The Beastie Boys have cited Bad Religion as one of their main inspirations as a band, and Daniel Wu (who did the Facebook intro for LLL) has been a 'Friend of Giant Robot' since before he started his HK film career. Speaking as a former Giant Robot fan, the band name (look up the film, it's great), their sound (first-class), and all this publicity make total sense now. Good on them for doing all of this, but I personally wish they might've turned it into a little more of a teaching session, i.e., talking to their classmate instead of just writing a song slamming him without any further context.

@@Bocbo It’s not a ripoff, if you’re simply writing and performing a song within a certain genre. That’s why they are called genres. It doesn’t matter how old that genre is...that’s irrelevant. Classical music has been around for centuries - way longer than punk rock. Similarly, people still compose Classical music till this day. You consider that a rip-off? It is a rip-off if you copy a song that was already written. Music often has unique traits that identify it within certain genres or characteristics that cross multiple genres (coming from my music theory knowledge). It’s very seldom and rare when a totally new genre is created that didn’t exist before. Plus, I wouldn’t have that expectation from a young band consisting of young teens, and the youngest being only 10.

They are influenced & inspired by punk music from hearing it from family members & from going to all-ages punk rock benefit shows. I don't think they care at all about being punk or if anyone thinks that they are. It just happens to be one of many kinds of music they listen to. So what if 2 of them has a dad that's a music producer. Good for them that they have a cool dad to teach them about music & help them. They really don't deserve all the criticism & negative comments from the haters & the so called "real punks". Music should not be about genre rules & fitting in to other people's definitions.

The Blue Hearts finally got named on US TV, 30 years later! Check em out! They’re awesome!

[@joshuabrandoncox]

The irony of this being on Jimmy Kimmel is probably the best part. Keep it up Linda Lindas!

An industry insider dad that groomed a couple of em since birth. Singing about the petvissue of the day. Sponsored by Fender... Irony? Product.

[@BruceHurley]

@@Bocbo I guess you're upset that they're not REAL punk. That debate's been raging since the 70's. These are little girls breathing new life into a fading genre. Who cares about their pedigree? Just enjoy it like the rest of us!

[@Bocbo]

@@BruceHurley They are industry plants. No different than any boy band. Whats to enjoy about a 50 year old genre with safe lyrics riffing on the popular issue of the current year? Lame lame lame.

[@BruceHurley]

@@Bocbo Read the comments. You are the ONLY one complaining. You posted half a dozen negative comments on a video featuring kids making music. What are you compensating for? I'm guessing you're a frustrated artist who never made it. Why else would the sight of kids performing on TV be so triggering for you?

[@wctoronto]

@@Bocbo If they were your family members, I wonder if you would express the same sentiment to them and/or their parents? 🤔

[@quincyslote8058]

This is so awesome, I have no words. This why we need libraries, who knows if the world would know about The Linda Lindas if they couldn't play at the library.

[@solitarydreamer]

THEY ARE SUPER AWESOME. I grew up with bikini kills, babes in toyland, L7... the rebel girl era and they totally represent! Especially when i think there are no hope in current talents who are so fake..... this is RAW and REAL.

[@thejamandberries1252]

Awww well done ladies ☺️👍🏾✌🏾

[@brendan9868]

Really talented for how old they are, gonna be interesting to see how their music careers progress from here. Going from forming a band to performing on nightly shows and stuff in just like a year or 2 is a pretty rapid jump. Especially for a band ranging like 10-16 years old. Hopefully they keep having a good time with it and just keep making whatever music they feel like.

[@fuckedupinthehousereadingb125]

We need more of this musician ( love from Sudan )

[@jorgynes6443]

I love the one on the left in the reds singing. So reminds me of the 90s

Amazing that Jimmy had this group on, good for him

[@jillpeterson8196]

PURE PUNK!!! I just adore them!

[@Rayzersword]

Getting some serious 80s hardcore vibes from this band. XD à la Suicidal Tendencies. Amazing to see that type of music still kicking.

[@farshimelt]

It never went away. Young people have always played, hard, fast and loud. It was happening in 1945, in 1953, in 1963, in the 70's, 80's, etc. In the 40's & 50's there were no commercial outlets for the music so it was played in garages, houses, after school band rooms, anywhere the musicians could find a place to play.

[@jademusic1211]

It's so refreshing to see an all-girl punk band!😍😍 Being that all-female rock bands are sorely underrepresented in music, I hope that the industry doesn't eventually try to change their style (like what happened to The Go-Go's. 😥). We need more women and girls in the rock and punk genres to let them know that they can do it as good as their male counterparts. Keep rocking, girls!😍❤️❤️

[@artguy3604]

Punk is alive

[@neilonaniet]

Eloise's outfit is fire!

[@TheWriterNW]

They are awesome! I heard they got a record contract. Well deserved. As soon as their album comes out I'm going to buy it to support them!

[@arxmechanica]

These girls ROCK!

[@totallynotjos_]

They were so nervous I can hear it in there voice. But still a great band!

[@mikeyatkins8583]

I've already seen these young ladies perform this song and they definitely rock hopefully they'll be able to make a tour here on the West Coast I would definitely make it to one of those shows if they are in the Bay Area MAGA Make Adolescents Great Again

[@markfyt1]

Eloise’s performance of RSB at the LAPL was absolutely spellbinding! Must’ve viewed it ten times. Reminded me of the first time I heard The Ramones as a kid. Here on Kimmel, the band got all dolled up on a sterile stage in front of a cheesy mural…OF COURSE it wasn’t going to be the same. Hollywood. Ugh. Nevertheless, Claudia Kishi DID come through. There is absolutely no question that Lucia De La Garza is a phenomenal songwriting talent. “Never Say Never” was the true gem of the LAPL showcase. Would’ve loved to have heard it here as an encore

[@vickylikesthis]

++++ agree with all above.

[@nickcarroll5034]

What the hell?! Are we watching the same video? oh man

[@doloresmikula3861]

I love everything about them... including the fact that they are clearly having fun with this amazing moment in their lives! You will go far!
