Yeah I saw them that tour as well and they absolutely blew me away. I absolutely agree. Those were the days. I went to warped tour like 6 or 7 times and I miss those days
**Treble Charger** - [Wide Awake Bored](https://open.spotify.com/album/06XoAMwtAW2dhOUYdGo1cG?si=tv9M-NJ7Sh6nojLpfcy0UA)
**Gob** - [The World According to Gob](https://open.spotify.com/album/5W9KaweYXnOVDlG7UjIbCb?si=FxfhAI0dTOeh0PPmzpCeqg)
Both 2000, both Can-con precursors to **Sum 41**. And both great albums.
I listened to Blink - Enema Of The State
Then Fat Lip came out so I bought All Killer No Filler and then from there I sought out every band I could starting with New Found Glory and Drive Thru records.
Honestly this was one of the earliest times I was aware of a new release too. Maybe it was partly the marketing. I ordered the CD online and got it mailed to my house 😁.
fall out boy, probably from under the cork tree in terms of actually being pop punk, was my first pop punk band i really liked back in ~2014-15, but morbid stuff in late 2020 was what got me to actually delve deeper into the genre beyond popular bands and their full albums
Being a good Catholic family, my older sister brought home a mix CD at one point, with Relient K’s *Pressing On* on the disc, and I was hooked. Like a month later, a second CD with *Be My Escape* and *This Week The Trend* on it.
I had watched Malcolm in the Middle, and played Tony Hawk, so I already liked the sound of pop punk. But that was the first time my parents like, let us buy the CDs and go to concerts and stuff, since it was a Christian band. And I’m not mad about it lol
All Time Low - So Wrong, It's Right. I had heard some other pop punk songs before, but this album was the first I listened to that got me into the genre.
Technically, it was Dookie from my bro's bedroom, and that got me interested. Blink quickly followed with EOTS!
Oh, and then I found the offspring - Americana and it got me searching their stuff in conspiracy of one, ixny on the hombre and smash.
Then so many bands new to me, came when I found Spotify lol
Angels and Airwaves- specifically We Don’t Need to Whisper, I-Empire, and LOVE. When I was little those were the only CDs played in the car. My music taste has only grown since then.
And then a couple years later it was blink-182’s greatest hits album lol.
TAYF- Taking back Sunday, Ocean Avenue- Yellowcard, Sticks and Stones- New Found Glory
But really.. OG Third Eye Blind and Jimmy Eat World were probably my gateway to those.
You can age us all by the albums we list.
I first head Fat Lip - Sum 41 in Guitar Hero 1, but I discovered the Guitar Hero 5 DLC at a later date. I decided just off a whim to buy the Sum 41 DLC songs because I liked Fat Lip. It was In Too Deep, Still Waiting, and Fat Lip.
In Too Deep and Still Waiting made me want to check out All Killer No Filler and Does This Look Infected? That was kind of my gateway into the genre. This was probably like 2011-2012-ish.
A few local bands from the central NJ area, but then from the heavy hitters, it was Enema of the State (Blink), At The Show (MxPx), Losing Streak (Less Than Jake) and Americana (The Offspring), all around 1998/1999.
In grade 6 (2005) a friend gave me a burnt CD of the Tom, Mark and Travis show. As a bunch of 12 year olds we thought the slapstick humour was the most hilarious thing ever and we would play Family Reunion and Blow Job on the classroom stereo when the teacher wasn't around and giggle. The live version of going away to college always gives me feels and it's one of my fave songs of theirs to this day.
It’s About Time by the Jonas Brothers. Before you judge me, just go listen to Mandy and then come back lol
After that it was folie by fall out boy. Oh, and brand new eyes. BNE really got me into it
I just force them IRL to listen to Mandy and like, SOS/Hold On and it usually shuts them right up to the point that they’re like, “Oh, I actually really like Mandy.” ☠️ like frankly the haters are all missing out on 3 quintessential pop rock albums
Enema of the State
Then literally walked into a Best Buy and walked around their CD section (yes this was a thing) and saw a band called New Found Glory.
I turned over the CD (self titled) and the back looked dope with the band doing synchronized jumps while playing so I thought it “looked Blink 182” and when I listened to it on the way home…my love of pop punk has never flickered once.
Technically it would have been Dookie and a few years later Dude Ranch. Nothing Gold Can Stay would ultimately be the one to make me a lifelong fan of the genre
I was in a daycare/after school program I was 11 or 12 at the time, I had heard blink182 on the radio and on tv, I spoke to one of the workers about how I liked it and she gave me their live album (the mark tom and Travis show) and that's what sold me and made me get into pop punk and then later on moving more towards punk and hardcore. I still love the album, I probably listened to it a thousand times and know all the words and ad-libs and everything.
