Lastest pop punk bands

Are 5 Seconds of Summer considered a pop punk band?
'Aesthetically and sonically inspired by the pop punk of the early 00s – from the juvenile, Jackass rebellion of Blink 182, to Good Charlotte's slick sounding anti-everything anthems, and Busted and McFly's cartoon goofiness – 5SOS's intention is to entertain, not inform.' 
5 Seconds of Summer are considered a boyband mainly because they have toured with one direction not because of their music genre. 
5sos are also could be said that they are a pop punk band because of their musical influences
