I mean it’s a dead giveaway at the first bullet, but I totally get the knee jerk reaction because there were people who said Green day had “lost their way”.
That said, always thought Green Day was everything wrong with punk because of how pop they were when they first started. To me they’re still pretty pop. They’re like the hot topic of punk.

This is a laundry list of things that are just very obviously the opposite of punk, though. It’s like if you asked someone to define “anti-punk,” they’d rattle of something very similar to this.

This is Media Literacy 101, stuff.

Yeah but this one was still super obvious. At least if you read the whole thing.
I mean I’ve heard more idiotic shit said sincerely.
Reminds me of those trump rallyists dancing to rage against the machine.
