did green day’s ‘dookie’ album do more or less to advance the punk scene in the 90s? the answer is more. purists hated them
because they ‘sold out’, but more people discovered bands like rancid and nofx because of that album, and dug deeper down the rabbit hole to find more. for many, punk rock became their identity. that is what is happening to btc now. you can hate the suits - and i do not exactly like them myself - but do not underestimate the minority of passionate btc die hards that will ultimately funnel down because of what is happening. each and every one of them will matter when the real clash for sovereignty hits war-like proportions.
