    First show I ever went to was the Descendents. After hearing 'I Don't Want To Grow Up' I just had to see them not even knowing anything about 'the scene'. It's all their fault really.

    This is not the way to do a Descendents documentary. All the shitty memes and influencers cut into the mix. 😟 Good info though. But it gets lost amongst the cuts to different shit every 5 seconds.

    21:15 you realize he got his life saved twice in a year. In the NHS, he'd have died waiting or been offered assisted suicide lmao. I don't even like our healthcare system but I'm not hearing it from across the pond

    I was a Thrash head in my teens and twenties, but when i became BAP in my early 40s I cycled through a few bands before I remembered the Descendents from my youth. I LOVED I’m the One back then, and was a big Bad Religion fan too. Stranger Than Fiction was a tape that I literally played until it wore out…twice. The first time I heard Thank You, I officially named them as my favorite band ever.

    There were plenty of other bands in the HC scene at the same time (especially OC) with pop leanings . Don’t consider them Pop Punk, just less agro HC.

    that's not pop punk, you ignorant idiot fucking fuck. no one even used the term til very late 90s when punk bands like blink 182 were actually… what's the word? pop! ffs ramones were poppier than this guys. there's this new breed of people spreading wrong takes, it's very annoying, they're even giving the "pop" tag to fat wc bands that came from metal and hardly ever use choruses. it's all so stupid.

    My mom grew up around the same area as Milo at the same time, and one time i pointed out to her a descendents bumper sticker and explained it was a caricature of Milo Aukerman, and she got really surprised and told me they were neighbors as kids and him and his brothers would come over into her yard and play when they were like 5 or 7 or something lol. very surreal thing to hear

    Like any other pretentious, British ass all Ramones, Iggy Pop and CBeebies was doing the punk thing along before the scumbag boutique owner used John Lydon and the junkie you ass hats know as Sid vicious to commercialize the nyc fashion in the uk which is 100% the antithesis of what actual punk is honk in America was born out of necessity when it comes in the fashion one citizen came over seeing what was happening and changed his whole boutique and started the band the sex pistols because of what he seen in America your trends did not bleed over the pond, robbed and commercialized The look of our lowest class

    To dress punk is the least punk thing someone can do, I once went to a gig in an anarchist squat in a bespoke 3 piece suit, so I've always respected Descendants for not being cookie cutout "punks".

    What about Buzzcocks? Cmon!

    Edit: since I posted that in the first 5 secs of the video I missed the bit about the Descendents instant coffee mix. I had a friend who was in the army who described something similar they made out of their MRI instant coffee called “ranger paste” ha ha.

    This video is terrible. Descendants are nerds. Pop punk appealed to casual fans and for radio friendly music. Decedents is not pop punk. Blink 182 was the first band to be pop punk

    No blink 182 made pop punk amidst everyone before never coined it it's all just skate punk which is a precursor didn't mean they made the recipe for pop punk they helped make it but didn't blend it!! It's like food give me stuff and I can make up something with it. Decendents had the ingredients but blink 182 did something different with it. No one ever heard something more up beat and high temple like blink in 1999. After that that when everyone else strated making pop punk other bands were ska punk or skate at this point and changed by 1999 after enema of state record companions had bands make singles that were pop punk like lit – my own worst enemy, Sum 41 – in to deep. Zebra head started making pop punk too around 2000
