Not exactly 20 years ago because I was 10 back then but I do think it's funny my politics have completely circled back to the politics of the bands I listened to in my early teens: NoFX, RATM, SoaD etc.
I was a typical teen trying to rebel against my parents and you know, conformity maaaan so I hung out at the skate park and listened to punk and metal, it's just that I now understand these bands were mad at the system instead of my parents. Especially since I'm Dutch I barely understood what they were talking about beyond "GWB bad", but it's been interesting going back to those records and now having so much more knowledge and context for the themes and subject matters.
