re: Weezer or blink 182

The Descendents are a great comp to Blink, both are even pop punk bands (though the definition of pop punk was a little harsher in the mid-80s). And the Descendents did grow old... maybe not gracefully, but honestly. Their newest album feels like adults with jobs and kids trying to hold on to their ideals, not trying to nostalgically cash in on a time that has long since passed.

The Descendents have even gone back and changed some of the lyrics to some of their older songs when they play them now due to the lyrical content. They are rightly embarrassed by some of the misogyny and while they don't try and pretend it didn't happen, there's no reason to perpetuate it now.
