Pop punk is one of the few genres of music that seemed to come and go, and yet it’s been here all along. The style had a big moment over a decade ago, when artists like Good Charlotte, New Found Glory, Simple Plan and a whole host of others broke into the mainstream in a major way, charting big hits and selling millions of albums. The good times didn’t last long, and now many of those same chart-toppers have a cache to their names that makes them feel somewhat dated.

That may be the case, but pop punk didn’t die with the rise of electronic music, and in fact, it’s still growing. There is an incredible amount of great pop punk music out there these days, and new bands are forming all the time. If you haven’t investigated the scene in a few years, here are 8 acts that you’ll want to listen to for all of the coming year.

This band might be the most exciting new name in pop punk, and they are absolutely one to watch for not just 2017, but years to come. They’re certainly talented enough to make a name for themselves, but they also have some powerful forces at work for their benefit. The group is managed by the two brothers from Good Charlotte (Benji and Joel Madden), who have also been helping out when it comes to producing duties.
