r/Sum41

70 percent of their discography is alt metal imo. Are they considered pop punk because their most successful songs r pop punk or is it smth the band themselves like being called. What genre would you call sum 41 and what does the band themselves consider to be?

Sometimes i just listen to sum and wonder why they're even called a pop punk band when 70 percent of their discography is alt metal. But the shredding solos? that's another layer u gotta consider. But how good are tom and dave as guitar players? I know they'll be considered extremely average (but amazing song writers) against players who actually shred, but in the pop punk scene, they have to considered the best right?

I'm 39 but I recently just "discovered" Sum 41 because of the song Still Waiting (I know, give me a break 😂).

I love Sum 41 now, but I can't get over how I've NEVER heard a song like Still Waiting.

Every Google search, AI search, Reddit suggestion, and algorithm playlist hasn't satisfied me with comparable songs. They give the similar genre and era, but never the same feeling.

What song in the world can you suggest to me that would give the same feeling, vibe, and/or sound as Still Waiting?

Thank you!!!

Ok, so I know this is an odd request so please bear with me. Does anyone here happen to have a setlist from the 2024 farewell tour? Preferably from the US spring leg. I’m not asking anyone to give it to me or sell it or anything. If someone has one, would they be willing to photo copy it on 8.5x11 paper? I got a pick from Deryck at one of the stops and would love to frame it with a setlist, even if it is just a copy. Sorry for the odd request!

it's just an idea but I think it be cool to have a new sum41 game I'm creating it with adobe animator

do you think I should do this? or scrap it?
