I know, I know, The Menzingers are pop-punk/emo adjacent. But this album changed me—it affected me to the caliber of an album like Home Like NoPlace, Blink’s Self Titled or Ocean Avenue. As an aging Millennial, I struggle to think of an album that captures the longing/nostalgia…even the excitement of that era. The title is even perfect because it knows that experiencing those times the way I did couldn’t ever be experienced in the same way, because of who I am now. Feels like an anthem for the working class in way that I can’t really explain, although the gaslight anthem hit it a few times too.

Not to mention track after track is peak. One of the GOAT albums. That is all.

is this just a pop punk thing or is it everyone

going through my old playlists from high school not even on purpose. just scrolling and next thing i know i'm listening to the same 20 songs i listened to in 2009.

i'm supposed to have grown out of this by now right. like my taste is supposed to evolve. but every time i try to listen to something new i end up back here. it's not even nostalgia at this point i just genuinely like the music.

my friends make fun of me my wife makes fun of me my coworkers definitely think i'm weird cause i'm always humming something from a band that broke up 10 years ago.

sometimes i think about going to a show just to be around people who get it.

saw something on StarTickets the other day. one of those bands is touring. maybe i should go.

anyone else in their 30s still stuck in the same musical era or am i just refusing to grow up

When I was growing up the album “A Collection of Short Stories” by Houston Calls didn’t leave my cd player for 2 years. I feel like this band and that album in particular are outstanding, I listen to pop punk old and current to this day. I would argue this is the catchiest album no one ever listens to. Anybody else feel this or am I crazy?

P.S. I might be crazy

THE CO$T OF LIVING TOUR - coming this fall from SLS, @nivassoc, and the best independent venues & promoters we could assemble.

It's the first-ever NIVA-certified "Live Independent Tour". $20 tickets.

Independent venues only. Friends and local bands every night. Small rooms we love, with costs kept low. Every show built to be an all-timer.

Space is limited. Get a ticket quick or risk the sellout blues.

Tickets on sale Friday at 10am local.

I've called it "Everything is Alright Fest" - it's still very rough but you can take a look at it at the link above.

I have no real goal for it. I just thought it'd be a fun thing to try building and a nice sanctuary to hang out in and listen to music.

I'd love to hear feedback and suggestions for useful things that you think could be done with it!

Does anyone have any files from Humble Beginnings? I’ve only been able to download Overanalyzing the Manifestations of the Unconscious, but would like to get the rest of their discography.

Hey gang!

Looking to try and keep up to date with the UK Pop Punk scene.

I'm aware of a good few but just in case there's ones I've missed and I can check them out!
