"When bands like Green Day, The Offspring, NOFX and Rancid helped pop punk explode in 1994/1995, the mainstream called it a “punk revival” because it was the first time that punk had a real mainstream presence since the first-wave ’70s bands. But as many people knew then and even more people know now, the mid ’90s pop punk boom wasn’t a revival of anything; it was the culmination of a sound that had been bubbling on an underground level since the early 1980s."
