      I know the period between 2001-2010 was fraught with corporate "punk" bands (Good Charlotte and Sum 41 come to mind) I especially remember Avril Lavigne, who was supposedly "punk," but her debut was basically two "punk" songs surrounded by ballads.

        Blink 182.

        Guh. It was almost all crap. Offspring was a corporate cough "punk" band who actually did a lot of good stuff.

        The band who should have been punk during that period was the Beastie Boys, but they made other plans.

        The band who truly was punk during that period was NoFx.

          I never once saw The Offspring as attempting to be punk. I just saw them as a relatively young band making rock music for people in their teens and younger 20's.

            All the girlies say I'm pretty fly (for a white guy).

            That song should disabuse anyone of the notion that they're corporate, lol. Just because you have success doesn't make you a manufactured "corporate rock" band.

              I love the Offspring. I wasn't knocking them in the least. But they are very smart and deliberate about curating their image.

              Gather round, all. I will explain music to you.

              Soft rock is a corporate scam to make money from kids. Soft rock grabs about 50% of the market.

              The other 50% of the market sees itself as "non-conformist," so the corporations invented hard rock. My friend was working at a book store at UConn one summer and 3 consecutive customers were wearing a button that read "Why Be Normal?" Hard rock grabs 40% of the market.

              The remaining 10% of kids are pis-sed off. If for no other reason than being young is a hormonal roller coaster. They can see hard rock is just as much corporate bullsh-t as soft rock. So the corporations invented corporate punk. Corporate punk is for kids who put X posters in their dorm rooms. They wear Dead Kennedys t-shirts to scare their parents (their parents laugh behind their backs) and their teachers (their teachers never notice them, they are tired from working three jobs). Corporate punk captures 9% of the market.

              The remaining 1% will put a rock through your window. They aren't nice. They'll roll you in an alley. They're punk and you're not and if you have something they want they'll steal it or beat it out of you because you're a well-scrubbed kid with everything and they hate you.

              And that's what punk is, Charlie Brown.

              Note the above hierarchy works with rap for exactly the same reasons.

              I love The Offspring. They are corporate punk.

                Your views on music genres are very narrow and ill-formed.

                  You're still not getting it. My views are not about the music at all. There are great (and terrible) artists in each genre.

                  My views are on the inanity of calling any of those genres more "authentic" than any other. They are all created to sell you sh-t. All music genres are exactly equal commercially.

                  Here is a corporate punk band's song to explain it to you. It is an excellent song which I love.

                    If you want to whine about "corporate rock" bands, go complain about Winger or Whitesnake or some other sugary crap with too many synthesizers.

                          I love the conspiracy theory that Avril got sick of being famous and Cobained herself, so the record company replaced her with a doppelganger and carried on like nothing happened.

                            That was the rumor with Fiona Apple, kinda. I could see it with her.

                            Edit: next on that list is Billie Eilish. Love her stuff, and she's just weird enough to do it.
                            Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                              Lazy summer day. I have about 7 Norah Jones albums I can listen to, so I think I'll do that today.

                              Wonder if there's a stereotype for Norah Jones fans.
