Characteristics

History
Predecessors Neon pop is greatly influenced by punk and pop punk bands. Bands ranging from Blink 182,  New Found Glory  and  Simple Plan  are those that set the blueprints of pop punk and eventually lead to bands branching off into neon pop. All Time Low were one of the bands with the boldest statement, when they emerged with their big hooks and even bigger harmonies. All Time Low helped pave the way with the debut with Hopeless Records, releasing their EP Put Up Or Shut Up. Many bands soon followed in their footsteps such as Cute Is What We Aim For  and  The Maine. It wasn't just the music that made neon pop, but the arrival of color into the dark scene of punk music. Glamous Kills made its mark in this music scene as bands began to wear the brand's clothing and even collaborate with Glamour Kills in creating new clothing lines. The vibrant colors from the clothes musicians began wearing shifted the scene of what was once Emo Pop Punk  to this new concept of neon pop punk.
