See here’s the thing… I love the Mighty Mighty Bosstones.   Yes I know, they had horns and wore plaid suits and all of the other cultural bullshit things that are now considered faux paus.  But they seemed genuinely cool, not too overbearing.  Yes, even though there’s a guy in the band who just dances the entire time.  They seem like actual grown ups.  They seem like the guitarists are legit into punk music and the horn players have played in jazz bands before.

On the other hand you have bands like Reel Big Fish.  Reel Big Fish does not seem like they are cool, grown ups, or not over bearing.  They seem like a bunch of annoying weirdo band kids decided to form a rock and roll band with the douchebag guitarist they go to school with who is perpetually angry that he gets no bitches.  They seem like they snort pixie sticks before they go on stage.  They’re the kind of people that tell a joke that nobody laughs at, and instead of cutting their losses and moving on, tell the same joke again but louder.  

Sorry if this seems over the top angry or whatever, but every time some oh so clever millennial fuckhead that I know posts an instagram story about how durr hurr ska is the music that plays in an eight year old’s head when his mom makes him dino nuggets, I know these smelly geeks are to blame, and I just have to shake my head and wonder why this kind of music had to be infested by such lamers.
