Seems like it's just fanboyism and they can't stand that a band they care about (or at least enjoy) has sold out to the absolute worst degree. People are right in that all bands sell out to a certain point ("All you know about me is what I've sold ya, dumb fuck/I sold out long before you'd ever even heard my name/I sold my soul to make a record, dipshit/And then you bought one" -- Hooker with a Penis, Tool), but when you specifically accept a gig that is just some elitist executive party for a company that treats its employees like shit, you've gone too far.

Fuck the Foos. And stop making it political ("lol, liberals") -- bullshit, this is just rampant band fanboyism.

Bands who break through walls with speakers

Not just try to sell you sneakers

You want bands who wanna sell you things

Or bands who wanna tell you things?

One of the last punk dudes still making a statement instead of doing shows for 50 year old execs.

And stop making it political

It's political because caring about people who aren't rich is political.

The fact that you think it's a certain side that does this is the only reason you think it's political. And you're wrong about it.

I'm not talking about just politicians. I'm talking about all conservatives. And yes, only one "side" is like that. It's their defining trait.