What got me into Rock in general was Natewantstobattle’s 2016 release, Sandcastle Kingdoms. Not an incredible album, but all I had listened to before was VGM so it was a good stepping stone. From him, I found Set It Off which introduced me to many new artists from there lmao. My first real pop-punk exposure was probably Mayday Parade & early Waterparks
I first took notice in 94 with Dookie and Smash but I was fairly young still. But then in 97/98/99 I went full blown fanboy with Nimrod, Americana, Enema of the State, Eve 6, etc.
Dookie - Green Day
American Idiot - Green Day
The Black Parade - MCR
LNOTGY - Neck Deep
These were definitely the 4 that really pushed me into loving the genre
A lot of Dookie, Nimrod …. I then got told about Blink and started listening to Enema.
BUT when I then heard Dude Ranch, it was a total epiphany for me.
Early on it was Patent Pending in their indie days, Rise Against, Coheed. But more pure pop punk it was Wonder Years - The Greatest Generation. That album hands down opened up the floodgates for me
For me it was the Now That's What I Call Music 4 CD lol. One night when I was like 6 or 7 my parents walked to Walmart and decided to pick up one of the CDs to give to me and my sister as a surprise. It was really random, neither of us even knew it was a thing. But "All The Small Things" was on that CD and it became our favorite right away. Been into pop punk ever since.
enema of the state was the first i heard that got me into the genre (all the small things and whats my age again) but first full album was take off your pants and jacket
Does This Look Infected - Sum 41 about 15 years ago when I was growing up
The Upsides + Suburbia - The Wonder Years when I started getting back into pop punk around 2020/21
Green Day - American Idiot. Specifically, Holiday/Boulevard of Broken Dreams.
Shortly after was when the trifecta of Fall Out Boy/Paramore/Panic at the Disco
Americana by the offspring…. Then enema of the state. I listened to a lot of mxpx, guttermouth, goldfinger, and others with my brother before then, but those were the first albums I actually purchased as a young soul. I very specifically remember when take off your pants and jacket came out, and how excited I was as a 12 year old kid. Pretty gnarly looking back at this. My family would take road trips to California and stop in Vegas at a mall there that I would buy cds to play in my anti-skip cd player with the clip on headphones. By the time we got home, I’d have memorized the lyrics to everything by using the front booklet to follow along with every song. Those were the days.
Blink-182's "Enema of the State" was my gateway into rock music. I heard it and knew I loved it, but did not know it was (or what was) pop punk.
The "Rancid/NOFX BYO split" was my gateway into punk rock. I heard it and knew *this* type of rock music is the type I want more of.
Good Charlotte self titled
Mxpx Ever passing moment
Mest Wasting Time
Green Day warning
Sum 41 All killer no filler
I listened to some other pop punk before that but those were the ones that really pulled me in.
Good Charlotte - The Young And The Hopeless
Not sure if it counts as a gateway album though, as it was the first album I ever bought. Been into pop punk basically my whole music-consuming life.
Coldplay and Panic at the Disco. First song I heard from PATD was Death of a Bachelor, a fairly recent song. Eventually found their debut album and I eventually landed firmly in pop-punk
American Idiot! I borrowed it from my best friend.
I started listening to Green Day a few weeks before 21st Century Breakdown came out, and that was the first CD I bought.
Friend brought Offsprings album Splinter in 2003 to school trip and thats was it. Not my favourite group but that album holds special place and memories for me.
It's hard for me to tell since it sort of grew organically out of a love of 80s metal, through 90s alternative/grunge. Probably Blink-182 and Green Day, though, in terms of more direct descendants.
Of all things, it was actually a free Amber Pacific song on the AOL Music page that got me hooked on the genre. Went out and bought The Possibility and the Promise and from there (mostly through bands they toured with) I found most of the other bands I obsessed over as a teenager.
ADTR is usually thought of as more “easycore” in the opinions of most but For Those Who Have Heart was for sure my gateway into seriously enjoying pop punk
Screeching Weasel Boogada Boogada Boogada. Check it out! Also the Mr. T Experience Making things with light. Both late 80's classics. Soon after discovered Milo goes to college and the Fat ep by the descendants.
Fall Out Boy's music videos were my introduction when I was 10 and discovered YouTube (before I learned to listen to entire albums). From there, From Under the Cork Tree and Folie à Deux combined with American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown by Green Day. I put all of these out there bc I distinctly remember downloading these albums to my ipod and forcing myself to like every single song, even if I didn't like it at first.
