Listening to old #BadReligion albums and quite shocked how these 1990’s songs captured the trends that were certainly observable back then, but could have simply faded away or morphed, like many others.
But instead they not only became mainstream, and an overwhelmingly global one… Take these for example:
“American Jesus” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12kcpP-8jfM
“Flat Earth Society” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHjYLz9eF7w
“21st Century Digital Boy” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYApdmp6je8
P.S. I’d love to link these from some Funkwhale instance but these seem to be quite limited in numbers…
