The offspring was never punk. They dont play punk on the top 40 stations. They were a "punky" boy band....see rancid, green day, etc....
Punk is "the Exploited" GBH, Misfits, DRI, Agnostic Front, Ramones, etc

Re: Questioning government suggestions is no longer "punk"
How did all these freedom loving rebels turn into a bunch of fucking authoritarians?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80113273


They were always authoritarians; they just didn't have any authority yet.
 Quoting: Revbo™


Case in point:

Green Day, 21 years ago

I want to be the minority
I don't need your authority
Down with the moral majority
'Cause I want to be the minority

Stepped out of the line
Like a sheep runs from the herd
Marching out of time
To my own beat now the only way I know

-Green Day, Minority



Green Day, 2 weeks ago:

Green Day announces surprise concert in Tulsa for people vaccinated against COVID-19

 Quoting: Revbo™


Green day is pop, not punk.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 67904014


I know, but they played the counterculture role.

That's funny. Yeah they weren't punk enough. They were sellouts.
I remember those days.
Only Crass is punk enough!

Nah, Green Day et al., they were mainstream punk rock. Sorry but its true. Green Day got its start on Lookout and Fat Wreckchords. Offspring was a solid punk band before it got big. Rancid, same, solid straight up punk rock, then they broke out.
And then there was the endless discussions by the priests of punk about who is punk and who isn't.
But now we see the reason.
Once it became mainstream, it lost its soul.
But the real death of punk was not Green Day, it was the handheld device and social media.

Offspring drummer Pete Parada has been fired by the “punk” band Offspring for refusing to get a COVID-19 vaccine.

Parada had been in the band for over fourteen years and is following the advice of his doctor who said that he should not get it due to his pre-existing conditions.

I’ve got some unfortunate and difficult news to share. I know many of my close friends and family would’ve preferred to hear this privately first – and I apologize for the public nature of my disclosure, but I don’t know how to have this conversation multiple times. 1/17

— Pete Parada (@PeteParada) August 2, 2021

“Given my personal medical history and the side-effect profile of these jabs, my doctor has advised me not to get a shot at this time,” Parada wrote in a Twitter thread about his firing.

These people were never punk, they were always frauds. You know that six foot tall dude in leather with a mohawk that adds another two feet? The guy walking around with chains wrapped around both fists and wearing combat boots he calls stompy and thumpy? That's a punk. These upper middle class late eighties/early ninties pussies with their bleach blonde hair, are not.

Say what? Fashion punks are the only real punks? Really?
Left coast amphetamine punk of the late 1980s, early 1990s drew its base from skaters and surfers, who formed a counterculture, and ultimately became a competitive genre requiring some degree of talent. (That was before skating and surfing became olympic sports.)
What made a band punk was, yeah, the tempo, but also its message.
Which usually was a message of freedom.
So those bands had their day and age, their place.
What this development shows is the power of the label. It is the label that pays and the label that dictates.

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.
 Quoting: Depluribus Unum


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


Yeah, well my punk ass was considered pretty liberal in the 80's and 90's and even into the 2000's - but I'm definitely right of center now. I still cannot believe I am considered "conservative" - I sure don't act it or look it -

Why don't these punks just lie? All the punks I used to know tried to lie their way into shows with fake id, buy drinks, smokes, promise mom and dad you did your homework while you secretly played with your sex pistol tapes.

Just tell them you got the Johnson in Johnson while playing with the sex pistols and stay employeed ftw.

I think I got vaxed after buying my first alien workshop skateboard. It was a dream and I got probed. Most colleges teach the dream world is more real anyway

Offspring haven’t been a punk band since their second album. But I do agree with you….the punk scene has become pro government since the mid 90’s. I’ve been in the punk scene since the late 80’s and still play in a punk band. It’s absolutely heart breaking seeing all the sellouts these days.
