If such a genre exists, \"progressive punk\" would be the best way to describe the single, 18-plus-minute track that makes up this EP. There are drastic lyrical shifts in THE DECLINE. Cynical tongue-in-cheek prose gives way to warnings concerning the glorification of violence. What follows is a diatribe covering the hypocrisy of the judicial system, the mind-numbing effects of television, and the loss of integrity. The conceptual thread that seems to connect it all is a general apathy in the collective consciousness of America, as Fat Mike sings, \"The going gets tough \/ the tough get debt \/ don't pay attention \/ pay the rent \/ our next of kins pays for your sins.\" NOFX has delivered its rallying cry for independent thought, and it is THE DECLINE.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52544585171231,"sku":"751097060513","price":33.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/67493ac4820b6e8e42c93ffec881306d.jpg?v=1782646386","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/decline","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
