Never trust someone that doesn’t like at least one of the offsprings songs
There just a sucker with no self esteem
@Marnie Culotta this and bad habit always gets the blood moving
are you really asuming that theres someone who doesnt like any song by them?
M
It doesn’t even sound possible to not listen to them. They’re going places.
This song caused my divorce 20 years ago.
Best thing that ever happened to me.
When she asked for alimony did ya tell her “why dont you get a job”?
@Alexander Ball it was written in the early 90s
Great day 👍
Sometimes I think this song smells even more like teen spirit than that other one.
@Vinny V West Coast
@Jarret Heller all in a heart shaped box!
Not a chance
I see this is as more like young adult spirit
The comparison is there, but the two bands are worlds apart. One is the real deal and the other is a generic rip off…nothing against The Offspring, I like The Offspring in their early years when I was a preteen…until they sold out to radio-friendly bullshit. But yeah…WORLDS APART from each other, fact..not opinion.
I’m 51 and still have no self esteem. I love this song
56 and it’s still not a phase
70 in October and I still have no self esteem.
The more you suffer, the more it shows you really care, right? Yeah!
@John Flynn Hy man!

There’s something about this era of music that just can’t be replicated no matter how hard people try. I’m always going to be thankful that I was able to grow up as a kid listening to music that had heart and soul written in it. I’ll miss those days…
90’s music is so raw and emotional I love it
Me too
@Judge Jeanine The Alcoholic I am not trying to put you down or anything, lots of people resonate with what you’re saying. But the fact is, you are likely fully unaware of most of what’s popular now. If you’re listening to the radio, you have no idea what’s actually popular. Lots of good bands, and cool new music with plenty of heart and soul. It may sound different than when we were teenagers, but the heart and soul absolutely remains. Check out Turnstile for one example of the new bands that sonically resemble what we came up with in this genre. Also, Idles is a badass UK punk band that’s really popular right now.
So true. Born in 85
@thesnoopmeister Snoops nice quote
I just saw these guys last night and they sounded phenominal. Still rocking in 2021. They opened up with this song and it was a BANGER!!!
@onlyone23km Of course they are, I was at that concert too.
@Crow {Nefarious} this song should’ve been on the Batman Forever soundtrack.
How cool.
That’s dope!
They are playing in Australia in December tickets already sold out… if I can find one for sale I defs want to go!!!
This is part of my soundtrack for my mental health & physical crisis.
I am going to the hospital in a few but this song makes me feel better
Are you still alive
The nineties… an era of songs about toxic relationships and self-hate and hating everything and everyone … and we still wonder, why we feel so miserable today? I grew up with songs like this, loved Pantera, Soundgarden, Faith no more, Fugazi and the like…We had everything we needed, like money and cool clothes and skateboards and whatever but we still were angry about everything, like a dark veil around us, we couldn’t see, but we felt it. The shadows of our parents past, the hurt that’s been going on for decades… time to heal brothers and sisters! ❤️ Great music though 😉
“The more you suffer The more it shows you really care Right?” that fucking line hit me hard
@MoodieBoyMusic I am 100% sure dexter had a borderline ex
I think we all been there brother
Jesus must of cared a lot..
@Stephen Salazar He always did.
Yeaaaaaaaaah
As a person with no self esteem, I can confirm that this song is indeed great
Worst thing when you have a soft spot for a person like that
I was born in ’83. Loved this song soon as it came out. Little did I know how many times I would personally live out this storyline. Listening to it again when it was in my twenties, I kicked my 13 year old self for not paying attention.
Such an epic song. I love blasting it and singing it to the top of my lungs.
Long live The offspring!!!
Just found the vinyl for this album the other day. This album is still every bit as good as the first time I played it back in 94, even the lyrics are mostly no longer relatable lol.
love your name
“The more you suffer, the more it shows you really care.” – I did understand this even as a young man but I guess that now at the age of 40 I even feel it, not just understand.
Im 15 but what does it mean?
@ronninava I think he is talking to him self, since he cant say no, so he lives with the pain, and feel she says (Maybe she did say that) that the more he suffer, the more it shows he really care. She properly just a typically narcissist.
It’s him speaking to himself, its his way of talking himself into staying in this toxic relationship
The Offspring will never get old.
I absolutely love The Offspring and this song in particular. One of the things you will notice about this band is all of their lyrics are audibly understandable. Very clear vocals and you don’t get the words wrong.
Read Dexter’s curriculum, and you will understand why he can speak and spell properly.
As opposed to Come Out And Play, which is right near impossible to understand.
@Devil’s Offspring yeah I remember that had a learning curve. I would listen to each line individually and Rewind it until I got the words right.
@Dismal Project I could never make asses or teakettles of Come Out And Play until I read the lyrics. Could never understand jack in that song. I have good hearing and a good stereo.
Possibly one of the greatest rock songs of all-time. The vocals, the chugging bass, the guitar riffs, moshing drums…..the key changes. Incredible.
Not only is this man an absolutely amazing songwriter and artist, the creative brain behind offspring, but he’s an acutal phd in molecular biology.. I guess you could say he’s pretty talented lol
Hmmm….I simply have to present – Quake 3 ex pro player – CZM – are in fact math. professor – with his affinity / skill for mathematics he came up with formula to calculate some values for Q3 configuration – which in fact is a text file containing loads of command lines for all possible tweaks & fixes. Aside from CZM there are others – Fatality, Cooler, Toxic, Cypher, Zero4, Rapha etc. – not sure about their academics, though all are leading what’s generally is understood as “Successful Life”.
Hmm…Pretty fly for a white guy. 😜 #dadjoke
I woke up today with this song in my head but couldn’t remember the name.
Thankfully i remembered the band🤟
Great music and new album as well! One of Joey Ramone’s favorite all time punk bands too.
