Anarcho-punk took the more direct opposition to what punk music was supposed to represent, by actively attacking it, culture jamming, and going forward with brutal honesty pertaining to the sociopolitical nature of music, punk, the industry, etc.

Pop punk forming as a genre was much of the opposite. It kind of embraced the commercial, corporate catchy side of punk, and over time, its image of being controversial and subversive was entirely erased, and now the world is just now expunging the poison Vans Warped Tour has injected in the ears of Gen Xers and Millennials. Nothing wrong with the style itself, but the way it inhabits the industry.
