I usually kick label cans around but if I MUST categorize. They are punk actually, "lets go to the punk rawk show".

I would call them immature....but such is the case with all pop punk bands. Its a shame the term punk is smeared by such bands.

MxPx...well their earlier stuff is a lot more punk than their newer stuff would would be catagorized under "pop punk." (Happy punk, as I prefer to call it.) If you want to try them out, I seriously would check out their earlier songs. They're a lot better in my opinion.

what do you mean by immature?

Well...in my thoughts...their songs aren't very serious. They're more for amusement... Their lyrics aren't very serious, or thought provoking or anything... They're just a fun band, that's not too deep or whatever.

Um...not quite. They have a different sound than Relient K. They've got a slightly "harder" sound than Relient K, especially with their older stuff, which is more along the lines of punk...whereas Relient K has always been pop punk.

As for their lyrics...they're differen too. Hm...Relient K is more like...either quite religious, or just downright goofy...but never really about relationships.

MxPx does deal with relationships but more in a silly way. It's hard to explain. Someone else might be able to lay it out for you better. Still...I'd say check out their older stuff...'tis much better.
