In a perfect world all punk bands would be like Leftover Crack, in a squat with a needle up their arm, but I can't hate on NOFX even if they've turned into world travelers.
NOFX has the amazing ability to ruin anything it touches. They've completely ruined this song for me, because now I have to hear "clever" jackasses say, "Did you know NOFX did a cover of that?"
NOFX so didn't start pop punk. They aren't hard as nails like some bands, but then neither were a lot of older bands - starting with the Ramones. I challenge you to find one NOFX song that wouldn't piss off normals. They don't sing about "girls liking cars and money" and all that bullshit.
