So a punk rock band ousted one of their members for not conforming with the establishment? Truly an upsidedown world we live in.

Same goes for The Eagles who required all fans to have the vaccine. I just found this out today about Pete Parada and instantly lost respect for his former bandmates.
Pete Parada is clearly the only real punk rocker in the band. Good riddance to establishment bands.
This is total B.S.! I cant believe Dex would go along with this. I was part of the music industry in the late 90's early 2000's. I managed several bands. I lived 4 houses down from Dex in H.B.. I know Pete and the rest of the guys. For the life of me I cannot understand why this group of guys would conform to the narrative lock step with everyone else. Not the critically thinking dudes that I knew. This just proves that when your government lies to you there is no room for dissension.

I think with most anything that considers itself a counter culture rebellion, it's a tall order to expect the punk / HC scene to have coexisted with any ideas or people within it that didn't fall in line with an overall preset narrative. Bands or artists can go on about their stances in the liner notes of an album or on-stage, but in the end it probably wasn't much more than the caveman logic of certain ideologies not being popular within a music scene, because they're unpopular, so don't ask questions, just consume approved product messaging and get excited with your friends for next product / album... A counter culture by its very nature doesn't coexist with disagreement. It struggles like its got an external existential crisis on its hands 24 / 7. Siege mentality. I think like with academia the whole HC music scene just paid lip service to critical thinking because it fit (and sold) the image better than being a recruitment vehicle for lockstep political indoctrination over 3 decades.

Today's punker has the same world view as a corporate HR employee.
“Take the shot to save vulnerable people!” “I’m a vulnerable person” “Take the shot for the greater good or we’ll sacrifice you” “So it’s not about protecting vulnerable people like me?” “You’re dead to us”
Way to go Pete, Purebloods unite. We may around alot longer than the weak minded.
The Offspring will cease to exist after the upcoming 30 booster minimum.
So sorry this happened to you. Covid BS caused so many people to be divided in so many ways. And it's even worse when you find out your associates will give you up so easily. I hope you heal and find sucess and artistic satisfaction.

The same thing happened to me. I was confronted about my vxstat and then replaced just a couple of days before a long scheduled gig. I now create my own music because I can play all the instruments and don't need these paranoid, uninformed losers anymore! Have not missed any of them for a second. Nice to have all the bs they brought removed!
I am a Big fan! I took my daughters twice to see them in the last year. If I had of known this, I would not have done so.
That's just pathetic. This was their boy for 14 years dropped like hot garbage. They can never make an argument they're good people, way too definitive an act _"We're just some suckers with no loyalty oh yay-yaaaa!_

Punk is no longer. I followed hard core from the mid-1980s, and it was all about being yourself and not mindlessly conforming to whatever narrative was going on in society for the sake of fitting in. Offspring came about later (late stage punk era), and just like the Foo Fighters, they went all in on getting the experimental medical treatment in 2021. Really sad.

Ya, later "Offspring". No more.
Things to consider. In case others have already commented, I apologize for being redundant. First: this is solely my opinion, but Offspring stink. Always have. They are considered "pop punk" or "skate punk". Not truly a punk band like Ramones, The Clash or Sex Pistols. They are NEVER mentioned in conversations about those bands, and i don't think Adam (god bless him) really knows anything about those bands other than to build up his musical street cred like being a John Hyatt fan and calling Limp Bizkit talentless without ever considering what Wes Borland contributed. Next: Typically, offspring are mentioned more with bands like Blink -182 (who's drummer is married to a Kardashian), and Green Day who make musicals now. Not very punk. All three of these bands are also the benchmark of not only the "Three Chord" music style (which god love Adam) is not talented musicianship but it is simply following a recipe. Moreso: Dexter is a business man before anything else. He owns a Cessna (which I don't need to mention later that he got sued for not making payments on it in 2014), he also owns a mediocre hot sauce brand called Gringo Bandito. Many people like Adam (god bless him) see this as being cleverly entrepreneurial. Most just see it as money grubbing sellout type of stuff. Yes: I could easily make this an "Adam just chases celebrities" argument. But who cares. We would too if given the opportunity. Its been played out and adam has his explanations for all of that. Ultimately: offspring is a business, think about the business you work for, or maybe one your buddies work for. Probably got fired or let go for not complying to whatever the soup of the day was. Not sticking up for Dexter or Offspring, just pointing out the fact that they're CEOs and NOT musicians. Not counter culture or anything else. I appreciate Adam (god bless him) for having the nuts to be disappointed in Dexter et al. Fuck those guys and I bet they look pretty fuckin dumb right now. We do live in an upside down world right now, i agree. But at this point, I don't think there's a SINGLE celebrity in our upside down world who isn't going to let you down anymore. You're allowed to like what you like. You're allowed to change your mind based on political proclivity. Its certainly enlightening to listen to this.
