Page "Punk rock" Paragraph 2

By the beginning of the 1980s, faster, more aggressive styles such as hardcore and Oi!

had become the predominant mode of punk rock.

Musicians identifying with or inspired by punk also pursued a broad range of other variations, giving rise to post-punk and the alternative rock movement.

By the turn of the century, pop punk had been adopted by the mainstream, as bands such as Green Day and The Offspring brought the genre widespread popularity.
