 Post-grunge morphed during the late 1990s and early 2000s as bands like Creed, Nickelback, Shinedown, Seether, 3 Doors Down, and Puddle of Mudd emerged.They abandoned most of the angst and anger of the original post-grunge movement for more conventional anthems, narratives, and romantic songs, with considerable commercial success.The origins of 1990s pop punk can be seen in the more song-oriented bands of the 1970s punk movement like Buzzcocks and the Clash, commercially successful new wave acts such as the Jam and the Undertones, and the more hardcore-influenced elements of alternative rock in the 1980s.
