Coventions of a Pop Punk Music Video

Pop punk (also known as punk-pop) is a fusion music genre that combines elements of punk rock with pop music to varying degrees. The music typically combines fast punk tempos, chord changes and loud guitars with pop-influenced melodies and lyrical themes. 

A little background/history:

Pop-influenced punk rock emerged in the mid 1970s with a music style that was stylistically similar to power pop. By the mid 1980s, several bands merged hardcore punk with pop music to create a new, faster pop punk sound. Pop punk in the United States began to grow in popularity locally in California in the mid to late 1980s with the formation of new bands such as Green Day and The Offspring. Pop punk particularly thrived in California, where independent record labels adopted a do it yourself (DIY) approach to releasing music.

Characteristics:

AllMusic describes pop punk as a strand of alternative rock that typically merges pop melodies with speedy punk rock tempos, chord changes and loud guitars. About.com has described second-wave pop punk bands as having "a radio friendly sheen to their music, but still maintaining much of the speed and attitude of classic punk rock"
The New York Times writes that the music of the pop punk band Green Day revolves around "classic pop problems like relationships and girl trouble and modern punk problems like alienation and confusion."

When looking at Pop Punk Music video's there were many reoccurring themes, here are some I spotted:

• bright colours and lighting which can be referred to as fun and exciting
• live clips of the band playing to the audience with different montages 
• cuts and edited to the beat
• MANY close up of the artist and bands
• many have narratives or go against typical conventions which express the characteristics of Pop Punk
• humorous,which represents the down to earth personality of the band/ artist such as Blink 182 such as All The Small Things takes the 'mick' out of other conventions to create their own video
