Nosferatu Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 Offspring were definitely huge. I remember them on the radio and on TV music channels all the time from around 99-02. Probably bigger than Green Day at the time actually. I was only 1 year old when Smash came out so I can't comment on how huge they was back then. But Conspiracy of One was a damn successful album too. Want You Bad was on TV all the time. Pretty Fly For a White Guy from the Americana album was huge and still is, like blink with ATSM. I remember Original Prankster being on TV all the time too. Why Don't You Get a Job was also a pretty famous song. Never understood how the song You're Gonna Go Far Kid is considered successful and popular though. I can't remember the music video being aired on TV or that song being on the radio. Yet somehow it's one of their most overplayed songs. Most played song of theirs on Spotify too. Like how? I can't even remember what that song actually songs like. Plus when people talk about the Offspring over here, nobody even knows of that song and the album it was on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say that you're starting to feel like you're getting lost Well, I do too I don't wanna live this lie again (I don't wanna live this lie again) I know I'll get it right but I don't know when I'll open my eyes, I've got something in side I'll just jack off in my room until then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Kyle_ Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 Offspring has sold about 35 million records. Not bad at all. The trifecta is Green Day, Blink, Offspring in terms of sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah their album sales are incredible that's what is interesting to me haha, they can definitely make the claim that they're part of a pop punk royal trifecta but it just felt like they were in some other realm of music for some reason. I definitely never knew any big Offspring fans or grew up with any bands who were influenced by them. We were all obsessed with Blink, Green Day, Rancid, shit even Goldfinger "felt" more popular in my little music world at that time haha the Offspring just wasn't on the radar for some reason, maybe it was just my city, who knows! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean. Dexter Holland is nowhere as influential as say Billie Joe, Tim Armstrong, or Tom Delonge. I never knew anybody who was a geek about them either. They just had hits and decent longevity. Also the 90s was the goldmine to break big in music and actually sell records. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedo Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 I got a friend who's a big Offspring fan, he's almost 50 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patient #48273 Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 The only person I knew growing up who was crazy about the Offspring was my friend's 4-year-old brother who loved Pretty Fly (For a White Guy). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Kyle_ Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 I got Americana for Christmas in 98 and I'm pretty sure I listened to Pretty Fly 100 times that week. My friend and I would just have it on repeat for hours on a boom box while we played playstation. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBS is a bit whiny in their early years but fantastic albums as they grew and way more unique than the likes of Sum Edgy-1. https://youtu.be/9iTVs3wemEY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBS aged well though, I definitely don't consider them emo any more. I definitely consider them emo.

thongrider Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 Offspring is by far the most popular punk band here. I think Norway was the country they were most successful in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, Dave Mathews Band, and in terms of talent/longetivy/success/story, you could make an argument for the U.S. at least. They're not my favorite or anything but @_Kyle_kept hyping them up so I looked into them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were definitely emo/punk at inception, I'm pretty sure they were even pioneers of it, but as they aged they really evolved well. I wouldn't even consider them emo for last few records.

You're shitting on Sum 41 (hey, more power to ya) but going to bat for Dave Matthews Band? Ok, that's all I need to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
