Punk

Rooted in garage rock and other forms of what is now known as protopunk music, punk rock bands eschewed the perceived excesses of mainstream 1970s rock.

Punk embraces a DIY (do it yourself) ethic, with many bands self-producing their recordings and distributing them through informal channels. Read more…|Edit this Artist photo: The Toy Dolls

It definitely has the powerpop influences, but it's just 80s skate/pop punk. Listen to Cheshire Cat please.

Haha that might be true, but blink's first 3 albums are well defined poppunk like Descendents & Screeching Weasel. You probably haven't heard from those band I guess?

I hear more similarity between Green Day and Tokio Hotel than between Green Day and The Ramones.

Yeah MDC was a hardcore punk band, influenced by Dead Kennedy's, Crass and Sex Pistols. Not close to the old Green Day 3 chordish pop songs, which are definitely influenced by the Ramones, The Who, The Kinks and little part of the British scene with the Buzzcocks and the Damned.
