About this book

This collection of scholarly essays analyzes how NOFX's aesthetics of punk provocation and discomfort provokes the band's listeners to confront contradictions and conflicts in society concerning politics, identity, authenticity, and decorum. This collection of scholarly essays analyzes how NOFX's aesthetics of punk provocation and discomfort push the band's listeners to confront contradictions and conflicts in society concerning politics, identity, authenticity, and decorum. For forty years, NOFX's brand of witty, offensive, humorous, juvenile, intelligent, existential, political, politically incorrect, and/or philosophically probing punk has reared several generations in punk attitude and ethos, for better or worse. The band pioneered melodic yet hardcore So-Cal punk style, rode the wave of mainstream punk popularity in the 1990s, protested the Bush administration in the 2000s, and continued their punk provocations up through their retirement in 2024. This book explores how NOFX pursued punk's proclivity for provocation to critique both mainstream society and the punk scene itself, how their music challenges notions of punk as simplistic, stripped-down rock requiring little musical skill, and other topics with thirteen essays from scholars in a variety of fields.
