It's funny to me...I didn't say they were bad, I didn't say I didn't like them, I didn't say anything except for that they clearly took their music in a more in your face, political direction. That's fine, I support them making that choice. I get that punk is inherently political, and that most music has hints of it. When I started listening, when 1039 came out - I was too young to understand what the music was about. Then came kerplunk and dookie. Dookie has many songs that are just about boredom, wasting time, or girls. Same thing for Insomniac and Nimrod. You cannot argue that EVERY song on those albums was political, it's just not true. They became a pop-punk alternative band. That's great, they still make great music, I just choose other styles and genres. Downvotes aren't hurting me, but it seems excessive for sharing my thoughts.
For the record, I was a ride or die fan in the 90's. 5 shows, one of them I waited by the outdoor stage for 3 hours to get a good spot. I had my art featured on the earliest version of their website, back in the AOL days. I still love the music I grew up with. Bands style, peoples preferences change...I just don't want to think about the broken world when I listen to music anymore.
