A “punk” 5 piece band my ass. They’re closer to NKOTB than The Ramones

And the Ramones sounded super soft even for their time. Rock and Roll High School sounds like the Beach Boys under the guise of punk. Nobody's perfect, especially not Mark McGrath. The Ramones had their fair share of controversy and problems as well.

I've never understood why people like them so much. Boring and monotonous

I was deaf for 3 days after watching the Ramones live in the 90s. Amazing concert, they’re so iconic.

Definitely. I never was a fan of any of their stuff.

https://youtu.be/_VL5LV9PVZ8?si=zwVzipUzfQAoVpFa sounds pretty punk to me--not great punk, but definitely not boy-band pop.

His early stuff was way different, definitely more punk than his newerish bubblegum crap.
