The Crowd-Operation ivy

[TronDB333]

I miss the good ol' days when music meant something. You know what I mean

-Nickleback

-My Chemical Romance

-Coldplay

-Green Day

-Linkin Park

The late 90's-pre2010 was, in my 14-year old opinion, the golden age of modern music. Now the radios are crowded with meaningless rap, empty sex songs, or are some of far too few songs that actually have a true, deeper meaning.

[freeze118]

@TronDB333 Obviously everyone believes the music they grew up in is good.

[baxterdavdj]

..we need a gatering instead...awsome

[SkyWalkxXEyeless]

oh! oh! ooooooooooooooh!

[Thallod]

Kids these days are 50% crackbabies thats why theyre all dumb as shit.

[LJfromIB]

@Thallod no...............

[RomeroNHull]

OH OH OHH!

[sloshvictim]

sooooo fucking GOOD!!!

[ActionRoad]

i wonder if there are any op ivy videos where half the comments aren't about green day...

[RokvshoCore]

I think this song inspirated Kick Him When Hes Down from The Offspring, insnt ?

[Tenorsax621]

Apparently this band inspired Green Day....... I can see why, they're awesome!

[RitzDaCracker1]

@Tenorsax621 this band inspired most punk bands around today

[mousey1875]

I may only be fourteen years young, but Tim Armstrong's music always reminds me of my childhood. I guess cause that's what my dad likes to listen to :)..

[MrHaydenstoner]

no bad for converse and skinny jeans music

[Magnack13]

Tim Armstrong is THE man ! love him !

[Zakatheriya]

@itsmarshmallowz

I thought they were just like...

ska-punk...

I don't really care what genre they are in the end, because they're fucking awesome no matter what you call them.

[rockfan856]

I'm pretty sure this song inspired green days song holiday I mean it sounds alot like it

[ActionRoad]

I would sell my soul to go back in time and see op ivy live

[mbs1420]

@itsmarshmallowz "N00bs" I'll bet your fucking 11 years old, you jackass. If you're not, you're fuking acting like it.

[cemotoful]

why the fuck did they have to end the band after their first record

[CTE0895]

its ska-punk both genres are great quit complaining and enjoy the music

[shermaje2]

who the fuck cares what it's classified as, it's good music...

[WachaDrop]

@itsmarshmallowz Fuck your subgenres, poser bitch

[alexnohander]

idk shut the fuck up its a punk band and everyone fucking knows it

[gogodamo]

shut up and appretiate the song and not bitch

[FlatLand43]

This song rocks like a landslide

[pyroslayer83]

[fugitivepope666]

fuckin' sweet ass slide show!

[habanosca]

There's a middle ground my friends, its called ska punk

[ThePubeylewis]

For those who truly understand, "WE GOT THAT PMA."

[getoe1]

ohhh this song still rocks !

[DaFunkYaaa]

EVERYONE ARGUING ABOUT WHETHER OP IVY IS PUNK OR NOT ITS NOT ITS SKA!!!!!

[BillHicks420]

@DaFunkYaaa It's ska punk you dumbass.. Original ska sounds nothing like this anyway. If you're gonna preach about right music genres, don't act like a prick. And IF you decide to act like a prick, AT LEAST be right!

[DaFunkYaaa]

@BillHicks420 dude, i know what original ska sounds like, it originated from reggae and i know it sounds nothing like this.

[BillHicks420]

@DaFunkYaaa I see you use google... If you are so sure what it is, then why did make the claim that op ivy is "NOT PUNK ITS SKA"?

[iEatBoneDust]

Jesse was one of the nicest guys I'd ever met.

[Brephos]

still best rock song ever, suck it!

[sleepingdragon93]

OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH BBBAAABBBYYYYYYYYYYYY

[HoboSponge]

fuck yeahhh real music operation ivy. what life really means.

