Fluff Punk

[_jr_]

You know, the tides are starting to turn in my house. My kids are 10 now, and they are discovering music. My daughter moreso than my son.

Ever since they were small, I would always let them pick what we would listen to in the car when I would take them somewhere.

So now, my kids are turning dear old dad onto some of their stuff. It all has the same quality of sound. Kind of punk, but more melodic and not really malicious.

I'm not sure of all the bands, so maybe you folks can help me out.

I know the Green Day when I hear it. They're easily identifiable.

Let's see....what else...oh, there's Stacy's Mom. I like that one. It's catchy.

Riot Girl is cool.

There's one band that does two songs, 1985 and another one that I like, but the name escapes me now.

Kryptonite is good.

There's another one I forget the name but the chorus is "I almost had you", where all the lines are "I almost did this", "I almost did that", etc, etc. I like that one, too.

I am not good with the names, but those are some of the ones I like.

Fluff Punk, right?

Anyone know any other stuff along these lines?

Green Day is the only fluff punk that I like.

Blink 182 and Rancid.

I'm cute and fluffy, although you can't tell it by my photo in my avatar.

You'd be talking about Bowling For Soup with the 1985 song. They're okay. 3 Doors Down are okay too. I cannot stand Simple Plan, but my best friend loves them so I am subjected to hours of 'fluff punk'

The Stacy's Mom one is Fountains of Wayne

Jr....Bowling for Soup also does the song "Almost", which is the one you were talking about where the chorus says "I almost had you"

I like the classification of "fluff punk" that you gave..it's cute, and it probably fits just as well as pop punk, which is what I would describe it as.

I think FOuntains of Wayne is one of the best fluff punk out there. Although you can't really tell from the song Stacey's Mom. Although the album it's off of "Welcome Interstate Managers" is pretty strong otherwise.

That's what it is. Punk Lite. LOL.

I've heard 'Mexican wine' by Fountains of Wayne. I like it... it's like poppy punk/ Something I wouldn't mind listening to when I'm sitting vela but not a song I'd buy the album for.

I used to watch them when they played local shows outside Fountains of Wayne (yes, its the name of a store in Wayne NJ). I like the song Hackensack off Welcome... but it's not fluff punk, it's more mellow. The ablum Utopia Parkway is pretty decent too.

I love Green Day.

I hate most of the stuff in that catagory but I am obsessed with Green Day, less so with their newer stuff but I love them.
