History

PPDC (a.k.a. “www.poppunk.com“) was started in 1998 by Stephen Neurotic. Stickers were given out at festivals and two compilation CDs were released to promote the website. Neurotic’s version of the website provided visitors with interviews, photos, and mp3s. Development continued until 2005 when Neurotic decided to persue other interests. In 2009, Bradley Adita negotiated with Neurotic to purchase the domain. In 2010, Adita created the bubblecore logo with artist/filmmaker Joshua Graff and the logo was displayed with hosting provided by “nata2.org“. In 2011, Adita teamed up with Johnny Costello to redesign the site. PPDC celebrates 15 years in 2012.
