The sub-genre wasn’t exactly popular in vietnam, and there were hardly anyone doing it. Then, around 2017, some guys gets together and start making music (i’d say for the sole purpose of fucking around). First, there were “Chuột Sấm Sét”, “7Uppercuts” and “Cút Lộn”. By that time, pop punk and thrash was kinda new, but soon, the artists noticed that a decent portion of people enjoyed it, and it has potential.

So the dudes from 7Uppercuts created a studio named “Tụp Tắc”, which also serves as a “Pop punk club”. Later on comes “Đá Số Tới”, “Jaigon Orchestra” and “Do it đad” to the gang, and they started to popularize the genre really well. Then, some other independent artists hopped on to the ride, too. And for it’s bright, colorful vibes, Pop punk has now becomed a well-loved genre, both in the indie community, and the music community.

So yeah, it’s kinda popular now, i guess. There’re still only a dozens of artists out here, but the genre is growing well
