Questioning government suggestions is no longer "punk"

So which part of this is punk, exactly? The part where they obey all government suggestions, or the part where Pete Parada takes his doctor's suggestions?

The kids sure aren't alright.

Yesterday's punks, hippies, and freaks are in charge now, and they are far less tolerant than their conservative Christian predecessors.

Thank you, OP. Exactly.

Maybe those conservative parents in all of their music videos had a good point all along?

Punk was always about freedom, freedom for everybody, to be themselves.

What has happened is the establishment left has gerrymandered a lot of the talking points that used to be the general rhetoric of the punk scene.

And that pretty much destroyed the last remnant of punk.

Which was already hobbled by much success and mainstream limelight, thanks to, among others, the Offspring.

It is fitting. Hope they all had side effects. Hope they look in the mirror and see the sellouts they are.

And congrats to the drummer. Too bad he had to whine about his health history and whatnot. He should have just said, fuck no I'm not taking it, I'm punk rock. Damn the man! I do what I want. That's what he should have said.

Right? The state of punk in 2021:

"You followed your doctors orders over the government's soft mandate? Sorry man, that's just not us."

Yeah well it was probably the label that fired him. That would be my guess. The label can just come in and install another drummer that did get vaxed. Then the label can trot the band out at vaxed-only shows.

Another angle on this thing is the lead singer has a pHd in like biochemistry or something. You'd think if anybody would sing the truth about the mRNA jabs, it would be him. Turns out he's just another corporate whore.

On the state of punk, it depends what you call punk. Offspring was punk for a while. Not sure what it is anymore. It was one thing to be a middle class suburban teen throwing bows in the mosh pit. It is another to be a middle aged, middle class suburban dad trying to make punk music. Not saying it can't be done. But it begs that age old question of what exactly is punk? Again, I think it was always about freedom, for everybody, freedom no matter what.

OP is busy throwing wooden shoes at something

Ok, leaf. Your $35 strip of bacon is getting cold. Run along now.

Today's "punk" are more like prison punks

Wow. So no "excuses" allowed eh?

Another Brick in the Wall...

"Question Authority" is only allowed when its the left asking the questions.

Just about all of the bands that were ‘rebellious’ back in the day are now 100% NWO Establishment shills… it’s quite the phenomena.

I like the chord progressions.

They can keep the doublespeak society "progressions".

funny how that works...sold their souls...literally

Shiite 90s bands like the offspring were just toxic mimics of real punk that was over by the early 80s.

No-one wants to tour with someone who could catch Covid at any point of the tour and get hospitalized. Trying to find a replacement is a hassle and they might even have to stop the tour.

It's a sensible business decision.

There won't be any offspring except for those left unvaccinated by the poison jab so there is poetic justice at least and I think that is pretty punk.

Yep.


This guy spells it clearly and thoroughly, although it's in a 5 hour video (hard to stop watching).

Sadly most people won't watch it to understand what's going on and why.





Break it into 15-20 minute segments if you have to, but I HIGHLY suggest watching it if you want to know what's happening and why.

lol

Vaccine Nazis are gonna Nazi.

"Take the injection or you don't eat, don't work, don't vote, don't....

Live."

Anyone who supports this is evil and an enemy to free people.

Dumbest fucking band of the 90's fuck em washed up cucks

The fact that you had to say that while using mainstream news websites means that it is in fact, very punk

smells like corporate rock

The Offspring?
Who sang “Hey Now youre an all-star”.
They’re about as punk as The Counting Crows.
Mainstream bubblegum pop.

screw punk right wing metal way to go

punk and all other degenerate rot was just to give a provisional freedom, a destructive poison to the traditional worldview, so that even heavier, subtle enslavement can be achieved. they had to fracture what everyone was as a unit. prior to this type of shit, and in some parts of the world still, from 8 to 80, they enjoyed entertainment in common, same music, same everything. modern culture deliberately fractured all this so that families hate each other. kids had walkman to go tune out and be programmed with music about hate and angst. its diabolical when you really think about it.

No dude you're thinking of Smashmouth, who, btw, played at that biker rally up North that freaked out the libtards.
