How To Write A Good Pop Punk Song Like It's 2005
Stream "2005" here: distrokid.com/...
On this week's episode of Punk Rock 101 I break down my songwriting process and give some tips on writing a good pop punk song that will bring you back to the early 2000's with bands like Green Day, Fall Out Boy, Blink 182, Weezer, Good Charlotte, Sum 41, Simple Plan, and so many more. So let's write a tune that will bring all of those Warped Tour feels and make you feel like you're hanging at the Hot Topic in the mall. I include everything from writing the lyrics to guitar parts.

Learning the songs from a band you like to get a feel for the song structure/style is a pro-level tip, it will skyrocket your progression like nothing else!

The advice to analyze the songs of your favorite musicians is really good! Recently, every time when I don't know how to develop my idea, I try to determine which band it's most similar in style, after I listen some songs of this band and try to analyze what they consist of, their structure Often it really helps a lot!
been trying to work on this song for 3 months now and I can finally spice it up lmao thanks sm

Ahh thank you I’ve been working & writing on pop punk songs, & I used to be really trash at writing pop punk songs due to the fact I hadn’t written any to the genre but now I know what to do
as much as I love 2000s pop punk, I really want to learn how to approach writing songs like the story so far, neck deep, the wonder years, bands like that. If you could release it, that would be awesome!

hey man I really like your video! I think they would blow up sooner if you switch between the Daw view and the camera view as the main focus so people are more engaged with the video. Keep it up!

The speedrun chorus holds up surprisingly well. I just listened to Letterbomb, and they get to a wordless chorus at 35 seconds as part of the buildup, and then the lyrics for the first verse start at 46 seconds

yooo im super glad!!! you working on some music?
It's also fun to start with the chorus acapella which has the title of the song and is the part that the crowd eventually sings all by themselves before you repeat the chorus once more resolving in a thunderous seemingly neverending outro like you're Metallica or something - No "This next song is called..." introduction needed because the title of the song is immediately recognized by the fans who start cheering - Now they can't wait until the chorus comes by again so they can sing along - By letting the crowd take over just before the last time you repeat the chorus again they get a sense of unity and belonging like they're part of the band and not just an observer - Stretched out climactic outro with lots of guitar stunts while everyone cheers "Yay I can't wait to tell my grandkids I was here!" I heard Dave Grohl mention how Aerosmith starts a lot of songs with the chorus/songtitle and I realized I never did that for some reason 🤷🏼♂️ and the Toy Dolls taught me how important it is to get a crowd going and made me realize I'd rather have a humorous than a serious approach to song topics and lyrics I'll never be good enough to take myself seriously as a musician anyway and all I really want is for everyone just to have a good time
ironically in 2005 almost none of the techniques used for writting the song in the vid were available.
that intro scared the shit out of me

So did you reuse the first hook as your chorus? I didn’t hear you talk about what exactly you played for the chorus.
