Punk originated in the mid-1970's as a offensive, guerilla take-over opposed to mainstream music charted by the number or sales. Rock ensambles like Sex Pistols, the Offspring, and Rancid helped bring punk music back in the mid-1990's. This time the weave of lively, simple rock music with sweet-sounding pop melodies hang around on radio and MTV. Today, soi-disant pop punk is a key element in the sphere of chart music.
