Too Punk to be Pop The musical world has an almost limitless amount of sounds and styles to choose from.

On November 13th I went to Tramps in New York to see one of my favorite bands, MxPx. MxPx is a Christian pop-punk band. Pop punk basically means happy punk. The band members, are Mike Herrera who plays bass and sings, Tom Wisniewski who plays guitar and Yuri Ruley plays drums.

At the show, the first song they played was one of my favorite's, "Teenage Politics". Some

voices complain about their girlfriends dumping them, like EMO. I listen to hard thrashing heavy metal, punk and hardcore music. They actually are singing about the real things that people should care about friends betraying each other, being straightedge, or not being a follower of the pop music. Sure I listen to different music, I’ll listen to just about any except for rap, country, emo, pop culture music (blink 182 and Brittany Spear crap).
