Punk songs tend to be very, very short and fast. But, one day, the NOFX guys said "fuck that" and decided to make something a bit longer, and here we are, with an 18-minute punk song written in '99. To be honest, it feels more like multiple songs glued together than a "whole" song with changing theme/style. I never listened that much to NOFX or bands like them, they were not "culturally relevant" for me growing up, but they (and bands like that) did influence some of my musical tastes (I also blame THPS for this). I do miss, sometimes, some variation of rock music that feels a bit uplifting/energetic while having lyrics embedded with social critique. It feels like people in the 90s and early 2000s, in Western societies, were more hopeful about the future, and music from that time reflected that regardless of theme and genre. Or it might just be nostalgia speaking. Who knows.
