Ultimate 90s Pop Punk Playlist

The Ultimate 90s Pop Punk playlist has “dropped!” The 1990s are when pop punk became mainstream, infecting radios and the minds of teenagers all over the world. I’ve collected the most influential and well-known pop-punk hits all into one playlist for your listening pleasure.

Vans Warped Tour. Hot Topic. Skateboarding. Always questioning if something was truly “punk” enough.

Pop punk music was defined by its simple, catchy songs backed up with distorted rock guitars and big singalong choruses. Topics were the usual teenage tropes of heartache mixed in with heavy dose of youthful rebellion, feelings of alienation and even depression, and not being “part of the crowd.”

Even if you’ve never heard pop punk or don’t exactly love this kind of music, it’s always good to explore what makes other genres of music “work.”

Inspiration and creative ideas come from all kinds of places.. why not this pop punk playlist?

The names of all the songs and artists are included here in case the Spotify playlist gets taken down or stops working for whatever reason. I’m embedding the music video (if there is one) for the song so you can see what pop punk was all about too.
