  1. Why Don't You Get A Job is more annoying than Pretty Fly, there I said it. Let's also be real..Offspring did have some good melodies. Therefore, Foo Fighters is still slightly more cringe post-first album launch of being wannabes.

  3. Wait, this Noodles guy was new in 2018? I thought he was always around.
  4. They always say that though. You can only give someone so much chances sometimes and then when they’re dropped they run and say all that to cope. But I’m not saying it never happens. I have no knowledge of Offspring inner workings at all.
  5. A lot of the time there’s two sides to the story.. but people don’t like to kick someone when they’re down (kicked out) and just cut their losses and deal with the potential backlash until it passes. Or they are truly POSs and just wanted more money that they’ll get on tour without him?
  6. Kay liking Offspring wasn’t on my bingo card.
  7. Well yeah, this was before they tetered over. Most people objectively liked Smash. It’s everything after that feels like forced studio gangster bullshit. I never even realized this. The whole song is a bit of a rip off now that I think about it. Verses slow down the same too.. hmm. Plus they were trying to be kind of grunge at that time. Hmm..
  8. Self Esteem and Come Out And Play were on the radio every day and got everyone to buy Smash. Americana/Conspiracy of One/Splinter was their carried on success & prime days with a much more Pop Punk focus. Then they had a Greatest Hits album with some Can't Repeat song that somehow got a little steam and kept them relevant again. Then they got washed up and cringey and that was it. That was their career. They deserve a spot but they suck now. Like most bands trajectory.
  9. I think I gotta still stick with this! Good job 2021 Jan!
  10. We should definitely do a b182online live stream/watch party of the SW Sequels and see how long before fights break out and then shrooms halfway through TLJ.
  11. Yeah, confession. I did start laughing uncontrollably/crying staring at my dog and simultaneously thinking I figured out dog's psychology. I also started eating his tennis ball. So yeah I'm a lightweight. I just had some shroom salsa, and the person I was with had 5 times the dose and was fine thought I was crazy. So I know exactly what that person was thinking. I drank from the bowl for a second until I got interviened. @Meltdown TrackerI meant more the after effects. It inspires you to think deeper/more openly (for myself). But for a couple of close friends I had, they went off the deep end with it a bit and are impossible to deal with. I'm sure it was not solely shrooms, but it was really coincidental, but also could have been adderall that made them so stubborn and argumentative all the time now.
  12. It's got to be flattering being old as dirt though and dropping one single album after skipping a full decade of doing anything together and having that kind of pull though.
  13. I'll jump in on this too. I know people who mushroomed themselves to full disconnect from anything that is level-headed thinking and can hardly converse with them anymore. It's sad. All they do is argue with everyone, everything and think they have it all figured out now. I also know fine young people, like myself, who have just had some good experiences opening their mind up more and thinking deeper about stuff and moved on with those experiences, for the better. Mushrooms are cool in doses. Like pre-mushrooms I may have pretended Offspring were good and not let go of that childhood nostalgia. But new me, post-mushrooms understands how short and fragile life is and how much I don't want to waste any moment thinking they aren't cringe and irritating as hell and move forward.
  14. Prequels had heart. Even if they were childish, they had the lucas magic deep in there still. Also sweet saber battles and performances by Obi Wan, Quigon, Mace, etc etc. They're okay. Sequels are an abomination and disrespectful.
  15. Force Awakens was worse. Sue me. Biggest disappointing full on rehash of New Hope and worst lightsaber duels of all eras (while being the newest). TLJ tried to do something new which I respect, even if it was garbage. ROTS was so bad it was good. Palpatine grandaddy dicking ftw!
  16. I just noticed it rolled right into Pretty Fly For a White Guy for you. Perfect.
  17. I found it. Dear God cringe. "I raise your hell yeah with a fuck yeah dex!" Nightmare fuel. Imagine thinking this is cool.
  18. I can't tell you how painful it was watching them up close. They had a segment where guy on the right and lead singer (I don't remember names) did a "Fuck" segment. Where they saw how many times they could say 'Fuck' in 1 minute. It it was just those two laughing and yelling fuck over and over it was so bad you had to be there. If they leaned into being cringey dads or were more self aware or w.e like Mark & Tom at least try to be, it'd be a tad better, but they actually think they're a cool relevant band anyone besides Diddy cares about.
  19. I just found out yesterday that Slipknot was rich too. Like private schools, rich families in Iowa. Kind of made me laugh a bit.
  20. So are you just splitting Offspring and Sum for their spot? I hate to say it, but Neck Deep and Simple Plan or Yellowcard tease the spot too..they were/are so pop punk, but obviously have their issues for being there. Offspring was born as a non-pop punk band though..like more so than blink or anyone. And then they just repeated themselves and got lame as hell..but they did have a long stretch. Sum 41 tried to do the metal thing so much..and were short primes imo too. Those killer no filler days were massive though at that time. It's tough.
  21. I get that, but they are sort of that dark horse. They stayed more true to the genre than blink or green day, but never got as big. I think they get on that Mt. just because of it. All the other options were too short of primes.
