Originally released in 1999, The Decline, marked a huge turning point for NOFX. Widely regarded as their magnum opus, the song is an 18-minute punk rock spectacle that showcases the showmanship, lyrical wit, and musicality of the best punk rock band of all time. Satirizing the state of America and skewering the indifferent masses & politicians alike, the song is eerily relevant in 2026 and continues to critique the powers that be in a way few artists have the courage to do. Combined with the Punk In Drublic B-Side, Clams Have Feelings Too, the 12"" is an essential release for any NOFX fan. NOFX has retired; their legacy lives forever. They remained completely independent for 40 years, never signed to a major and ended their career on their own terms. The band is currently the subject of their first comprehensive exhibit at the Punk Rock Museum in Las Vegas. Their documentary 40 Years of Fuckin Up will premiere at SXSW 2026 and be widely available in April (Score & soundtrack to features new NOFX music). The next volume in the A-Z trilogy I to Q is set for a late 2026 release.
