I think it will have a few facts that are true but Wikipedia is a sight that you are able to trust as much as anyone is able to edit the information. Summary Here an article is talking about how pop punk is a music genre that combines both punk rock and pop music. It also then goes on to tell you about what the music generally is like with its fast tempos and distorted electric guitars. After this it goes on telling you how this genre came about in the mid 1970s with a music style that would be similar to power pop. But the by the mid 1980s you had bands that came out with the genre hardcore punk with pop music to create a new but faster pop punk sound. In the United states pop punk started to grow more popularity especially in California more towards the mid to late 1990s. It was only during this time that a few pop punk bands did start to sell millions of records and also receive radio and television airplay. But by 1994 pop punk started to grow more in the mainstream popularity. You then had the 2000s were emo pop started to fusion more with pop punk and managed to receive commercial success. But by the end of the 2000s the pop punk genre that started around the 1990s had a large mainstream popularity. Quotes “Pop punk (also known as punk-pop) is a music genre that fuses elements of punk rock and pop music.”- Anon Wikipedia “by the mid-1980s, several bands merged hardcore punk with pop music to create a new, faster pop punk sound”- Anon Wikipedia “By the mid-1990s, a few pop punk bands had started to sell millions of records and receive extensive radio and television airplay.”- Anon Wikipedia “By the end of the 2000s, the pop punk sound of the 1990s had largely waned in mainstream popularity.”- Anon Wikipedia Further Research After reading this article I think some further research that I would be able to do is look more at the history of the genre pop punk and see what bands did start off doing this kind of music. But I think also it would be a good idea to look more into the popularity of this music as I still know that its not as big as pop music. But it is a genre that is still gaining popularity.

Tags- Emo pop, Pop punk, Bands, MTV, Fueled by Ramen, Fall Out Boy, Paramore, Emo, Music, Songs, Billboard hot 100 I don’t think this article is very trustworthy. I think it will have a few facts that are true but Wikipedia is a sight that you are able to trust as much as anyone is able to edit the information. Summary This article is talking more about the genre pop punk and how it came along and its fusion combing the genre of emo as well which is where you will get your emo punk from. As this kind of genre (Pop punk) came more popular in the mid 2000s with record labels such as Fueled by Ramen who released platinum albums from bands such as Fall out Boy, Panic! at the Disco and Paramore. It then goes back to talking about the fans of pop punk music and that they will deny the association between the bands they like labeled as being emo. After this it goes on talk more about the band Fall out Boy and some of the success they have had with some of their albums and singles that have released over the years. As it wasn’t till their album in 2005 (From Under the Cork Tree) that they were finally able to achieve mainstream success. They then went on to other bands or artists that have has success with some of the albums and singles they have released for example Panic! At The Disco were on Billboard hot 100 at number 7 with their single of I Write Sins, Not Tragedies. They then went on to talk about another pop punk band (Paramore) who didn't hit mainstream success till the late 2000s. Quotes “While many pop punk fans adamantly deny any association between their favorite acts and those labeled emo, crossover bands who melded the two have gradually put both genres in the same scene boat.”- Anon Wikipedia “Although Fall Out Boy had been staple of the Chicago hardcore scene, where they mixed pop sensibilities with hardcore punk, they are widely considered a pop punk and emo pop act.”- Anon Wikipedia “Paramore achieved mainstream success in the late 2000s. During the late 2000s, many Paramore songs were on the Billboard Hot 100. Paramore's song ”Misery Business" peaked at number 26 on the Billboard Hot 100 in January 2008. Paramore's song”- Anon Wikipedia Further Research I think after reading article it has opened me up into finding bands in this genre to research into. As I have Fall out Boy, Paramore and Panic! At the Disco that I got from this article that I can do even more research into which I then think I will also research articles about them, interviews but I think looking into things like their music videos good be a good thing to also research into. To see what they do similar with them all being from the same music genre.

