Please explain to me why people love this band. I've never gotten into them. Is it because they were around so briefly? I see kids with their patches all the time, meanwhile these kids were in diapers when they existed. I just want to know.
I got into punk when I was 15- little knowledge of punk myself. First bands I got into were Pennywise & H20.
Operation Ivy grew on me, I knew nothing about them. I liked the music, bought the album and I am a fan.
I do know the band is pre-rancid w/Matt Freeman & Lint (whom we now call Mr. Armstrong) and it was just a cool punk band with cool tunes.
Thats how I see it.
I've never heard Op Ivy... Am I missing anything?

Your husband would so bitch slap you right now if he knew what you posting!!!!
Their music is great, what else is there to know?
I've been listening to punk since i was around 12 and up, maybe even before then. i didn't know the bands but i knew the music. That's the only thing i am actually grateful for in regards to my Brothers, they got me into the music that i listen to now.
And it kinda aggravates me that just because i was in diapers when the were prominant means that i can't dig them now. God only knows how many bands i wouldn't be listening to if that were the case.
