![BOWKYLION - เจ้านายคะ (work-life imbalance) [Official MV]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/6bFj8G2pOi4/mqdefault.jpg)
Written 25 years ago, and now more relevant than ever
This man is smart. He thinks first, then speaks, intelligence. He is listening carefully and absorbing. This is the first reaction video I have seen from him. I found this because I am a lifelong NOFX fan. I will for sure be watching more reactions from this man!
This is one of the best punk rock songs ever written. Thank you for reacting and listening so honestly and with all your attention.
My rule is I will always sub for someone reacting to The Decline.
This is the most important song of our time. Thats why they made a symphony of it.
The decline is as long as every other punk song combined 😂
It's actually 8 songs wearing one trench-coat
Like turning the pages of a book. Probably the most apt description of this song I’ve ever heard and for that, we thank you.
Spot on 👍
Oh wow, a reaction to The Decline.. Much respect. Subbed. Very few reaction channels will touch this song because of the length.
Yup , pronounced. " no effects " nailed it on the first shot .
this song is a masterpiece..
Love your reactions. They are real and I can tell you are actually listening and not just bopping your head out of time or shouting "yo this is fire" 3 seconds in. Thanks buddy from the 🇬🇧
I appreciate that
1999 and here we are in 2023 and this song gets more relevant every year, how fucked up are we as a species
Dude, you paid attention and got the message. Good on you man, great reaction. I always tell people what an amazing song this is, but rarely do people take the time.
I appreciate that
I really dig how you reviewed this during the song in real time. Fantastic because it's honest.
I really appreciate your approach to song reactions. It's obvious you are listening deeply, and your comments are always thoughtful as well. I also like your brief comments during this clip in particular. Thanks.
I appreciate that
Thanks for reviewing this. I first listened to it in 99/00 before starting high school. It has remained timeless, relevant, and still one of the best songs I've ever heard.
My man pronounced it perfectly!
it’s really nice to see someone unfamiliar with this era of punk rock music delving into the work of bad religion and nofx. the band Propagandhi has in depth lyrical content that ought to win poetry awards. the songs “cut into the earth” “supporting caste” “fixed frequencies” and “mate ka ukun rasik an” would be great songs to do a video on.
The Decline is absolutely one of the greatest and most important songs ever written imo, and still so scarily relevant to this day. It still gives me chills the whole time listening. You should definitely check out the full orchestra version as well, it's incredible!
Got a link for me bro?
I'm on mobile so not sure if I can post an actual link but this is the full title of the video. Hope that helps!
NOFX - The Decline Live at Red Rocks w/ Baz's Orchestra (Official Video)

Just watched your reaction. You killed it!!! And you pronounced their name correctly. (No-F-X) (No Effects)
@@stbbeyond7087 Here is a link the the live version done with Baz's Orchestra. Really awesome version. th-cam.com/video/oWhy8PCuGsk/w-d-xo.html
I agree with the guy who requested this to you and would like to hang out with him lol. Play this in a bar and look up and see everyone there bobbing their heads at one point or another.
My favorite part at the end with the horns, its a literal swan song for us
Much respect for giving this song the time.
Oh boy what a good reaction and you are sharp dude! Keep it going!
Man... You seem like such a fantastic human. This is the first reaction I've seen of yours so far and you just have this... glowing wisdom.
Thanks for doing this! It's been one of my favorite songs for decades.
It's crazy that this song is over 20 years old and honestly the only change I'm aware of are the marijuana laws in Michigan and California, where it's recreationally legal now.
Welcome aboard!
I really appreciated the way you listened.
Thank you
he nailed it at the end when he said "oh man what a song"
That Bass! Mmmmmmmmmmmmm🤬🤘yes
Incredible song.
Hell yeah.
Stumbled on this channel and always like to see some one who has never heard NOFX get introduced to this song. AS its been said many times, this song is absolute gold, Fat mike is a lyrical genius.
All these years later and the lyrics are still relevant. The song "Lori Meyers" is very short but its a lyrical masterpiece too and even though its so short its a bit of a roller coaster.
And yes, you pronounced it right, its pronounced like No Effects.
Really enjoyed seeing you react to this. As some one who grew up loving punk, I understand that much of it is pretty shitty but its the energy, the lyrics and the feeling of understanding that most of us love about punk but it can be hard to try and explain to people that there really are truly talented musicians in punk and if people can get past the loud guitars and drums and listen to the music for what it is, they would be pleasantly surprised.
