Operation Ivy: Classic or Dud?

everybody otm in this thread on listening to em on the bus when yr 13

skanking hard rn ty strongo

op ivy is a wonderful band, revisiting and feeling enriched as a former angsty teen who needed to hear music like this

everyone who shit on op ivy in this thread are a jerk and can't remember what it's like to feel like you belong as a stupid high school kid who was in band (so ska is what you thought was cool)

stop calling ska punk "ska"

but yeah Op Ivy is good ska punk tbf

ALL I KNOW IS THAT I DON'T KNOOOOOW

ALL I KNOW IS THAT I DON'T KNOW NOTHIN

ALL I KNOW IS THAT I DON'T KNOOOOOW

ALL I KNOW IS THAT I DON'T KNOW NOTHIN

TFW you listen to the Op Ivy S/T again for the first time in a few years, and open this thread to find your 17 y-o self rolling his eyes at your 13 y-o self. Anyway, I'm pretty sure this is the true core, heart music. Should we poll this?

dude, i wear mine with CAMOSHORTZ
