Bus Stile Activities – Descendents Concert Review
First they came for the Descendents: I’d voted against Trump. Then they came for Taylor Swift: I still am voting against Trump.
Saturday, 9-14-2024….I took the Number 1, a 62 dollar 31 day bus pass dropped me off in front of North Market.
I walked down into Kemba. I saw punks of all ages excited about Columbus’ 2024 liveage.
The Descendents took the stage at Kemba Live.
Descendents’ singer, Milo Aukerman yelled O-H…Kemba Live responded I-O—-Milo Aukerman announced Descendent’s haven’t played Columbus since Staches.
I looked up Descendents at Staches. I found online…Descendents played Staches every year from 1985-1987. I didn’t know how far Descendents went back. The legendary New Alliace/SST/Epitaph/Fat Wreck band launched into “Feel This,” “Hope,” and one of my favorite Descendent’s songs, “Silly Girl.” 
I saw a punk in orbit riding shoulders, and hands towards the stage in a trajectory of my left vantage. I looked at our surroundings. A buff kid in a tank-top sung along. Kemba’s entire audience were elated in company of punk legends.
I liked the Descendents as a teenager. I haven’t listened in years. I still like Descendents. I looked around. Kemba was packed. People of all ages filled Kemba. Descendents aren’t a band you regret.
The youths were in control of the excitement.
Descendents played “I Wanna Be a Bear.” Descendants drummer Bill Stevenson’s aggressive rhythm drove the hook and chorus. I’d described the Descendants as Dead Milkmen with Surf City pop attributes.
After hearing Staches mentioned, I decided I’d look up which year Descendants were founded. The Descendants were founded in late 70’s Southern California. Descendents preceded Philadelphia’s 1983’s Dead Milkmen. Descendants played “Clean Sheets,” “Everything Sux” and several other songs while teenagers slam-danced. I laughed. I understood why teenagers liked the Descendents while Milo sung , “I Like Food.” about…Noshing vittles. Teenagers like Descendants because the band sings about food, relationships, non-conformity, and fun.
Everyone chanyed, “I like food/ food tastes good.”
While watching Descendents’ rousing pit…I found myself in a boisterous crack-up.
During the January 6th testimonies,  Jason Van Tatenhove of the far-right paramilitary group the Oath Keepers wore a Descendents’ shirt. Jason Van Tatenhove resembled as if alt-right leader,  Proud Boy, and Vice co-founder, Gavin McInnes was a weird dork.
A comical band shirt downplays white supremest violence.
The Descendents aren’t scary. The Descendents are silly, naive fun.
The Descendants denounced the Oath Keepers after Jason Van Tatenhove’s public appearance in front of Liz Chaney, Jamie Raskin, Adam Kinzinger and Ben Thompson:
