Isnt that what all bands actually want? fame? fortune? so basicly your saying, anything more successful than the band on your local rock station is pop? what about when that band on your local rock station outgrows it and gets to that point? its pop once its to that point?
fuck you all,

OK, wait.
Pop is a genre of music. Pop is not some kind of like fungal growth that happens from coming in contact with MTV. Pop punk is a sort of bastardization of punk guitar chords mixed with a lighter overall tone, ala NFG. Green Day, from what I can surmise from listening to them as of late, are pop-punk. Even before this, when they were still on MTV, I would probably call them alt, definately not full-on punk though.
Also, your point on Modest Mouse is stupid in general. My issue with MTV now airing stuff from Franz Ferdinand, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Modest Mouse is that they seem to be taking a few semi-known post-punk mod rock properties and wave them around as their "cool kid" property. They called MM "newcomers" despite them being around and making records for 14 years. So my problem is with MTV breaking its normal genre borders, adopting semi-obscure music as its own, then not even giving a shit as to where these bands came from as long as it changes public opinion for the network. I still love MM, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Franz Ferdinand, the problem I have is inherantly with MTV's conduct with them as properties.
