@idkICantPick best example of how power pop is done

take this early beatles, pick the harmony and melodic tag - boost that s*** up loud and upbeat and there you have the power pop infectious kick:

the roots of power pop is basically taking the hooks and energy of early beatles and turning the volume to 11

see this song for example

you take the whole formula of this and add steroid to it

which started with this

and to this day to this

it started in the 70s as in reaction to the prog rock that was blowing up with its influential leaders such as yes and pink floyd- making 10 songs of experimental noise

power pop was the superhero to that villain to bring back a classic formula of innocence songs where we cut down on guitar stuff (a power song is easily identifiable with no guitar solos) and just boosting all over the hooks, it’s pop choruses - all about the melodies but just made rocking sounding really , short songs and all fun never nothing sad or serious, just hang out beach stuff or to ride along

weezer is often catalogue as power pop with the blue album (due to ric ocasek the songwriter singer of the cars producing them) and altho they pick on it obviously it’s more alt rock - green is definitely far more fitting into the power pop genre

the album colors covers are somehow an iconic imagery of power pop scene too altho weezer didn’t intend it but all this for example:

(big power pop album from the scene of the 70s when it started) making photos on one colors is the heart of what defines power pop genre : the opposition to pretentiousness

this carries not just to weezer but also fountains of wayne with their own homage of both weezer and the power pop scene:

their big hit is a power pop anthem:
