Thought provoking Reaction To (Punk Rock ) NOFX - Franco Un American

[@jsnel9185]

Leaving Jesusland is my favorite NOFX song. Its scathing, and it is so badass.

[@captaincrespo3327]

I wouldn’t do the decline. That’s what everyone does. I’d check out “eat the meek” for a very different vibe, or “it’s my job to keep punk rock elite”. Nofx is rad

[@Crunchatize_Me_Senpai]

I don’t really like the actual sound, music-wise, of The Decline, but the lyrics are the important thing. Just super-real and not trying to be funny. I love the fact that everyone does it, that means a lot of people are hearing that song and hopefully having their perspectives on life changed, even if it’s just slightly.

[@maurice482390]

Johnny Appleseed is one of my favorites

[@ptmac333]

Ronnie and mags

[@tenadorelee9961]

Obviously "We Called it America"

[@danielpursino2020]

I feel you. But everyone should do it. Such an amazing message and song. :)

[@Zoinks_Da-OG]

Loveeeee NOFX

[@Stoody]

Great points about punk, dude. Been a fan of NOFX since I was in middle school, so i'd love to recommend some old obscure stuff but I think "The Idiots are Taking Over" would be another good one for you.

[@ronjames4151]

Old? Old would be ribbed, s&m airlines and liberal animation. This is new for them

[@the_beat_thief]

I'm an old punk. Hell, I used to drink at the bar in their song 'Seeing Double at the Triple Rock'. It's gone now, but it was a great place to hang out. (They even sold 40's, and brought out a champagne bucket with ice and a 40 for my girlfriend and me one time.) But I also listen to a lot of old hip hop and rap. Minneapolis has a lot of local talent that doesn't get much exposure. If you want to see an amazing man that stands up for rights, check out Brother Ali. He has a masterpiece called "Uncle Sam Goddamn" - which got him put on the NSA watch list because he spoke the truth. And no, this wasn't under Trump - it was under the Obama administration. I guarantee 'Uncle Sam Goddam' will hit you hard. I'd like to see your reaction, and it gives Brother Ali more well deserved exposure. (By the way - it was written over a decade ago and it covers everything that is still going on.)

[@jarrahinthe206]

Love your take on punk. It’s why I go back to it.

[@Usernameunavailableyoubastards]

'You can become more educated from punk rock' - You've nailed it, this is very true, In the last 30-40 years I've learned more about how the world actually works from the likes of Crass, Subhumans and Dead Ken's than my what my teachers tried to teach at school.

[@g-susramos2899]

Suggestions: Separation of church and skate, Anarchy camp, American errorist, I don't like me anymore, and my favourite... Jaw knee!

[@leftofpunk]

Fat Mike fully controls his music from recording to distribution. He's completely self-sufficient so he can get away with saying anything he wants in his songs. As he runs his own labels, he signs bands he likes, and they can say whatever they want and so on and so forth. That's pretty common with a lot of those smaller self-owned punk labels (Epitaph, SideOneDummy, AsianMan etc)

[@BenjaminEatsVeggies]

Dude, just stumbled on you and your punk rock reactions. Havent seen many people do reactions to punk so much. Amongst many other genres I grew up on punk and hip hop. Unsurprisingly so many parallels in those two genres. Lots of respect between both genres too which I think is super cool. Anyway, check out more Bad Religion too. Older stuff though. Propagandhi from Canada are huge on world issues. Check them out. And other random bands would be Descendants, Dag Nasty, Minor Threat, Operation Ivy, Circle Jerks, Husker Du, The Germs, Swingin Utters, Screeching Weasal, Poison Idea, Strung Out, and the list goes on. And there are actually tonnes of bands still doing this type of music. Loads!

[@heathcornbeef]

Kia ora hello from aotearoa New Zealand hay Husker Du are in my opinion one of the greatest bands ever I've been a fan of theirs since the early eighties NEW DAY RISING holds a special place in my brain/heart for a lot of different reasons

[@702Faithful]

I grew up on hardcore from the early 80s and enjoy your analysis on music. Keep up the good work. Some other bands to consider: Toxic Reasons (Break the Bank), Stretch Marks, Reagan Youth, the Big Boys and Battalion of Saints.

[@jasoncar1469]

Nofx... best....punk...band...ever!. You need to do Oxymoronic!... or anything from the Punk in Drublic album.. they have such a huge catalog of great songs. Generation Z, 72 Hookers,Liza and Louis, BOB, Linoleum, She's Nubs, Don't Call me white, murder the government, August 8th... so many ... .... Bob was the first song that got me hooked on them.

[@TheSuperSnake313]

Yes!!!!!! Love me some NoFx, man this takes me back! 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@eatenbyghouls1849]

Another song I'd recommend by them is "the decline" (it's 18 minutes long but a masterpiece honestly) kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5-ph4ChibyUeNk Or if you want a shorter one "fish gun in a barrel" kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIO1gH9plLxoqMk

[@TheAdventuresofTNT]

I think i did this song a long time ago as a patreon request for someone and the file got damaged so I couldn’t upload it. But I was completely blown away and did a thorough breakdown of the song an lyrics. I decided not to redo the reaction since I couldn’t duplicate my initial thoughts.

[@ToXicNBK]

The Idiots Are Taking Over is probably my favorite song by them, it was relevant during Bush when it was written, it's sill relevant since unfortunately

[@trumphatesyou]

Anyone know where I can find this on one of the Late Shows? Not sure which but it was 🔥

[@dinkusmcgee1015]

😮I love this band and i'm going to their final tour . 1990. I was hooked. And let me tell your brother... Go look at an old Axl Rose video. And he wanted to tour with NWA. People thought he was crazy because he was rock and roll. He said the same thing about rap that it Kept him relevant...SO....❤🎉 I guess if you get it you get it

[@skelley3278]

First time seeing you by searching my favorite band + reaction just to see how the rest of the world sees what I hear every day

[@skelley3278]

7 months ago… still a great song by a great band, punk rock live stream this shit T! Crazy how things work out sometimes, love y’all cyall on the other side

[@skelley3278]

Never thought about the problems of this planet at all

[@skelley3278]

One of my favorite songs by my favorite band, nice to see that this led me to the metal meltdown community, discord and all the rest. All the best to T and Mrs T

[@nicp2039]

Fat mike, a god amongst mere mortals. And bringing us more new punk through fat wreck chords

[@CaptFreedumb]

Id love to see someone do a reaction to a new song by them called fish in a gun barrel. Extremely interesting and thought provoking song.

[@lessonsinfailing]

Fat mike (the singer and bassist from NOFX) wrote a musical called "home sweet homeless". It's about an hour and a half long. Give it a watch. It's pretty amazing. Also, check out a band called off with their heads. Their songs are more about internal struggles and having to deal with anxiety, anger, depression, and despair. But, they're amazing songs that most punk rockers can relate to. Keep on doing what you're doing man.

[@misterno-ice-guy8082]

[@moondog8829]

Punk never dies!

[@skelley3278]

I play in a punk rock band, we do what you say, no limits or censure on what we sing about

[@TheDextermat]

When a bunch of artist on drugs and beer makes music that describe so well accurately was and is still happening. Government i futile. NOFX is king!

[@manuele.itriagom.728]

Punk and hip hop have more in common than people realize. But punk rockers don't give a fuck haha, straight up. That's what makes it so amazing.

[@danbinder7103]

Yeah buddy! I can tell by the look on your face you get the Nofx vibe!

[@ev1lsm1th]

Dont do The Decline, do The Idiots are Taking Over, Leaving Jesusland, or USAHoles. They are hard hitting and you wont burn your dinner waiting for the song to finish.

[@Ryattt81]

As a long time NOFX fan, I love the melodic nature of the Decline, but its not even close to their best work. I just kinda think its ok.

[@markoconnor995]

Spot on. Although I love all genre's, punk's freedom of speech while dripping with sarcasm has always had a strong appeal for me. If you like this, should check out The Drop Kick Murphy's, Street Dogs, the Clash and Bouncing Souls. Murphy's and Street Dogs are big supporters of labor. Do a lot of charity work in Boston. Punk musicians also tend to be less egotistical and more approachable than those of other genre's. After I had a long discussion about globalization and labor markets with Mike McColgan of Street Dogs, he wrote a song about it.

[@deadringerfpv6412]

Mxpx covered it 2 years ago and updated the lyrics. I like them both.

[@johncarbahal5414]

I'm pretty sure NOFX coverd MXPX... Just kidding but it was a pretty good version of it. It can't be easy to cover an 18 minute song and do it justice, staying true to yourself/play style while keeping it authentic and true to the original. Like Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt. Stayed true to his style but just as Authentic as The original.

