Since this news broke I've been seeing references to Offspring being "punk" and I'm just confused. I'm not a big music guy - obviously I've heard of them, I even know a couple of their songs, but I legit never thought anyone considered them punk.

I sometimes listen to boring, normie tier radio when I drive, and I heard "Why Don’t You Get a Job?" today, on possibly the most milquetoast radio station in the area that isn't aimed at complete geriatrics. In central Europe. That's not punk, that station doesn't play punk, the people who listen to this station don't want to hear punk. Offspring isn't punk, it's inoffensive pop. Rock-Pop, maybe? Pop-Rock? Again, I'm not a music guy, but this absolutely fails to check out.

Jesus Christ I hate the music industry. One of these days I'm going to find the last writable CD on the planet, burn a bunch of MP3s of Mongolian throat singing and Georgian hymns to it, assuming the ancient burner drive I haven't used in a decade still even works, and I'll stuff it into my car's head unit and never listen to the radio again.
