Same with Sex Pistols. So, if this is 'punk', 'pop' already is there, no?
Unless we're talking about Blink 182 (185?)... But we aren't, obviously, as there is nothing to talk about.

10What Ty said.
Also, "Pop-punk" doesn't generally refer to the Buzzcocks and the Ramones (i.e. punk that could easily be considered catchy), but rather to Fat Wreck-Chords type stuff, as well as all that mall-friendly tripe that fills stadiums and study halls with ease. Stuff like like Blink 182, Sum 41. The kind of music I can't be in the same room with, basically. All of it. Almost all of it, anyway, if you want to include Jawbreaker (who to me were always sort of "borderline indie" if you will).
I attended the first Warped Tour. Reluctantly, I might add.
Played in a band once with a guy -- nice dude, don't get me wrong, still friends with him to this day -- who was so into pop-punk (albeit the more indie strands of it) that it became something of an impasse. And after a while his clutching to it struck me as betraying a kind of intellectual and artistic stuntedness.
There's so much else out there. That such unremarkable music gets so much attention at the expense of all this truly bad ass music young people should be embracing, that makes me feel zero pity.
