Well, which is it:

  • The Descendents, or
  • The Descendants?
Probably The Descendents (that's what it says throughout the article). I'll look it up when I'm done here and fix it if necessary. - Hephaestos 19:19 23 Jun 2003 (UTC)

It is Descendents. See ALL central for a brief history. --Vern 7 July 2005 13:16 (UTC)

So if the name of the band is just "Descendents"... then why not move this page there? Or "Descendents (band)" if need be? --Blue Dream 20:47, August 20, 2005 (UTC)

Did you look at the All central Descendents link? Both 'the Descendents' and 'Descendents' (no the) are referred to there. I think in the original context Vern was saying it is (The) Descendents rather than ..ants. The article referenced doesn't really clear things up though, as I said. mat_x 21:41, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Ah, my mistake. --Blue Dream 01:44, August 21, 2005 (UTC)

The official title in DESCENDENTS somtims there is a THE

[edit] There is no The in Descendents.

Take out the The. Just because the linked article on the All page sometimes refers to them as the Descendents (*note the lower case the, that means its not part of the name it's just there for syntax's sake). The Descendents (*note the the is capitalized because it came at the beginning of the sentence) have never been a The band. Take a look at any recording, merchandise, or flyer and you will always see just DESCENDENTS. Descendents are not a The band. The The and a million other The bands are. --Redleaf 03:40, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

You mean like The Ramones? Adding the to the title of punk certian bands is implicate while not stated. 69.164.100.92 09:48, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pop punk

As of a discussion and vote concerning about this issue, it has been decided that "pop punk revival" is a neologism (specific to wikipedia), similarly, "punk-pop" is a term which is more or less a neologism (specific to the music industry, public relation firms, and especially All Music Guide. These terms are referring to the style known as pop punk. In the case of the Descendents they may actually be one of the first pop punk bands. Of course they are also considered hardcore and college rock/indie kinda fit the bill too. Xsxex 19:51, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] References

Although I do feel this article is pretty good, I think it's important to add references, because some of the sentences (Like the last sentence in the introduction) really seem like POV, even though I actually agree with them. We've gotta do a better job here.
