The Descendents' noisy punk echoed up and down the West Coast and beyond—and touched just about substrain of the genre. Their melodic structures are alive in everything from Waaves' and FIDLAR's scrappy indie pop to Fall Out Boy's and Blink-182's pop-punk. Their rockier experiments can be heard in the post-hardcore epics of My Chemical Romance. And from the start, Green Day, NOFX, and The Offspring all took notes on the L.A. band's penchant for hyperspeed drums and cynical sneers.
