Descendents: I Don't Want To Grow Up

I Don’t Want To Grow Up, the landmark second album from legendary punk pioneers Descendents, out everywhere on November 21, 2025. The reissue will be available across formats—LP, CD, and cassette—alongside a special Punk Note LP edition featuring alternate packaging.

Coming just on the heels of Milo Goes To College, this new edition brings fresh attention to one of the band’s most beloved albums—arriving just in time for its 40th anniversary. It marked the first of two albums to feature guitarist Ray Cooper. With brighter melodies and sharper hooks than its predecessor, the record helped the band avoid the dreaded sophomore slump while cementing their status as one of punk’s most influential voices.

This release, as well as the studio albums to follow, will be receiving the "Punk Note" treatment, which began with our Bad Brains reissue series. Featuring alternate packaging by John Yates (Stealworks), the designs are inspired by the iconic work of Reid Miles and Francis Wolff that helped define the Blue Note jazz label. Each "Punk Note" title includes new liner notes by BrooklynVegan senior editor Andrew Sacher and is housed in a deluxe case-wrapped jacket.