[EnrX73]

Wrenched into the world, deanaesthetized

Blurry images fiht their way through halfway opened eyes

Awakened by alarm fifteen minutes of hygeine

Twenty minutes of eating thirty seconds to the door

I looked outside I looked into the eyes

Of the impersonal mob I've seen a thousand times before

Feeling under covers like books on a shelf

If we're scared of one another

Must be scared of ourself

[EnrX73]

More than just another crowd

We need a gathering instead

Drink drink in the badland liquid bread for the poor

Another member of the crowd goes down to drown at the liquor store

Choose your escape in the heartland

Of product and demand when you feel like a wasp in the swarm

You gotta get away anyway that you c

[FaII0u7]

*skanks with all the happy ppl, bumping into all the screw faces till they join in*

[SamuraiViking213]

You know what's REALLY punk rock? NOT GIVING A FUCK WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY OR THINK. All of you out there, old school and new, who attach these limiting definitions to what it means to be punk are missing the point entirely. The punkest people out there are the ones who simply could not care less. Punk is an attitude, a state of mind, not a particular style of music or dress. The most hardcore punk I ever met was in his 40s, wore suits and ties and listened to Elvis and the Stones. :P

[DickLord86]

@SamuraiViking213 i dont give a fuck

[nycrackhead]

Is diabetes an STD?

[138lorenzo]

Why do all the comments deal with arguing? i know your finding a way to let your inner rebel "get out of you" just keep it to yourself and let operation ivy heal this anger!! im not dissing anyone just creating peace between this crowd! (:

[PracticalManiac]

I am learning that complaining does not solve the problem, lets just talk out our butts, it's fun you know?

[Finchey88Boiii88]

@JMort95 tim armstrong was very influenced by the clash before he started writing music so it is similer in a lot of ways

[JMort95]

@Finchey88Boiii88 jesse wrote this shit!

[orangekirsche]

@LiJaX199 no?! I only said that i didn't know this band before. I don't know what you mean really..

[orangekirsche]

I heard of the band cause its mentioned in the green day biography nobody likes you. Cool!

[LiJaX199]

@orangekirsche and youre watching a biography of green day?....

[cricketsinwigs]

@LiJaX199 green day and op ivy were friends when they first started so shut the fuck up. rancid is all over t.v. too you probably love rancid. don't you, faggot?

[xkirian]

@cricketsinwigs actually rancids gone more underground since the early 2000's. im in the eastbay and NO ONE knows who they are. they are way less commercial now

[cricketsinwigs]

@xkirian gtfo troll

[nick2081000]

sex pistols are way better,op ivy good but not like sex pistols or the early clash!

[fefesfrtwet]

@nick2081000 late clash is brilliant too!

[sweet518]

@JMort95 "Fuck the Clash" ? Now I prefer Operation Ivy, but still. The Clash man!

[SouthSho450]

@nick2081000

way better ? come on !

[nick2081000]

punk in prison means fag so dont go saying your more punk there

[SouthSho450]

this band opened up the ultimate era of punk rock !!! big up to them !!

the sex pistols aint got shit on them...

you love real punk rock ?! you ought to love op ivy !!

[213chocker]

good memories from mexico city, good bands and skateboardindg plus alcohol and radical things. oohh yeahhh

[Bambrzej]

JCHC!

[KillaTequilla83]

OMG IM SO PUNK FUCK THIS FUCK THAT AM I COOL YET??

/ :',

[RavenEffectFan1]

Thank God for older brothers who share their music with you from an early age. Tons of love towards this band, forever.

[punkforever100]

@frictionmaui if you care enough about other people to bother telling them that your punk then your not punk you fucking moron

[frictionmaui]

@punkforever100 IF you understood english you fucking retard....you would have understood that I wasn't saying I was punk.

Read it again fuck face!!!!!!!!!

[CycoKelbo]

Let me just say I think its cool that a guy named redneck bob uploaded this . Being from oklahoma know alot of rednecks , and their not all inbred assholes , some are very punkish , they just dont realize it . Hell yeah . Oi From OK !

[STR8OUTTACHICAGO1]

The whole idea of "punk" culture is to not brag about how punk you are. It's about being yourself no matter what and standing up for what you believe in. Sometimes those things are unpopular but at the end of the day, at least you real with yourself!

[RaeOfSunshine891]

dont rlly like it

[EdwardXXScissorhands]

Love itttttttt.

[Ilovelatinas86]

This song portrays perfectly the monotony of the life of the modern man. The punk scene, or any gather of like minded individuals for that matter, is supposed to be an escape from the faceless masses. It's not supposed to be commercialized rebellion and tribal warfare. We need a gathering instead.

[squidvicious27]

@Ilovelatinas86 u just 100% summed up how i feel

[inthecan]

@Ilovelatinas86 Word the fuck up!

[Blazeingman]

@Ilovelatinas86 The gathering should be called Punkstock

[kagemusha101]

@Ilovelatinas86 Stop looking so deep into a piece of music seriously why is everyone arguing, just fecking sit back and enjoy

[connormorrissey]

your gay mate

[frictionmaui]

Look at all of the standard you tube comments like:

I AM WAY MORE PUNK THAN YOU

[AlexanderKupo2184]

@frictionmaui No one gives a fuck.

