Punk-pop of the late 1990s was a good genre

1. Bouncing Souls: Wish Me Well (You Can Go To Hell)

2. Mr T Experience - You're The Only One

3. Bad Religion - Raise Your Voice (fanmade video contains POINTS ABOUT FREE SPEECH)

This is mid-90s, but I am a long-term lover of Lookout!'s HEIDE SEZ compilation, which seems relevant here.

I still love BS Wish me Well. I haven't heard that in ages until now.

I LOVED the Mr. T Experience when I was in High School. Even Hitler had a Girlfriend = classic.

How'd The Date End? by MTE also great.

What's really weird about that BS track is that the female vocalist on it, Kara Weathington, has seemingly done nothing else in her life (Your search - "Kara Weathington" -bouncing - did not match any documents.)

Oh I know. I've looked for info on her before.

Say Anything might by my other favorite Bouncing Souls song.

Absolutely but I lived for this shit when I was 16-20 so will always have a fondness for it and still think some of it was genuinely great.

Strangely enough got an email from a friend this morning asking if I'd want to go to upcoming Bouncing Souls 20th anniversary show for old time's sake. I think I just might do it.

Hey Bouncing Souls fans -- can you clear up this mystery?
Why was "Ballad of Johnny X" the bane of this band?
I remember radio DJs making a point of not playing this song and going on air saying "do not request this song because I won't play it"

Is it like their Freebird? How did that come about?

Punk pop of the late 90s?`
When I think punk pop and 90s, I think the mid 90s (Offspring and Green Day)

It was an American thing, particularly along the Northeast coast

this stuff often went hand in hand with late 90s ska, but people are less willing to admit their former love for Reel Big Fish and Mustard Plug

No Use For A Name and Millencolin were standouts too.

x-post Was never into RBF but I will admit to listening to all that ska-punk stuff at the time too. The Allstonians, Skanking Pickle, Bim Skala Bim, Ska King Crab etc. but hey, I was 16 and you're allowed to listen to shitty music at that age. Also, it all kind of went together as Burt said. Was also into a lot of NY/east coast hardcore at that time too.
