they removed several songs from their setlists nowadays due to some of the problematic stuff, namely "I'm not a Loser" and "Pervert".

when I was Milo's age on Milo Goes to College, I was still a Fundamentalist, pro-life, anti-Affirmative Action incel.

I would say it describes "Everything Sux" which is the last time I really engaged with them and the newer stuff might be different but I can see how people who grew up on the "classics" could also be down with the Oathkeepers or Proud Boys or whatevs. Punk bands having problematic audiences aren't really a new thing.

Oh, I absolutely get why someone like that might have been big into the Descendents, I just get a little weird about drawing a straight line and blaming the music directly for who these doofuses became or the choices the made. It's ugly when the right uses it to excuse school shootings and I try not to fall into that trap elsewhere.

To be clear, no one did that!

There were a few posts nodding in that direction though.

one year passes...

Milo had a heart attack last night followed by bypass surgery and is in recovery. All Descendents shows are canceled until further notice.
