pop punk copy cats

I perfectly understand the need for bands to gain influence from somewhere, but is there any need to put on a fake American accent really? For decades in music bands have ridden on the back of other bands to get to the top by copying there style, look and material. Key examples of this would be primal scream and a whole host of Britpop bands ripping off their 60’s heroes; but is there really any need to continue the trend of generations before? Although the term pop punk has loosely existed since the early 70’s it wasn’t until the 90’s when bands such as blink 182 and the offspring achieved worldwide appraise for their music as the term pop punk as we know it today, taking attributes from their predecessors such as the Ramones and the jam, but clearly defining their own sound using let’s be honest whiney teenage voices.

But now I just don’t understand why band from Wales, England, Sweden and all over the world adopt only these early nineties bands sounds but also there persona making 100’s of exact clones, and people just seem to be lapping them up, with their stupid fake American accents.

Get your own scene instead of being in one that’s far to over saturated as it is.