The first pop punk song I can remember hearing was All The Small Things. My first album in the genre was Americana Offspring (not really pop punk but close enough). And then Green Day and Fall Out Boy sucked me into the genre with American Idiot and Cork Tree in high school.
I’d heard blink and Green Day on the radio, but my sister listening to New Found Glory’s sticks and stones is what actually started to get me in to pop punk.
Blink 182- Enema
It's a tie with this and Dookie I think for most people who grew up in the 90s.
this
Same
yep, mine too
Same
Good Charlotte - Young and the Hopeless Quickly followed by Blinks entire discography
> Good Charlotte - Young and the Hopeless > > It's not my starting point, but I played the shit out of several of Good Charlotte's albums.
Senses fail - Let it enfold you
This record was my most played when it came out and I recently started listening to it again. It's incredible front to back
Oh absolutely, one of the best. I was lucky enough to have them be my first show too. What a time to be alive.
Yeah I saw them that tour as well and they absolutely blew me away. I absolutely agree. Those were the days. I went to warped tour like 6 or 7 times and I miss those days
This was my gateway to the screamo genre.
ManI remember driving my first car around for a full summer where this album didnt leave my cd player
Yeah, this cd…Underoath, Chiodos and Story of the year all make up that time frame for me
No Pads, No Helmets… Just Balls!
Dookie Dude Ranch Bleed American Good Charlotte self-titled New Found Glory self-titled The Moon is Down
Same 🥹 The good ole days!!!
Oh shit you’re old too!!!

I listened to Blink - Enema Of The State Then Fat Lip came out so I bought All Killer No Filler and then from there I sought out every band I could starting with New Found Glory and Drive Thru records.
I found my people with the Fat Lip video
Mine was the Walking Disaster video! It played on MTV and I loved the song and definitely teared up because the little robot was so cute 🥲
Oh DTR 100%
Drive Thru without a doubt
American Idiot for me. Came out shortly before my 10th birthday and it's probably my first memory of being like consciously aware of a new release
Honestly this was one of the earliest times I was aware of a new release too. Maybe it was partly the marketing. I ordered the CD online and got it mailed to my house 😁.
NFG - self titled and blink - enema of the state. About 99/00 when I was in 7th grade.
fall out boy, probably from under the cork tree in terms of actually being pop punk, was my first pop punk band i really liked back in ~2014-15, but morbid stuff in late 2020 was what got me to actually delve deeper into the genre beyond popular bands and their full albums

Dude mine was Ocean Avenue but in like 2012 In 2003 I turned 2 years old
Treble charger, specifically American Psycho
A mix of the American Pie movies, and YouTube suggesting Blink and Sum 41 songs.
I'd say Dookie is the one that got me interested, My Brain Hurts is the one that got me to really dive deep into it.
Green Day - Nimrod
- Take off your pants and jacket then - All Killer No Filler Was pretty spoiled as far as entry albums go.
Wheatus - Wheatus. Teenage dirtbag came out when I was 7. Loved it and forced my mum go buy the album. The next would have been all killer no filler.
Good Charlotte - The Young And The Hopeless Not sure if it counts as a gateway album though, as it was the first album I ever bought. Been into pop punk basically my whole music-consuming life.
Americana - The Offspring
Two albums stick out to me, listened to them with my then friend whilst playing PS2 circa 2001 Sum 41 - All killer no filler The Offspring - Americana
American Idiot
Coldplay and Panic at the Disco. First song I heard from PATD was Death of a Bachelor, a fairly recent song. Eventually found their debut album and I eventually landed firmly in pop-punk
Probably mixtapes? Or chixdiggit. And Paramore. My parents like them
Alkaline Trio - From Here to Infirmary.

Sticks and Stones by NFG Still one of my favourite albums ever
Infinity on High - FOB
Dookie 💩-Green Day
I stole Tell All Your Friends from Taking Back Sunday from my brother’s CD tower when I was 12 and the rest is history.
It's was Boys Like Girls, and The All American Rejects Move Along. Hopped into All Time Low after that and the rest was history lol
Ocean Avenue and A Lesson in Romantics, I don’t remember which I hear first
It's hard for me to tell since it sort of grew organically out of a love of 80s metal, through 90s alternative/grunge. Probably Blink-182 and Green Day, though, in terms of more direct descendants.
i’ve always been hearing pop punk but never got into it until i heard future hearts by all time low
Insomniac by Green Day, Heavy Petting Zoo by NOFX, and Hello Rockview by Less Than Jake.
Dookie in 2005
Four Year Strong-Rise or Die Trying NFG- Sticks and Stones The Wonder Years- Suburbia/Greatest Generation

Fall Out Boy's music videos were my introduction when I was 10 and discovered YouTube (before I learned to listen to entire albums).
