Twenty years after Avril Lavigne released her first album, "Let Go," the pop-punk star is back with a new record.Her return coincides with a resurgence of the pop-punk genre. Olivia Rodrigo brought the early 2000s sound to the radio last year with her hit, "good 4 u" and Machine Gun Kelly's 2020 album hit number one. Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker launched a new label, DTA Records, that fosters pop-punk artists like jxdn and Willow.Today's pop-punk sound is similar to twenty years ago, though it's more likely to blend with other genres like electronic music and hip hop. Its creators, though, are more diverse than back then.Put on your band tee and eyeliner, because the 1A Record Club is breaking down the resurgence of pop-punk.Want to support 1A?
