The Distillers and Pennywise seem to have been missed, more punky than poppy but that's not a bad thing

How any time sigs do Weezer manage to nudge in to their challenging edgy tunes then?
If you want Math stuff check out Sweep the leg Johnny or faraquet.

I thought Math Rock was just a label like geek rock, which i guess is more apt for Weezer. I will definitely check those bands you mentioned out though.

No worries mate, it's a geeky minefield out there.
Math rock as a term comes from the nerdy time sigs used and the consequent jerky polyrythmic music that ensues. It mainly came out of the Chicago free jazz infl post harcore bands but you can see ellements of it in Firehose and the minutemen as well as parts of Sonic Youth, Buthole Surfers and 'June of 44'.

+1 for Pennywise. You could try Ten Foot Pole and Propaghandi too.

I was about to ask WTF is "math rock" but someone got there before me. How silly some of these labels are
but don't get me started on "goth"
Marilyn Manson is not goth no matter how you dress him up...

quite agree old bean, anything after the late 80's had turned into a long haired pastiche with "fields of the nephilim" on the back of it's jacket and a uniform. At which point true goth had died and become just another label for the lazy gits to slap on any band that wore a bit of black and had some eyeliner

how about "less than jake" and if you like abit of random trumpet action "Reel big fish" have some brilliant feel good songs which can also make you laugh.

just illustrating that "punk" can be many different types of band, depending on your age/subculture at the time. To me stuff like the buzzcocks or the ramones was not punk in the slightest, and "pop-punk" is again a strange old label that'll mean many different things to many different folks.
