“Pop punk isn’t political” as if blink 182 weren’t chanting the sentiment of the proletariat when they said WORK SUCKS! I KNOW!
Replies
From not being political Blink-184 spent a lot of time bitching about stupid random laws the state imposes. “In my town you can drive naked” ……..”the state looks down on sodomy”

Do people not understand what "punk" means?

Politics is the defining feature of punk. To be fair, Blink is 80% sex, 15% relationship and 5% politics, which is where the "pop punk" tag comes from.

I should like to politely point anyone with the opinion that it isn't at the entirety of The Offspring's "Americana."

I just watched people angrily walk out of a Five Iron Frenzy show tonight bc of politics so I guess people got the same mindset about ska too

FIF existing in both the 90s CCM/Christian alternative scene and the ska scene means they unfortunately have a lot of casuals who still inhabit conservative evangelicalism. Most diehards do not and many of us would give them some credit for our worldview and deconstruction

"I wish FIF wouldn't have gotten political all the sudden" Album 1 track 1: 🎶 West or bust, in God we trust Let's rape, let's kill, let's steal We can almost justify anything we feel 🎶 Definitely not criticizing manifest destiny, native American genocide and Christian nationalism...

Last night I heard Dillinger Four call themselves pop punk on stage so, I guess it's a spectrum.

Pop punk has always been political, as are all art forms. Anyone who says otherwise is both a poser and negligent to how the genre started and the constant themes of disobedience and defyance towards society.

I went to a Blink-182 concert in ~2001 and between songs they were like, "Fuck Jesse Helms! What is he, the governor of South Carolina? Fuck him!" The facts weren't quite there but they had the spirit.

I recently attended a Bad Religion/Dropkick Murphy's concert. They definitely weren't policitical. Nope, not at all. (Sarcasm font)

It has always been political, you’re a dumbass and have completely missed the point if you think it’s never been political

As much as I hate to admit it, even Good Charlotte had some sense of class consciousness in their song Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.

I vaguely remember something about robbing rich people's mansions. Which I thought was funny, but didn't really track because they were probably pretty rich by that point. 😂😂😂