[@gregstivers8959]

"Why go with an am when there's a could" love that lyric

[@matthewayres1104]

Check out MXPX’s updated version of this song from back in like 2019 or so.

[@Matty.moo.89]

Not a huge nofx fan but “the brews” is a banger…Check out some rancid… also and band named operation ivy album energy is one of the greatest punk rock albums of all time, their lead singer Jesse michaels was one of the greatest lyricist in punk and music in general

[@geriatricpunk]

Any NOFX song!!! Something old like Liza and Louise. Cheers!

[@simonrobinson10]

Class tune!

[@Schaw1337]

I love your thought on punk rock, it just seems so right :) I'n Norway, we have a King, but he can't decide nor rule over anything ;)

There's alot of good punk bands that will give you some great reactions

[@plantpants3746]

[@joewhitfield5561]

NOFX FOREVER!😁

Consider this my second like.

[@rifleattheplayground]

If you heard the live version it would take it a whole nother level

[@anderswiik7432]

Just keep the punk up,there's a gazillion songs you'll love ❤️

[@mdog86]

This is why I've always loved nofx. Fat Mike has never been afraid to call out the bullshit this country is doing. I mean hell, go listen to The Decline. That song was written in like '99 I think but still so relevant to what's happening today. They've got a ton of songs like that. Definitely do The Decline though! It's one of the greatest songs ever written imo.

[@rabbyte3824]

[@01111981notter]

Best Band

[@emmettwelch3794]

Best God in Show.

[@aj81ds]

Check out Anti-Flag. They have a lot of good songs like Turncoat, Hate Conquers All, It Went Off Like A Bomb, Racists, Trouble Follows Me, 911for Peace, The Press Corpse, Confessions of an Economic Hitman, Song For Your Enemy, Break Something. These are just a few of the amazing social/political songs this band has to offer.

[@thech0s3n0ne8]

What about Pennywise - Time marches on, or Date with destiny, they are great songs with deep message

[@dinkusmcgee1015]

😂 I love this guy's reaction❤. If you think that was funny , go check out the live version where they duped conan o'brien😂😂😂

[@aspect57]

More NOFX please! Linoleum in particular. Or like all of Punk in Drublic and/or So Long and Thanks for all the Shoes.

[@Fredmanscoop34]

The Decline

[@CyberChunk77]

I mean, Linoleum is an obvious one... but do it :)

[@garylovell6017]

Have a listen to the band "Rudimentary Peni".

[@brianwilson8390]

Agreed, punk rock don’t give any fucks about political correctness and will say what needs to be said.

[@joshhughes930]

Reeko What’s the Matter With Parents Today Perfect Government Bob All good ones. You should also check out Rancid, perhaps Salvation or Memphis

[@laupstad]

I don't know if you're a gamer. If the world was a giant game of Civilization V the US would've won the game by now through Cultural Victory. We watch your TV shows/movies, we listen to yout music, we eat your food, we wear your clothes. It's all the same in the western world. We're less different than we think over here in Yuropaland. This kind of criticism towards society hits home here as well.

What late night show did they do this on where they roasted W big time?

[@matthealey187]

Please Please Please do a reaction to Propagandhi - Nation States soooo relevant and always will be so long as capitalism thrives.

Lol no FX lol.....but everybody know them hahahhahah

[@lagronemikal]

90's punk rock is my favorite era period of any music. I was in HS then and NOFX were the kings. Unfortunately they went super far left politically so they kinda only whined all the time. I still love them bc I can separate the art from the artist. They're my all time favorite band and I played in a punk band for 15 years and we toured around the southeast. Now as an old ass 44 year old I listen to Tom MacDonald mainly. He's a punk rocker that raps (and has reasoned, thought out political positions).

[@Matt45678]

[@paulodeecastro]

I've heard a lot today I think it sucks. Já escutei muito hoje acho uma bosta.

[@UhYeahWhateverDude]

Great band. This is one of their weakest songs though.

[@retropaganda8442]

That's not punk at all.

[@winterhands]

Definitely second the request for you to give their song The Decline a listen (it is 18 minutes long but it won't feel like it), it hasn't lost any relevance in it's message and stance on where we in society since it's release. NOFX have been going since the 80's and I think they are in double album figures now, I would whole heartedly start working through back catalogue of all that they have done. Some tracks are out and out fun for the sake of being silly, some hold very heavy messages, some are completely aimed at social commentary or the state of the world and some of their songs exist just because. Plenty for you to get through and I look forward to hearing your thoughts afterwards.
