Top Five Punk Rock Bands of the Decade

Punk has been around for almost 40 years now and is one of the most prevalent music genres

today. In the past 20 years, the face of punk has transformed a great deal, rather than

wholesome punk, this is the age of Pop-Punk, also, in the early 2000s, most of the punk bands

sidetracked their punk roots and started experimenting with Alternative Rock.

In our last article we talked about the Godfathers of Punk rock, and now were back with a new

list. The top five Punk/Pop-Punk bands of this decade are:

1. Green Day is definitely a punk legend. No other band of the past decade, (except maybe

Blink182) has turned Punk into a mainstream music genre like Green Day. Its safe to assume

that every punk fan has at least two or three Green Day songs listed as their all-time favorites.

Some of the best work by Green Day so far:

2. Blink 182 earned its success by making hardcore punk songs in their early years. Although,

they have been on-again, off-again ever since they first disbanded in 2005, every time they

come back its with a bang. Here are a few must -try Blink 182 songs:

3. All Time Low is the best Pop-Punk band around. The group was formed in 2003 as a high

school band. Albeit being a punk band, ATL have a knack for creating best party songs. Their

music is upbeat and the lyrics are catchy. All Time Low definitely deserve to be in this list. Five

ATL songs worth listening to:

Break Your Little Heart

4. Paramore is another Pop-Punk band you dont want to miss. But unlike All Time Low, songs by

Paramore have darker lyrics and heavier tunes. This is one of the very few female-fronted punk bands.

Paramore is a rather recent band and has gained rapid success owing to its unique style. Few Paramore

songs that you must check out:

5. Fall Out Boy is another renowned Pop-Punk band, creating the finest punk music year after year.

Although, like almost every other punk band, Fall Out Boy has also tried their hand at other genres like

Alternative Rock, Soft Rock etc., but the core of Fall Out Boys essence remains the same Pop-Punk.
