Folk and Posi Punk: Aged Like Wine

A lot of bands made music in reaction to Bush in the 2000s that hasn't particularly aged great for one reason or another, being too specific about the subject or alternately being too generalized and neoliberal to have great impact among the increasingly polarized politics of this modern day. Call this the Green Day Syndrome

However, I will say that the bands who have aged pretty well from the 2000s are explicitly far-left folk-punk bands like Against Me and Defiance Ohio as well as "posipunk" bands Latterman and the related projects that followed which were explicitly feminist, pro-lgbtqia+ etc. Anybody riding the line of anarchism in the Bush era were wildly ahead of their time when at least on social media their numbers have greatly increased over time, and I love their music more than ever these days even if I myself am not an anarchist.
