  1. Saves the Day early stuff and their self titled are really good.  And randomly Rivers Cuomo - Alone album.  Been jamming out to both these and then Say Anything Hebrews and Is a boy, but can only handle so much of them.

     

    What on earth is up with their trajectory? Like I respect experimenting but it feels so much worse than that, just like really bad stuff from his basement/laptop ever since Is A Real Boy, sans Two Tongues.  Like he can’t do the same thing twice I guess? Max Bemus is a strange cookie

    How in the earth???????????????????

    FFS.

    Honestly, it feels like five.  Because I remember that whole timeline and what I was doing and where when listening to it. There’s no way it was 10.  Shits crazy.

    You do realize the Offspring broke before Johnny Knoxville, right? If anything, he would be the one biting them. Debating you is like debating a child whose brain hasn’t fully developed yet. And they still look a million times better than any outfit MGK wears. 

    If Offspring didn't have Smash they would be the worst band to ever come out of California and that's not exaggerating.

    It only worked for chumps who don’t know ball and don’t care about authenticity. Imagine trying to diss a legendary punk rock band under the same breath as defending MGK. Absolutely pathetic stuff here, Jan.

    Temu Pop Punk.

  5. It was beautiful Diddy.  I'm not going to keep defending it to someone who clearly hates everything about it.  It was a perfect time & place.  Pure luck if you want to call it.  Because I hate all that generic copy & paste shit floating around everywhere.  But it worked at the time.  It was right during Covid want to say?  It was well done.  A proper homage to the genre, that was failing and dying out, and just had the right tone for a homage.  MGK of all people, he was just the poster boy for it, industry plant, w.e, I don't care, his vocals suck, but the songs were great and a well crafted album start to finish.  Especially with blink sucking at the time, it felt like a proper love letter/homage, plus we know he actually grew up during those times, so it felt like a fan piece.  I dug it.  Way better than the Paradox shit, sorry.  The only thing better, is an actual breathing entity still, who were younger when blink was big, The Story So Far, and probably One More Time (although heavily flawed).  Everything else has been shit, I don't like Turnstile.  I'd rather listen to random indie music since pop punk is clearly dated af.  Sans the two things I mentioned.  I thought Saviors was good, but I don't really consider that Pop Punk.

    Oh and Offspring still sucks, forever and always.

    Aka you can’t discuss the facts. You only have your whack ass opinion to give. Nobody cares bro. Tickets to My Downfall is cheeks, and MGK was barely involved in creating it. FACTS

    That's the best part!

    Facts aren’t bait, jackass. You are delusional. Enjoy living in your fantasy land of make believe where MGK made a legitimate and good pop/punk record. It was merely cosplay written, performed, and produced by other people. 

    All I know, is you don't know nothing.

    Literally every single criticism Jan has for Paradox can, and should be, applied to MGK. And yes that includes Tickets to My Downfall. Literally just sounds like someone asked AI for blink or MCR or whatever trendy emo/pop punk band you want to name. Dude had 20+ songwriters and barely played guitar on the album despite acting otherwise with all his guitar photo shoots and pink aesthetic. He was clearly pushed by the industry, it’s so lame now.  Shit is so fucking corny, and the music is atrocious. Keep coping, Jan!

    Bait rejected.

    I sound like a hater tho which im not being lol. Jan had accused me of being a paradox fan a couple weeks ago in a text…which I don’t know where he would ever get that impression, it’s like he doesn’t even know me 😢 he is the real Paradox hater though 

    anyways, even if you’re 80 years old and poppy generic pop punk is your Jam, carry on and enjoy!

    That’s okay, I’m a hater.  I have a 30+ year old friend that sends me clips of them weekly because he knows I was the big blink fan and it bothers me it’s all just generic Travis factory shit.  More power to them, I’d do it too if it was working or w.e, but since when is that the bar for liking music?  I hated Turnstile when they came out and this is like if turnstile had a Gen Z baby.  Fuck em.  It’s 2026, come up with something new or do it magically in a straight forward homage, like Tickets to my downfall, which is why it gets a pass.  It wasn’t cosplaying some nostalgia bait, it was a pure homage to a time MGK actually experienced, which is why he gets a hall pass Faplord.

    His music since has sucked though, so don’t get me wrong.  It was a time and a place.

    Just come up with something new.  Sipping on a Bender or w.e that song is sucks. Sorry not sorry #hater alert. It’s only a marginal step above ‘AI, create a pop punk song like blink 182’

    One of @Jan Mortensen’s favorite bands

    My problem with Paradox is everyone’s convinced themselves for some reason ‘this is not really that bad.’  When it is, it’s no different than any other of these knock offs I couldn’t tell you if it’s AI music or another Travis Factory band (sans MGK’s tickets to my downfall masterclass gets a hall pass).  How about some originality?
