Oh, man. I haven’t thought about this in years, but someone did an interview re: punk music in the peak Green Day years, the gist of which was dunking on bands full of grown ass adults complaining that their dads were making them do their homework. Does anyone else remember this with more specificity?

It's a nonsense argument though. Labels weren't signing random teenager bands. Like Blink 182 formed when they were 17 but Cheshire Cat didn't come out until they were already 20. Linkin Park is also an example where they form in highschool and then it still takes 4 years for their first cd to come out. The height of their popularity is always going to be after years of hard work. It's like looking at the baseball hall of fame and then complaining that they only choose old people who aren't in their prime anymore.
