i jammed the shit out of this band back then. they had a corny white dude with braids and a guitar player named "noodles". yuck. i bought "smash" when it came out and yanked "ignite" from a friend, jamming both pretty consistently and then just putting it down and not really ever listening to either of them again. i dont think i voluntarily listened to the offspring past 1995. everyone else i knew was into this band too. looking back and hearing these songs, they're all pretty lame. i dont know why i dug it so much then. i'm sure this is the same as green day where someone can chime in on how this used to be a "legit" band. if you're that dude, you're a fucking dork. by the time that "americana" album came out, they were pretty much the worst band ever. the video progression is awesome, by the way. watch the evolution of "punk" in progress.

man, way to "explain away" your music tastes as a kid because they're no longer perceived as cool. just be ok with what you used to listen to, dude. it's ok. really.
Before Offspring were on MTV they used to be a lot better. I found out about them through watching some of the skate videos put out by vision and gullwing. Ignition was a pretty decent record and there were some ok songs on Smash that weren't out on MTV. They used to sound more like early TSOL.
