Nineties Friday Vlog & Tunes! For Friday 10/10/25 🎸 When Punk Rock Went Mainstream! Four Tune Friday On Nineties Friday Tunes 💿 & Talk 🎙️
On this #FourTuneFriday on Nineties Friday I’m covering the big three bands who didn’t just have a mainstream one hit wonder or one album flash in pan but instead had multiple huge albums in the nineties and beyond (Green Day Offspring Blink182) and for fourth pick I throw in Social Distortion who wasn’t as big mainstream success wise but did pave the way by going to a major label in 1990 years prior to that 1994 explosion when Green Day & Offspring blew up on MTV & Alt Rock radio. I also mention Rancid as bonus tune & pick who didn’t reach same highs as those two but did ride that wave & have biggest major label offers ever but declined and stayed independent. I get into all this & more in vlog below!
Let’s get into it! In vlog below I go into how punk rock went mainstream and more!