[JECKEL1000]

but my ONLY point is WHO GIVES A FUCK! no body here really cares what i have to say or what you have to say or what they have to say, WE ARE ALL TALKING OUT OUR ASSES! SO WHO GIVES A FUCK! NOT YOU! tthats who

[JECKEL1000]

i agree with bob to an extent, but ima punk cuz ima punk that all there is to it, like nofx said

'' if society dont bother me theres something wrong with that'' but i love how when you look at comments theres alway some dick cheese that dont know dick and some guy who is telling him he is so wrong and all the usual basic non-origonal prototypical non conformist answers,

[skamaster48]

operation ivy ain't punk? LOL

[OldSkoolThrasher666]

best op ivy song ever....and yes kids, please stay in school....and to all the asshats pleas stfu and enjoy the song

[bejohn343]

Absolutely amazing

[KanoKazuma94]

[zhn0k]

[bassist4141]

[TrigunCole]

[jiritlusty11]

@TrigunCole ye buddy

[DonTroska]

[lv71389]

Matt freeman!!!

[thomasarnestrand]

Genre shromner, lets dance!

[megacracker455]

Wow can all of you just stfu and enjoy the good music k thx :D

[SaintLemons]

mike watt once said that genres are bullshit

[orrphin]

purple monkey dishwasher shhhhhhhhhh

[linusro93]

ok Punk is a way of life not music.. Ska can be punk, as punk rock or even rap can be...

[zkomo1]

Stop grouping music its just another imginary line dividing us all. Who gives a fuck what you call it, if you like it, listen to it, if not, theres plenty of music out there.

[emang3]

im gay

[SATURDAYateSUNDAY]

@emang3 congrats what a purple cake? gtfo of here!!!!!

[bassmasta1626]

5 people cant skank

[JMort95]

@bassmasta1626 3 people like a stupid comment

[Gabrieloftw]

thumbs up for operation ivy!!

[BloodyHarrow]

If you want to argue about whether or not a band is or isn't punk then you're the same as the people who listen to bob marley and bob dylan smoking pot and calling them spokenmen for drugs, you're just missing the point. Music is about meaning, not labels... so shut your mouth and open your mind.

[Casualties116]

@BloodyHarrow couldn't of said it better my self.

[KidFaw]

@BloodyHarrow right on dude.

[g3rmz23]

@BloodyHarrow Yeah, but didn't Bob Marley kinda make smoking weed the point of some of his music??

O_o

[JMort95]

im starting to hate cliche and overused and forced punk attribute. like a nofx song, becuase they are trying to be punk more than being themselves. thats why i still love op ivy and sublime they dont label themselves shit and are unique

[TheFavoriteShot]

@JMort95 depends on when you look at nofx. First nofx they were really goofy, then they tried to open people's eyes to the problems with society. They never said they're punks, but they said they're playing punk music.

[JMort95]

@TheFavoriteShot nowadays government is not to horrible but society is. nofx and cliche punks look for excuses to argue about.

[rickface13]

@BloodyHarrow Hey check out from the cradle to the grave(Subhumans)...i posted it, and someone else(doesntmatter) you should hear the song tho (if u havent) it makes sense..besides it was written the samr time as "The Decline" and means just as much...

[NeoMavarickThinkers]

@BloodyHarrow Finally an ioda of brains in a sea of dumb asses!!

[lashlecf]

@BloodyHarrow it wasn't until I quit using drugs that I was able to truly hear the message behind bob marley. I really like this comment!

[TheRydog100]

Ska FTW

[xPsychoticSanityx3]

This song makes me want to play a Tony Hawk skate game.

[darkesangel]

5 PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE!!!!!!

[adictpunk88]

" we need to gather instead"

[Gabrieloftw]

We need a gathering instead.

[Jdhslightlystoopid1]

How can you say this isn't punk? Lol.. I mean.. seriously..

[orilaction15]

Redneckbob understand ! fuck you punky image you suck all with your 300$ leather coat full of studs !! you all love simple plan cock suckers you fucking dont know punk rock

[rift267]

@orilaction15 hey i have a leather jacket but i stole it fu#k paying for it

[drgonzito613]

I LIKE BLINK 182...........come get me suckers

[banderse]

@drgonzito613 haha pretty sure if you were born in the 80's you grew up listening to blink at one point in the time and can't really dislike them...unless you are a cocksucker LOLZ

[MushuPork13]

Why the fuck is Green Day in the suggestions list?

[PeAcELuNa9]

@MushuPork13

cuz there punk.

there old stuff it 100% punk.

GD and operation ivy used to have the same record company.

[MushuPork13]

@PeAcELuNa9 True, true. I can listen to their old stuff. But 21 Guns? pfft. I guess I'll just have to live with the fact that they grew up... :)

[PeAcELuNa9]

@MushuPork13 yeah, i like their new stuff, but as far as punk rock goes there old stuff triumphs!!!

[Howsoonisnow2009]

Transported back to high school, which was still after this band had called it quits. Good tune

[SquiddVicious]

The Darlings do a really good cover of this song

[xXxRUSTINPEACExXx]

ok so ... here's a question, that first pic of the skanking dude... what the fuck is up with his right hand!?!? nothing against operation ivy of course.

[ssilb77]

OP IVY WILL NEVER DIE}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

[JimBowie1133]

H Street skate videos introduced me to Op Ivy in the 80s, Big Ups

[Seizre]

I love OP IV

[bloodrain744]

wow now i know why my friends are obsessed with this band and NOFX, this is some great shit

[madvegan66]

LINT: THE KING OF SKA!

[sillibaby]

Punk has never died, there is a lot of punkers out there who loves theyr music and wouldn give a damn about what people think about them or their music. Live and love your music people ^^

[panterica91]

@sillibaby fuck yeah punk never died hahahaha

[LeBeastee]

@panterica91 idk man, I love punk as much as the next guy...but where did it go?

The Punk/Hardcore scene nowadays is filled with silly fucking vegan communists who want the government to take all our money.

So is "punk" really still alive? Or are people just still making punk music.

[panterica91]

@LeBeastee i agree with you 1 million percent. i live right by berkely california so i see it ALL the time haha. but just like any form of music if you want to hear the real music and not the watered down shit people claim to love, you need to look in the underground. keep your eyes and ears open and you will see punks not dead, its jsut not quite what it used to be haha

[LeBeastee]

@panterica91 hahaha I hear you man, but it's true, there still are bands that are keeping the faith.

It's good to know I'm not the only sane one on the internet though!

[Streetking412]

this reminds me of anti-flag...I love it!!! XD

[chaosx03]

Punk is fucking dead.. but Punk rock isnt.

[SKRIBBLE4ME]

That makes no fucking sense. In fact you contradicted yourself.

[joselph1980]

where can i get thee tracks for free..taken me back to circa 1995'

[retsilalister]

@joselph1980 lime wire ;]

[johnnydorris]

this band still kicks my ass on so many levels..good memories,great times

[fausimo]

fuck punk fuck alternative fuck progressive fuck rap fuck mainstream fuck reggae fuck ska fuckit, we need to kill these words in order to make the best new music and to make ourselves more united

[hatchet0dude]

op ivy!!!!!!!!!!!! PUNK ROCK!

[wlemw]

[MoriahxMurder]

i. love. op ivy. fuck you stupid haters.

[KEKOLUL]

oh great.. I come to listen to an op ivy song after a while, and immediately I see idiots arguing over these stupid comments...

[Vandetto]

@KEKOLUL

I say leave the punx to their stupid arguments over what is and is not punk and enjoy the music.

[217KM]

@KEKOLUL seriously. people..just goes to show how easily you let people get to you...when you should just be here to listen to this AMAZING band

[jiritlusty11]

[piercedlizard77]

@KEKOLUL No shit huh?

[AbiTheRambler]

[meowman94]

@redneckbob too right be who you wnana be like what you liek dress how you want be frineds with who you like cos all that counts is who you know you are not what others think of you and never let the man put you down

[Apaco231]

@redneckbob You're comment is very punk sir. <3

[mancow5]

@redneckbob

you didn't listen to the song did you? "WHAT ONCE WAS REBELLION IS NOW JUST A SOCIAL SCENE" that means get off your ass and take to the streets and stand for a fucking cause don't just listen to the music because its cool, its a message and a call to arms to claim our fucking freedom.

[Dem640]

@redneckbob whos sayng op ivy isnt punk i dont rele give a fuck about their opinion but im just a little confused

[f3z3rz]

Green Day now is Pop period.

[NOSEFERATU26]
