They've toured for 40 years, sold 8 million records and have over a million monthly listeners on Spotify. The singer's label has put out many of the big punk bands for the last 30 years. I agree with your point, but this lot are fine.

They are indeed “doing just fine” which I am sure is what you must have been referencing — from one of their most famous songs:

  Buy me a Becks beer
    or pass me the bong
  Gimme some Bushmills
    I'll sing you this song
  Open another
    big box of cheap wine
  We're over 30
    we’re doing just fine
The last time I saw them live it was pushing 40 instead of over 30 and that was nearly a decade ago.
Hahaha, yeah, they're a fun band. I saw them (for the last time, I guess?!) a couple of weeks ago (and oddly in reference to the lyrics, I actually saw them tour Pump Up The Valuum as well). Mike is pushing 60 now!
