I just find they’re overplayed, overrated, and kind of cringey.
Ska is one of my go to genres, a favorite, but I wish Sublime would go away. Every time I hear them I can’t get their songs out of my head for much longer than I would like. Every time.
I also used to hear them way too much in a place outside the US, which outside of shitty pop music was one of those “American” bands or whatever they thought, so bars played them. A lot.
I play bass and it’s fun to play Sublime. Over rated for sure, but you always have to play shitty music in bars if you’re playing covers because that’s what you get paid for. I also don’t like 311, but people love that shit and it’s fun to play. I agree that neither are pleasant to my ear holes.
