      @@aestheticbeatz5700 I think I know where He is coming from with the Danzig sucks. For us that grew up listening to them 30 years ago, the BRAND got diluted down to a t-shirt being sold at Hot Topic and worn by people that I would put money on that can't even name 1 song. And Jerry Only turned it to shit.
      And we all found out Glen Danzig was a total Douche Bag. So it made it hard to still like them.
      I think when they had the new singer - Graves - it was a great come back for them. Love Him or Hate him, you had 2 great versions. Like Van Halen, with 2 great singers but everyone always talked about how the other sucked. Why can't you like both. You just can't compare one to the other, or yes, you will hate the other.

    As an European, I can explain : if you except GB, english is not our native language. Our tolerance towards "not that good" bands is hugely based on the fact that we dont care about the lyrics that much. I'll gladly admit that it took me years to find out that The Offspring or Good Charlotte were so corny. And the other thing you have to keep in mind : we are not used to see a lot of those bands, we cant just go to a random US festival and see international superstars, so when they do come, yeah, we make it a big deal. Even in France we dont get to see huge UK bands that much, at least at their peak, like AA or BMTH. So yeah, we settle for Escape The Fate or Bad Omens. Finally, when the big bands are huge in the US, they rarely come for more than a couple shows in our continent, so yeah, we pay to see Hollywood Undead in 2018. But that doesnt mean a lot of us are not well aware of what we paid for.

    As a massive Millencolin fan let me add a few thoughts: some of those things you said were true, yes! They were big in Europe (and Australia where I am from). They got big from Tony Hawk soundtracks. Their early music was pretty basic. Though I feel like they really hit their straps in the 2000's which you didn't comment on. I think their 90's stuff was fun, but immature and poorly produced. Pennybridge Pioneers and Kingwood were both awesome albums imo.

    The thing about Mxpx is that they actually did come from a DIY scene in Bremerton, WA. Listening to podcasts with Mike Herrera (singer, bassist), Washington had some really archaic drinking laws so anybody under 21 couldn’t really go into bars and venues where shows were happening. So when they were coming up in the early 90’s, they had to improvise by putting on shows at VFW halls, Boy Scout halls, churches, etc. just to be able to play anywhere.
    They’re also pretty chill with bands I never would have imagined they would have been, like Anti-Flag, Descendents/All, Sick of it All, The Suicide Machines, Goldfinger (Mike plays bass for them), Blink-182, Nofx (they covered Franco-Un American a few years back with updated lyrics reflecting what’s been going on), Less than Jake, The Movie Life, NFG, Circa Survive, Slick Shoes, and many others. They’ve gotten away from the Christian scene, and they’ve been DIY for a number of years now.

    There's a good reason mediocre pop-punk bands did decently in Europe*. The scenes were much smaller, and this means that there was probably very little local competition in the genre. People in Germany aren't going to listen to a pop-punk band singing in Spanish, which limits things even more. Wikipedia lists the USA as having around 350 pop-punk bands. The UK lists 11. France has 4. If you liked pop-punk, US bands were the only option.
    * let's not forget The Ramones had to come to Europe to find any kind of success too.
    In general I think pop-punk struggled in Europe overall because of the look - guys in their early 20s in knee length shorts, wearing baseball caps backwards, and sounding kind of whiny - it's like an embodiment of negative American youth stereotypes.

      I agree. Hoever, it's also interesting that a lot of bands that are huge in the US never got remotely that big in Europe. The Descendents are a great example. When I got into Pop-Punk (around 2005/2006 in Germany) I didn't know anyone who was listening to the Descendents.

    Obviously, this is your list and I respect that but I would like to make one point in Screeching Weasel's defense. Both Mark and Tom of Blink have mentioned them as one of their biggest influences. Mike Dirnt has mentioned that as one of his favorite bands. I mean, if the cream of the crop in the pop punk world says they're an influence on them, I'm not sure F tier is fair. Blink even covered one of their songs on the Buddha record. Which, I believe but could be wrong, is the only cover they ever recorded on one of their albums as opposed to a "punk goes..." compilation.

      Pennywise is a solid fucking punk band. Back in the day, they were the punk band I'd always introduce to people who didn't listen to punk. That said you only have to listen to 1 Pennywise album because every album is the exact same, they've released the same album like 12 times. It's really hard to choose them over punk bands who actively experiment, improve and come out with a fresh sounding album every couple years (NOFX, Rancid, Rise Against, etc...)

      Although they have many similar songs, I feel many of the album's are clearly identifable from others. example, the ST album sounds clearly different from Land Of The Free, which sounds clearly difference to About Time, which sounds clearly different to Full Circle.
      I'd say most albums post Land Of The Free do kinda follow the same formula and blur quite a bit, but within each one there are fast songs, mid tempo songs and slow songs.
      Across all their albums there is definitely enough to keep them fresh to listen to. Plus they're a huge influence on so many other bands and don't have that "jock frat boy" reputation anywhere outside of North America.
      Also love their posi-punk mentality. Unlike many punk bands they are uplifting and offer supportive, self empowering messages

    I love the shade for Screeching Weasel. They are one of those bands i tried to get into several times over the years, but just couldn’t. Would love to get your take on some of the UK bands like Buzzcocks - or really any of those first wave bands that had melody

    Great video. Surprisingly, a lot of the bands I loved haven’t shown up in any of your videos. Well, some have been mentioned off the cuff. Maybe they’re trash. Or too small. What do I know about good music. But I’m just gonna put a list and hope I see a few over the coming months and years.
    Mest
    Zebrahead
    The Ataris
    Flogging Molly
    LIT
    Me First and the Gimme Gimmes
    H2O
    Gob
    Brand New
    Lucky Boys Confusion (my favorite band ever. Everyone check them out. Throwing the Game album especially)
    Allister
    Finch
    Motion City Soundtrack
    Unwritten Law
    Letterkills (Lights Out, original version, top 5 for me)
    Starting Line
    Yellowcard
    Senses Fail (early Senses Fail)
    Rufio
    I’m probably forgetting more than I’ve listed. But if a few people get turned on to some they see, then I’m happy.
    Thanks for your videos.

    Hey Finn, can you make a video about you making your own record label and who would be in your roster?? I think you have a pretty wide range of musical taste and have a pretty decent ear, you’ve definitely put me onto shite. Soo i would love to hear your like record label roster, name, how you would run it, etc…

    I agree with the D tier bands assessment. I am at the point where I really enjoy finding bands from my heyday (I'm 32) that I had never checked out that got overlooked and are actually pretty good. It is a super comfy feeling, as they have a sound I like and they are new to me.

      What a weird, but surprisingly diverse, billing. Pop punk, alternative-ish semi-emo (Blinside), and nu metal. Surprised P.O.D. kept them on the tour after smoking a blunt onstage (though they were probably locked into a contract at that point).
