Why did this make my coworker uncomfortable?

We live in Sweden though. I get what you're saying and I appreciate the point. NOFX is a band located in the US though and sings about many dark political topics as punk bands do.
did this really happen or is it just something that went through your head pube boy
Lol!
It actually happened, I promise ✋
Edit: but as I said earlier, +10 years ago.
Uh, probably because this is the season for Xmas Has Been X'Ed. Kill all white people is an April 12th type thing?
Hmm, I'm very tempted m8. It was sick beat and I was feeling it but I'd have to read all of the lyrics to make sure there isn't anything offensive in it.
Edit: I can reimburse you with this sick ass beat that has gone through all the screening processes:

The Decline is one of my favorite songs of all time. It's absolutely timeless and describes our current global political climate to a T.
Playing Kill all the White Man out loud in an office is asking for trouble. Stop making posts just for the attention. You can't possibly be dumb enough to not understand why someone could have that reaction.

Nofx is cool and all but I keep my punk music to myself at work. Nobody wants to hear anyone's obscure deep cuts. Not saying NOFX is obscure but yeah, most people will just nope when they hear it
It wasn't in "an office" as most people seem to interpret, and absolutely not an open one. It was in a closed room of 5 tightly-knitted work mates.
Regardless, your post is BS. Even if it was just the two of you, you can't possibly be confused by someone reacting that way to Kill all the White Man. It's a song that is almost guaranteed to cause that reaction .
If you're going to deliberately make things awkward for your co-workers at least do it with good punk music
It was just the one. Everyone else knew the song. And the one dude didn't even get angry or anything, he just said "Wtf are the saying" and dropped it. Then we continued playing other music for the rest of the day. 🤷🏼♂️
Give me some tips my man.
Edit: I would like point out to you and to everyone that follows that I try to uphold some standards, so be respectful with your choice.
And yet you decided to make a thread about it?
What exactly is your point?
beastman beastman what do you know about taking off your clothes
He was confused mostly. It was a unheard and new topic for him. Again, even though he'd heard the song about 4 times earlier and ska/punk wasn't anything new.
It was funny, I thought. Now I'm working damage control mostly looking at the respones, lol. It's fine with me though. Still don't think I did anything wrong.
Here is my entire life experience with NOFX.
I was at a sandwich shop with a friend.
Friend: Have you ever heard of NOFX?
Me: Yeah, they were popular when I was in high school.
Guy making sandwich: Uhh, they're STILL popular.
I will never forget this interaction.

Yeah, one other person said that earlier in the thread as well. But no one seems able to supply better alternatives for punk. But they like talk down other peoples tastes though.
Edit: As another one ☝ above me here.
Share some of your best punk with me, I'll gladly listen to it.
I mean you do you, but that kind of bouncy, major-y pop punk has never really done it for me. You could always go with Dead Kennedys, Reagan Youth, Circle Jerks for some bands with some comparable themes but are more gnarly/raw. Or IDLES, to name a modern band
If you just wanted people to talk about the song, you should have just made a "What do you guys think about this song?" thread
This happened 10 years ago? And you are still thinking about it? What in the world man.
Why didn't you make a thread about recommending music then? Instead of some weird ass story from ten years ago.
Anyway, IDLES, as the above poster mentioned. Titus Andronicus as well (The Monitor is one of the best album of the 2000s, I won't hear anything to the contrary)
Hey, I like raw punk very much as well. I especially like voices that ain't "up to scratch"and sound rough as well.
As for why I made this thread.. Well, yeeah. It was funny for me at the time. And it did happen, but I should've known that working conditions are very different in say the US.
It just popped into my head. You know like memories? *POP* Ahh, there it is. That happened before. I remember it so clearly. Such a silly time that was.
Because it was funny for me at the moment. But does it matter now? Here we are talking. The same as if I'd have made another thread.