Also, this is a controversial take but the older I get the less I tend to believe 1 million are smarter then 1. The madness of crowds is a real thing and its easy to loose sight of reason in crowds. There is a lot of nuance to that comment tho.
I have not watched the reaction yet....and am giving a thumbs up.
he pronounces the name right off the top = subbed
Very nice reaction video 👍👍
You want insightful, check out 'Crass - Big A, Little A, Bouncing B' (with lyrics)
I really liked your reaction on this song. I think it's difficult to realize the structure of the song, although I think you were spon on calling it chapters that all describe pieces that make the decline of society. Thank you for sharing your experience, I really like the song!
Thank you for the reaction. What a journey!
Absolute boss for doing this.
Wish someone would react to a theme from a nofx album. just such a great song
Critical observation with nofx solutions
Great reaction sir
Hey man, just subbed. Loved your reaction and analysis of this song. It’s amazing how many topics they touched upon that all affect one another. Also props on the editing, the time-lapses you included behind the green screen were mesmerizing. Was wondering if I could make a song reaction suggestion. It’s called “My Confession” by Otep. Listened to the band all though high school, and their music got me through some dark times, but I didn’t find this particular song until about 2 months ago when I needed it most. Feeling trapped in other peoples’ decisions and not being allowed to make my own, I believe that I didn’t find the song, but it found me. Music, messages, concepts; they seem to find us when we we least expect it and need them most. The song starts off incredibly depressing, but I find it empowering, especially with its final message. Also, it is pronounced “No Effects” haha, thank you for the video 🤘🤘
Song is well over 20 years old and just as relevant today, if not more so.
That line about a dime being worth more in Detroit hits home. I grew up there and decided to get out because my heart and head were getting way too old and degraded for how young I was. I could see my whole future there and it wasn't one I wanted. When I got out I was shocked at how much it costs to live everywhere else. This is not a country for nomads and artists. You need some kind of monetary strategy or you just get constantly kicked in the teeth.
always down for some NOFX
Breach - It's me god
yo love the NOFX reaction and good song to pick
Subhumans "Cradle To The Grave" is equally amazing and 20 years older. Not downplaying this song. I Heard it when it dropped. It's wonderful
"You could make a healthy profit... Or maybe, tear it apart"
That line hits SO HARD in the era of Trumpism, don't it?!
If you dug this, check out some Lagwagon.
Btw, this song was made long before Trump entered the throne;) What they made after is so much more graphical ;)
Not gonna lie. Definitely one of the songs that have kept me going over the years. Just that little niggling idea that, "Yeah, somebody else gets how I feel it's all just a downhill slide into ruin." And no, I'm not saying that like the one asshole who desperately wants everyone else to "Get It". I say it like the lonely asshole who keeps hearing things in the back of his mind, like it's all worth nothing, and just has no answers to how to solve the great mess; the lonely asshole that's just very scared and confused and powerless and wants to roll over in bed and hope that it all goes away in the morning, even though it won't.
That's the lonely asshole that _I_ am.
Punk Rock is one of the most incredible genres of all time. You'll find some of the dumbest songs ever written, right alongside some of the most astonishingly intelligent and insightful.
Nice intro music, btw
Dude I watch you every now and then but if you’re dipping your toes into the punk scene I’ll definitely need to check in on your channel more often.
NoFX are the clown kings of punk. You should check out “Dinosaurs With Die” and “Monosyllabic Girl”
I’ll also encourage you to listen to Bad Religion “I Want To Conquer The World” and “Do What You Want”
Now watch Red Rocks live…🥸👍
My favorite song and least favorite at the same time. Truth hurts
That Guy have no ears lolllll
Are a million people smarter than one? I have my money on Einstein, and Degrass-Tyson against billions!!!!
Diving into punk now are you? Welcome! Lots of great music in here, and a lot of misconceptions about it. NOFX is great but I personally don't really like The Decline that much. I like the sarcastic humor side of NOFX. One of my favorite line of all time comes from one of their song, "How did the cat get so fat" (talking about the government). Now have you done The Clash? You have to do The Clash!
Perfect Government is an amazing song, it's not their song though 😌
@@MightyMelvo Yeah I know... They make it their own in my eyes, and Mike is pretty witty, could have been his words. But you're right.
❤ no fx and thanks brhro
