“Don’t like nothin’ and I like that fine!” I first heard this song when I was 10, Offspring were the first band I ever became obsessed with. Pretty sure the lyrics of Dexter Holland and the lyrics of this song in particular helped shape me into the man I am today.
Same actually, they absolutely had a hell of an influence on me. I used to love them to death and had all the albums up to Conspiracy of One, that was the last album I bought and listened to.
Last week I decided to listen to these old albums again and I was pleasantly surprised at how well it aged and how much I still enjoy them. I feel like I relate to them more (but differently) now than I did when I was a kid so it’s been a blast to revisit them.
I used to often listen to Ixnay on my morning walk to highschool, and it’s definitely one of my favourite Offspring albums. The Meaning of Life, Mota, Gone Away, I Choose, it’s just stock full of powerful songs.