Last accessed 5th Feb 2018 Tags- Fall out Boy, Patrick Stump, Soul Punk, Rolling Stone, Haters, Blog Summary This article is based off a blog that the lead singer of Fall out boy, Patrick Stump, wrote during their break that lasted from 2009-2012. He wrote this blog in 2012 towards the end of this hiatus which is also when they wrote this article. This concentrates more about the haters that Patrick had gotten during this time when he tried to release a solo album called Soul Punk. As he first started to get hate when Fall out Boys album Folie A Deux was released due to the fact they changed their sound a little so due to the this when on stage they would be booed at which is something they were not used too. He would get letters to his house as well on saying that fans liked him better when he was fat after the singer went though a big weight loss. But because of all the hate that the lead singer has gotten he has then gone on to talk about his fear to perform again any time soon. Due to the hate he got from his last album with Fall out Boy and the hate he then got when doing shows for his own solo album. Quotes “Whatever notoriety Fall Out Boy used to have prevents me from having the ability to start over from the bottom again”- Patrick Stump ”Stumps post is extremely candid and often quite heartbreaking, particularly as he describes being insulted and harassed by his own fans.”- Matthew Perpetua (Article writer) “Kids that paid for tickets to my solo shows to tell me how much I sucked without Fall Out Boy, that wasn’t something I suppose I was or ever will be ready for” – Patrick Stump “Touring on Folie was like being the last act as the vaudeville show: We were the rotten vegetable targets.”- Patrick Stump Further Research For further research I think there is a few different paths that I could take this. As I think for starters I could have a read at the real blog of Patrick Stump where he writes about Has-been at 27. As I think this would get me more insight on what this article is talking about. After that I think I could then look into articles on their album Folie A Deux but maybe also look at awards it could have gotten and anything like that. Then another article that would be good to look at is on the album Soul Punk as you could then compare these two by the bad reputation they have spoken about having in this article. Then lastly I could then go into looking at article or interviews on the hiatus from 2009-2012. I do believe that this article is trustworthy in the fact it is true and I can take facts from due to the fact firstly they have wrote this article about a blog which already limits them on things they can write about and secondly the article is by Rolling Stones which is a massive brand that not only releases articles online but also a magazine which people will read to get the gossip on these bands so I do believe it to be trustworthy.

Available: http://underthegunreview.net/2012/02/28/editorial- the-cure-to-growing-older-a-musical-retrospective/. Last accessed 5th Feb 2018. Summary This article is more of a blog written by a fan back in 2012 about the album From Under the Cork Tree which was released back in 2005. It first starts off with talking about middle school and what it was like while he was growing especially with how strict his parents were. As he tells you that From under the Cork Tree was also his first CD that he illegally burned which is when he learned that his friend Josh wasn't the best person to ask when burning a CD due to the fact that it ended up having one song missing. But from this he carried on searching for similar music and basing conversations around it too. Quotes “That thing was Chicago based, pop-punk band Fall Out Boy and they were not allowed. ”- Jacob Tender “My copy of FUCT was missing track 1. For those who have heard “Our Lawyer Made Us Change the Name of This Song So We Wouldn’t Get Sued,” - Jacob Tender “The second thing I learned was that my mother is not a fan of obscure lyrics referring to sex and blasphemy.”- Jacob Tender Further Research I think this has opened up for me to do research on more of the albums the band has released and to see more feedback from their audience. As this way I am able to see what it is that people like about this band and what them people also may have in common. But this could also open me up to compare this guys experience of Fall out Boy to someone else's experience to a different band. As I think that could be a good thing to compare as well. Tags Fall out Boy, From Under the Cork Tree, Album, Music, Songs, Forbidden, Childhood, Transformation, Patrick Stump, Take this to Your Grave, Sugar We’re Going Down. I do believe that this article is trustworthy for the simple fact that its about someone's life. So its mainly about their opinion on the whole thing. For example the album to them it is complete yet other people will know that it is missing a song. So I think if I wanted to I could take quotes and things from this article for the fact it is someone's opinion.
- 6. Baltin, S. (2017). Why Panic! At The Disco Is One Of Rock's Best Success Stories. Available: https://www.forbes.com/sites/stevebalti n/2017/04/03/why-panic-at-the-disco- is-one-of-rocks-best-success- stories/#1873a6704d71. Last accessed 19th Feb 2018. Summary This article talks about Panic at the Disco and their lead singer Brendon Urie and how he's the type of guy everyone would love to hang out with. As they even talk about how easy he is to interview with his constant laughing and smiling. It then goes on to talk a bit about their albums and some of their singles. As in 2005 their debut Fever you Cant Sweat out included the bands biggest hit I Write sins not Tragedies which sold over 1.8 million copies. Then in their current album Death of A Bachelor which has one original member left of the band (Brendon) sold 190,000 copies in the first week of its release bringing the bands first number 1 album. Quotes “he band formed in 2004, going platinum with their 2005 debut, A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out, thanks in large part to the band’s smash hit single, “I Write Sins Not Tragedies.” That album, at 1.8 million copies sold, is still the band’s biggest seller.”- Steve Baltin “2013’s Too Weird To Live, Too Rare To Die!, which debuted at No 2 on the Billboard Top 200 with 84,000 copies sold.”- Steve Baltin “But Urie’s personality, which comes across in videos and in the social media posts he used so expertly setting up this album, was the biggest thing.”-Steve Baltin Further Research I think because this article spoke a lot about their music and albums I think the best thing to do would be to look more into their music and maybe see how it has changed over the years. As by the looks of this article there music has been a big hit through out the years they have been with a record. I think it would be best to look at especially I Write sins not Tragedies and then their album Death of a Bachelor. I'm not too sure if this article is very trust worthy I think the things that I do think are trustworthy are the writers opinions. But I'm not too sure about the statics I think if I was to then research into more I would be able to tell if I am able to trust these facts. Tags- Panic!

