i think it’s more that a lot of modern pop punk should look to expand its influences. what made the 2010’s wave of pop punk so good was that bands were influenced by either hardcore or early 90’s emo. pop punk that is only influenced by pop punk is destined to be boring.

how will i know if a mix is good if i can’t get to listen to it in my car? having done three professionally recorded albums i’m trying not to be super hard on myself about a record i made in my bedroom with no producer.
