Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong flatly laid out his New Year's resolution on Dec. 31, tweeting, "my mission for 2016? to destroy the phrase 'pop-punk' forever.'

Now, with the Revolution Radio album due in two days, Armstrong is going into more depth. In a not-yet-online interview with U.K. magazine Kerrang! (via NME), the 44-year-old whose band hit the scene in 1990 says:

"I've always hated the phrase 'pop-punk.' I think it's a contradiction in terms. Either you're punk, or you're not. [The tweet] was not directed at any of the band [described this way], it's just that it's too singular a term for my tastes."
