I can’t believe that I scrolled the whole thread and didn’t find Operation Ivy.
Aren’t they ska?
Ska punk is splitting hairs for sure. Legit saw someone with the specials on their list lol
I kept Mustard Plug off my list because Ska.
Well, they had one albums worth of songs then one member quit. Then other members just added Lars Fredrickson and became Rancid. Like, I love op-iv but rancid scratches that itch and people prob want some more diversity in their list.
Offspring.

I cede to all accusations of being biased towards folk punk
The inclusion of Chumbawumba is scrambling my brain. Explain please.
Most people only know them from that one single that got popular back in the day. They’ve never been a pop band though. They’re actually an anarchist art collective that’s been around since the early '80s. The podcast Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff did two episodes on them. It’s worth a listen. They’re much cooler than you think they are.
Woah, crazy. So I should start listening to their other stuff besides that one song?
Definitely
Th@nk you for this kind mind explosion on a Friday.
No problem. They’re one of those bands whose sound changes a lot over their career, and you wouldn’t necessarily infer their beginnings from their later stuff, but if you go back and listen to their early albums like Ballots, or Pictures of Starving Children Sell Records, their punk cred is a lot more obvious.
love Defiance, Ohio
No pat, wingnut dishwashers, or johnny hobo. Turn in your crustpants!

Thank you. I’m in a very anti-fascist mood and this is what I need.

ITT: A whole hell of a lot of people not knowing what punk is.
I was like this. It is the worst thing about the music scenes. I try not to be like this anymore.
Yeah, everyone knows that Bad Religion is a prog rock band
