Speedo is just really ancient and old so it's a bit of an outlier, 90% of this board would be more able to recognize and remember NFG than Descendants. Of course I remember NFG more than a Disney movie I never saw. I remember that time I went to buy Catalyst when it came out. Realized I wanted Cool to Be You instead and it changed my life. Also it was a play on the "name albums" hipster thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm at peace now that the Ramones (terrible, not pop punk) and NOFX (sex offender band) are out. I'd just prefer to see actual pop punk bands that people listen to proceed, but that's just me.

I was a sophomore in high school when the new wave pop punk came out. Ghent and I are literally the same age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghent Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 Covers of the Descendents are better than the actual Descendents in most cases. They are one of those bands. I respect them for their influence, but they are pretty shitty. For example: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This dude chose Myage. I didn't know it, so I listened to it a bunch to make sure I was tight with it to see how well he did. I ended up hating the song, he totally fucked up his own choice, and it was my top Spotify song that year for my trouble. I like Descendents but that song can fuck off forever. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