- 7. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vc6vs-l5dkc Summary You could say that this video is a little weird as some of the content does go with the lyrics but there is some stuff that don’t go too well and you do wonder why its there. This could be something that does make the song so much more popular. As its the most popular and listened too song by Panic! At the Disco. To the point that the lead singer Brendon Urie has become sick of singing it and will change the lyrics when performing live. The most known lyric in the song is ‘Haven't you heard of closing a goddam door” Which I guess in a way does go with the video for the fact that at the wedding the groom catches the bridesmaid cheating. But what is highly weird about the video is the circus aspect of it. But when looking in to it you get to the point where Brendon Urie is playing the conscience of the groom as he tells the story through his lyrics. As when the bride is talking to the waiter that’s when the groom finds out that he has been cheated on hence the lyric about shutting the door. Then to explain the circus aspect of it the people that you already see sitting down who look all fancy are the brides family then the clowns end up representing the grooms family. Quotes “What a beautiful wedding, says a bridesmaid to a waiter And, yes, but what a shame”- Brendon Urie “I chime in with a Haven't you ever heard of closing a goddamn door? No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality”- Brendon Urie “I mean, technically, our marriage is saved Well this calls for a toast So pour the champagne”- Brendon Urie Further Research I think with this I could research even more into the lyrics and the meanings. Which could then also lead me to researching in who wrote the lyrics and what inspired such a song t be written. For the fact that it is a lot different to some of their current music and you are able to see how much they have grown over the years. Tags- Panic! At The Disco, Single, YouTube, Music, Music Video, Brendon Urie, Wedding, Clowns, Cheating Yes I do think this is trustworthy as this is something that the band has made but also I think with music videos you are able to come up with your own meaning of what it cold mean. Even if the band has told you what the meaning is your able to still see the music video from your opinion.
- 8. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeQafFIfLNc Summary This isn't much of a music video or anything it is just the band performing live on the Ellen Show. I think I wanted to researching in to this video as it shows more of the bands personality and how well they do live. Which they sound unbelievable live especially the lead singer Brendon Urie as even though you can see him having the time of his life dancing and singing. He is still able to hit each and every note even those high ones. I think especially this performance shows you the personality of the singer that a lot of interviews will talk about the fact that he is just doing what he enjoys and that’s something you are able to see in his performance. Which I think in my opinion compare to the original music video I think this live performance is much better for the fact that the energy really radiates off it. Quotes “Tonight we are victorious Champagne pouring over us”- Brendon Urie “Double bubble disco queen headed to the guillotine”- Brendon Urie “My touch is black and poisonous And nothing like my punch-drunk kiss”- Brendon Urie “Oh we gotta turn up the crazy Livin' like a washed up celebrity Shooting fireworks like it's the fourth of July”- Brendon Urie Further Research I think after this I could research more in to their song lyrics and where it is they may find inspiration to do these. But also want to know more about who it is that may write their songs for them or if it is the band that writes their own lyrics and comes up with what it they want to do for their albums and music. But also I think that I would like to research more into other tv shows that they have performed on. I do think this article is reliable for the fact that it’s a live performance of the band from a TV show. I think this helps with my research as I am able to see how well they do perform live so looking at their talent but also if they are just standing and singing or if they are putting on a show for people. Which is something I was able to see with this video but I can also see a massive difference in personality from the other video I had researched of theirs. But between the two you also have the age gap of a few years. Tags- Panic At The Disco, Live performance, Ellen show, YouTube, High notes, Victorious, Song, Music,Live.
- 9. Primary Research/Interview What is it about music you like the best? With music there is a lot of different things that I like about it. For example depending on what kind of music it is I feel like you are able to really connect with it and understand the lyrics but then you have the kind of music where all you want to do is dance and sing along, enjoy yourself. So I think I like the fact that you do have your different kinds of music which can help also depending on your mood as if your happy your able to connect with that kind of music more rather then if you was sad that music isn’t something you would be able to connect with. So I think I like the connection that music can bring as you are also able to meet new people through music. What about Pop punk music do you like the best? I feel like pop punk is the same as even in this genre you can have a massive range of music that is produced in this genre you will find that a lot of the lyrics are more meaningful and you can tell that they have really thought about the lyrics sometimes. So I feel like with the lyrics your really able to connect with the band and understand some of the things they may have been through sometimes. As in my opinion you will find that they will have one album where it is from their past experiences when growing up but then you do have their albums that are more fun and you are able to dance to them as well sometimes. But I feel like with pop punk they do have much more of a massive range of the songs which can help with what emotion you are feeling. What some of your favourite pop punk artists and why? I have a few different ones that I like as I feel like this genre you have a lot of different artists to choose from but I think one of my favourite has to be Panic At The Disco as I feel like that they are a band that is very down to earth and not too bothered about what is said about them not that you will find much negative press to do with the band. You will also find that they are a band that you are able to relate with easily especially lead singer Brendon Urie I also feel that their music is a lot different to other bands as well. As their music is a massive mixture.
