OK. Find the word groundbreaking in my post and I will give you my car. Name any band that sounds like sublime!!!! Please don't start naming off bands that no one has ever heard of. And please don't include 311 either. If you think 311 and Sublime are similar bands then we obv have nothing to talk about. Then you obv are fucking deaf!! I honestly think that when Sublime became a mainstream band that "real punkers" couldn't like em. Cmon, you cant be a real punker and listen to mainstream music right? You would get laughed out the punker community in the blink of an eye. I'm not so sure it is their music people dislike. Its the fact that a band that you used to think was cool, now everyone thought they were cool. So suddenly it wasn't so cool to like Sublime. When the cheerleaders and jocks started getting into Sublime, you were forced to become a hater. Really no choice right? Maybe they made it to the mainstream because they sounded good. Maybe the bands you love that arent apart of that scene, are missing for a reason. Maybe thats because they sound like garbage. Dont hate on a band because their not shitty enough to stay buried in the underground.
