-- Debito, June 12th, 2004.
Same here, but some of their songs still rock.Search: Knowledge, Soundsystem, Missionary, Here We Go Again, Artificial LifeDestroy: that fucking song about jumping in bushes, I can't remember what its called. (just remembered: Hedgecore. Destroy Hedgecore.)
They did have lots of dumb songs, inspired horrible bands, and losers wear their t-shirt, but damned if I don't still have a soft spot for them.

classic.
I have been listening to Op Ivy lately which is something I haven't done since H.S. when I pretty much listened to them every single morning on the bus for my entire senior year. I think it still holds up for what it was and it's good spring/summer listening. <3
― EN Save-A-Ken BB (ENBB), Saturday, 4 April 2009 01:49 (fifteen years ago) link
i like op ivy, but man o man, i was irritated in high school by the neverending parade of op ivy t-shirts. in mid-90s southern california they were standard issue. that and bad religion t-shirts. not sure if the people who wore them even owned the albums.
― tylerw, Saturday, 4 April 2009 01:53 (fifteen years ago) link
hahaha. First band shirt I ever bought and yeah, that was in the mid-90s but on LI. In my girls catholic HS though I was the only one.
― EN Save-A-Ken BB (ENBB), Saturday, 4 April 2009 01:56 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah i think it was a weird regional phenomenon ... like at some point kids graduated from offspring/green day shirts to op ivy and bad religion. and then maybe pennywise/NOFX. and then sublime/bob marley.
― tylerw, Saturday, 4 April 2009 01:59 (fifteen years ago) link
classic, but the moment Brad Nowell heard them and went "y'know, I think I can do this too", Tim Armstrong shoulda sent him in a pane of glass into outer space

whatever, dude
this album is great tho ive been revisiting it lately & surprisingly still so great

― Neanderthal, Sunday, 7 August 2011 16:45 (twelve years ago) link
Classic, and I agree with the folks upthread saying they fit almost perfectly when you're in your mid-teens. Prone to digging out the odd song during fits of nostalgia still.

op ivy is a wonderful band, revisiting and feeling enriched as a former angsty teen who needed to hear music like this
― global tetrahedron, Friday, 28 June 2019 18:26 (four years ago) link
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)
― global tetrahedron, Friday, 28 June 2019 18:36 (four years ago) link

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?
