Oh my gosh, you won’t believe it! Wrong Way Kids is all about the early LA punk scene and growing up in it. Greg Graffin even said that the song is sentimental because it’s about how punk rockers feel like they’re part of this group of “wrong way kids” and guess what? Bad Religion was part of that group too!
But wait, it gets even cooler. The original plan for the music video was to have fans submit their old photos to use. They even made a special website for it. But guess what? They ended up not using any of those photos! Instead, they used old footage from live shows and interviews. How awesome is that?
And get this, the video was released about six months later on April 11, 2011, by Epitaph. It was directed by Nicole Vaskell. So cool!

I’ve been lurking on that site for over 20 years and if you’re into Bad Religion as much as I am, I’m sure you’re familiar. If you are not, go there right now and never come back to this site again. You should, and I totally understand.
