How have Bad Religion lyrics been unambiguously correct on everything since '89?
It's simple 4/4 fast, wordy punk stabs with multipart vocal harmonies in the breakdowns (unless Gurewitz was authoring a track instead of Graffin). But man - that paleontologist really has our number.

IMO BandCamp is the best platform. However, the average music listener doesn’t use it. So those seeking streaming revenue over record sales, using another platform is needed.
BC costs nothing to host, so it has that edge. Hard to pay to stream and see absolutely nothing from it if streams are low

spotify is not a music platform, it’s a tech platform designed to extract wealth from musicians and place it into the pockets of executives. hope this helps.

Feel the same way about that band. Every once in a while I will listen to a song or two but that’s my limit.

funny how the most popular takeaway from this is "oh no, I'm old" and not "yeah, this music's timeless"
