And all of those days working at the Putt-Putt in high school with the Crazy Taxi soundtrack blaring constantly.

Came here to say this. I was exposed to the Offspring way before this song (as were most of us), but it revived my interest in them.

So glad I'm not the only one with this memory! I can't believe I used to intentionally give myself anxiety with that game šŸ˜‚ That being said, I loved it and wish I could play it with my kids!

This probably the first time I’ve ever actually seen this video. Offspring didn’t get a lot of play time on MTV at this point.Ā

Awesome awesome song. I really think The Offspring is the difference between a Xennial and a GenX. Ignition album - Kick him when he's down.... At a concert. People bumping, cramming... Shove my way to the front. Get to the rails. Wait.. Somebody threw a shoe. Security distracted. Make my move. Leap on the rail, jump to the stage. Two fists up, don't wait long. Running super man dive, caught by 100 hands. I'm ready to do it again. Unfortunately, I think the crowd would part like the red sea now.

Smash was the first album I ever bought for myself, it was on cassette, and I listened to it on repeat for months. I was a little disappointed in Ixnay by comparison, just because Smash was and still is a no-skip album for me, but I still loved it.

Back when every music video could be filmed running around LA with a camcorder OR in a studio built to look like a space ship. There is no in-between.

Why is Bad Religion getting downvoted?
View on Reddit #60111005

maximumtesticle@reddit

Because it's dumb to compare bands? You can like both, one doesn't have to be "better".
View on Reddit #60112499

AwwwMangos@reddit

I like Offspring too, particularly their early stuff. And it’s fine to have a preference of one band over another. I love all these old Epitaph bands and appreciate their influence on one another. This song [ā€œAll I Wantā€ was originally written by Dexter Holland to be a Bad Religion song called ā€œProtocolā€.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_I_Want_(The_Offspring_song)) but wasn’t well received by (BR guitarist and Epitaph founder)Brett Gurewitz so Dexter Holland kept it and rewrote it for his own band.

eat_like_snake@reddit

Sure, but having preferences doesn't really contribute anything to the discussion. Nothing stops people from posting threads about their preferred bands.

Dunno, obviously Offspring has ended up being the more popular band commercially, but if not for BR and Epitaph Records the whole 80s/90s punk revival may have never happened.

I remember going to a music festival in Montreal Like a decade or so ago. Offspring played only the Smash album, and it was aaaaamazing. A lot of the younger crowd seemed confused lol.

Oh man, The Offspring. They popped up in my YouTube feed once then I played them all afternoon. I still remember when they were playing Bad Habit at a music awards show (MTV Awards, I think and I was wondering what the station was going to do with ā€œthat lineā€, and then I saw that the station just blanked out the entire line rather than individual words.

Mine is "I'll be a Long Time" off *Smash*. That was the first punk song I heard that actually gave me authentic punk type feelings. Up to that point it was just fun pop. Corny, I know. But I was 12, so... No gods no masters workers of the world unite and occupy wall street etc
