if clean-living means straight edge **** that. **** that with a d.ildo wrapped with barbed wire.
i love punk, but if by it's spirit you mean rebelling against and over throwing the system then meh. the world's ****ed and if punk rock was ever going to change anything you'd think it would've actually made progress in the 40, going on 50 years it's been around. perhaps i'm over analyzing it but californian sun-drenched good times represents an acknowledgement of that idea while retaining a love for punk rock energy. i should mention that i'm writing this all under the assumption that you're including pop-punk bands like lifetime and screeching weasel into 'cali sun good times', which is probably stupid.
