Eh, we've got good not old dude punk bands, it's very Japanese noise weebshit which to me seems like an excuse to bring Street Punk back but either call it UK 82 or add pedals and call it a day. It's been boring as fuck lately.
It's a bummer in North America that bands don't really tour. They just fly out to festivals and the audience is supposed to travel and shit like that. Rock star shit
This predates covid and some just haven't really ever toured. Look at the lower half of the lineups for HAGL or Varning or Skullfest or whatever and any bands you find in common are probably doing that
Came here to say this
ITT people who don't even own a single Discloae split 7"
Folk Punk: "Yeah so my dad is a venture capitalist and he bought me a banjo"
Imagine the worst house show you've ever been to
"This song's called 'I Hate My Life But Live My Friends'"
Friends: cheer
Everyone else: silent
*unintentionally muted or randomly sttummed too hard acoustic guitar *
IM SAD
CAUSE IM SOMEWHERE I DIDNT GROW UP
PARKING LOT
I HATE FRIEND
I LOVE FRIEND
I WISH THE LEFT WING REVOLVED AROUND ME
AND MY FRUSTRATION WITH MY DAD
The only thing you could hope for at that point is some sweaty old d-beat fucks taking the stage

Lmao look at us: We're the "whatever you dang kids are doing you're doing it wrong even if it's good" guys now.

What the hell are you even talking about? What are the bands that you like that used to tour and only play festivals now?
Covid fucked everything up.
