The Offspring playing "just the punk stuff" shows

The Offspring just announced a show for "just the punk stuff" playing their oldest albums and deep cuts. Personally I love their old stuff and think it holds up as the 90s skate punk before Pop Punk became overly commercialized and whiny. I'd love to see some other bands do this as well.

Also has to be said that I find it a bit funny though that one of the founders of what became that mainstream pop punk sound & style are using a marketing tactic by essentially stating that their music catalog isn't punk. Isn't that like one of the leaders of the "don't gatekeep punk" crowd saying "we werent playing punk that whole time"

Which Big East school has the worst relationship with the non school affiliated locals?

remove anyone who works at the school/alumni/students/incoming students/parents and just focus on locals. What schools have a great local relationship with the city/town what schools are perceived negatively?

I know Marquette's perception across greater Milwaukee is suburban Chicago kids playing city for 4yrs and a lot of locals don't really care for the school's presence & a lot of small WI town residents hate MU for literally no reason. I know Depaul's sitting on a gold mine of land that frustrates a lot of people in the city, and they've gotten perks that have really pissed off voters. That said, given how the city got behind Loyola for a few years ago, I'd imagine a good DePaul team would have the whole city behind them.

Do other Big East schools have similar local outreach issues?
