Despite it being 2026, it looks like something took everyone back to 2016 in one of the most recent trends across social media. Let’s take a look back at the possible revival of pop-punk.
Between 5 Seconds of Summer returning to pop-punk in their latest album, “Everyone’s A Star!” and new artists singing in the genre, a new era of pop-punk is here. However, a look back to 2016 shows familiar bands Green Day, blink-182 and Panic! At The Disco who were staples a decade ago and made way for other artists to fill in the pop-punk scene. Artists that look to be filling in have this 5S0S-style beat in their music, like MICO in his most recent single, “Without Me,” and also have raspy pop-punk-like vocals, like Aries in “ANESTHESIA” and Machine Gun Kelly in “vampire diaries,” songs from their most recent albums.
This playlist gives a balance of 2016 throwbacks and recent works from artists to show that, while the 2016 trend may be short-lived, pop-punk is here to stay.
