I enjoyed their first few CDs...every time I hear them now it reminds me of my high school days.  I bet I've heard Self Esteem a thousand times...

I was a fan up to Ixnay. After that I just kinda lost interest, moved on to other bands, but I still love their older songs

Crossroads is my favorite all time track from them

Old school Offspring...great band...new stuff...meh

They didn't fall as far as Blink-182 but the new stuff is still pretty bad.

I remember buying the "Smash" album when I was about 13 years old.  Still one of my favorites.  I really like how they can have some goofy songs and some serious songs on the same album.
I've always liked their sound.

I like their first album and Ignition. Their stuff got corny as fuck after a while though (eg Pretty Fly for a White Guy , Original Prankster )

Offspring is alright, but I do enjoy Dexter Holland's hot sauce.  Gringo Bandito.

"I hope you enjoy the adventurous flavor and tingling tantalization of my not-so-famous pepper sauce. For over two years I have searched far and wide for the perfect combination of spices to make your next dining experience a zinger. And I tried to make it easy on the pooper, too. Try it on tacos, burritos, eggs, pizza - it's like a party in your mouth. I personally guarantee it."- Dexter Holland

This ... I thought they were kind of a semi jokey band at first until they released Gone Away....love that tune. I picked up "Ixnay..." after this and loved it.

He was going for one, but I thought I had heard that he didn't bother finishing.

Great band!

ETA: According to Wiki, he dropped out for a while but is back pursuing it again:



Holland then attended the University of Southern California, where he earned a B.S. in Biology and a M.S. in Molecular Biology and commenced a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology. After the success of The Offspring, he suspended his candidature to focus on music. Holland has said that, at 40 years of age, he would rather be a professor at a university than playing music.

As of 2013, Holland is a doctoral student at the Laboratory of Viral Oncology and Proteomics Research, Keck School of Medicine, where he supervised by Professor Suraiya Rasheed. In March 2013, Holland and co-authors published a paper in PLoS One regarding microRNA in HIV genomes, titled "Identification of Human MicroRNA-Like Sequences Embedded within the Protein-Encoding Genes of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus". The original research paper describes the use of computational molecular biological (in silico) approaches to identify microRNA-like sequences in HIV. These sequences are suggested to have evolved to self-regulate survival of the virus in the host by evading its immune responses and thus influence the persistence, replication, and pathogenicity of HIV.

Pretty sure I've sung a couple of their songs on stage.



I can't remember for the life of me which ones.

Drivers are rude
Such attitudes
But when I show my piece
Complaints cease
Something's odd
I feel like I'm God
You stupid dumbshit
God damn mother fucker

Also, if you like the Offspring, you should love this old classic:
