They do!!! Dividing by Zero, Army of One, The Noose, Trust in You, Turning into You and many other. The CD's after Americana are at the same level. If you don't listen to the songs they would played in Radio and if you listen to the other songs, then you know, Offspring is still the best band in the world
@@muppelgongu5042 not a single one of those songs you mention can hold a candle to this song...and also far from the best band in the world.. you can enjoy stuff without exagerating you know.
I love the offspring... that being said... this album is unlike ANYTHING else they've ever done in my opinion.... still hands down my favorite of all time
It was an indie album. I believe it still holds the record for the highest selling indie album of all time. This is what got them signed to Columbia, and it all went downhill from there
This is the album they made their selves without being told what to do by the big music industry jews. It happens to all bands usually, there are some outliers though. Seeing the dark side of the music industry is why A LOT of amazing artists with big hearts die before they're 30.
I miss the old way, smash is the album I listened to everyday after coming home from school. just plug in the ear phones and close my door. Damn I miss those days
This was the song I heard in my head as a kid when I got exhausted from trying to please the popular kids in middle school and decided to rebel against it all. The year was 1995.
This song ... means so much to me. It's helped me through so much tough times .. It just basically speaks to me ... That's how any one should act ... Do what you want ... whenever you want it .. To hell with what others think as long as you're having fun ... This is the only time you'll begin to feel alive .. Thanks so much for uploading this song ... The best song ever made :)
Was 13 when album came out and my parents had this in my stocking stuffer for Christmas, ran upstairs to put it on my system in my room and forgot about my other presents until later. Album changed my life!

Smash is my favorite punk-rock album ever, and this is the one of the best songs of all times as for me, always motivates me to live my way, enjoy life not depending on anything, and just feel alive. Actually in the original version of this song that lasts for 10 minutes in this album, you can hear 2 mini bonus tracks after this, especially cool from 9:00, in my opinion, if you suddenly didn’t know)
Ryan Murtha yeah me too!! -although my first offspring album was Americana and the kids aren't alright album picture made me curious af- but as I grew up, I realized what the lyrics meant and so....😏😏😌😌
Head over heals I've fit in before Now I don't wanna do it no more I've held it all in with blood on my face Built it up man so bad you can taste I don't slag no one I don't even judge Don't give a shit 'cause I'm not gonna budge I just want to be who I want to be Guess that's hard for others to see I'm not a trendy asshole I Do what I want I Do what I feel like I'm not a trendy asshole Don't give a fuck If it's good enough for you Cause I am alive Smash is the way you feel all alone Like an outcast you're out on your own Smash is the way you deal with your life Like an outcast you're smashing your strife Head over heels I've fit in before Now I don't want to do it no more I just want to be who I want to be Guess that's hard for others to see
There. I hope you enjoyed our time together today! You know it seems harder and harder to just sit back and enjoy the, finer things in life. Well, till next time. Ta ta. Que the Genocide/Change The World riff.
With every single song from Offspring i can relate, maybe because i grew up with my brother who was spamming their albums on repeat now im 34 and its so hard to find peoples listening such a good music and hang with them
That's the most real honest thing I've read in a comments section. People always hate when band grow and change but the reality is people grow and change :p
yeah they get kids and bills to pay. but the most honest thing is they sign a 3-record contract, and sometimes the unity/passion in the band is gone by the 3rd album since it's been 10 years. if you haven't been in a band (yet) then you wouldn't know.
@@nyahhbinghi I'm not sure the Offspring are worried about the whole "bills to pay and mouths to feed" thing, though. Only Dexter has a kid who's an adult now, and they're all multi-millionaires anyway.
Yeah,sorry,but they sold out They went from Smash(still the biggest selling independent label album by a long way) and Ixnay to more "radio friendly" music straight afterwards...if that's not selling out,then what is?
@@TheNZMuppet They were older and probably found more pop orientated songs enjoyable to listen to than their earlier punkrock work. I myself stopped playing punk in my youth and play a lot more classic pop like Bowie and find a well rounded song more enjoyable than something with one dimension.
The offspring still has terrific albums and songs after Smash imo, but they definetly never got that punk again. Their first three albums have a raw sound, speed and aggression we have only seen again on occasion, like Da Hui from Splinter to take an example.
Same here bro. We got MTV in rural Ireland in 1994 and Self Esteem would come on and it would blow my tiny mind every time. 26 years gone in an instant. Great time 😁
These guys had that kind of unexplained magic... Even the album cover is perfectly fitting - it bridged the gap between punk and indie. Makes me wonder why they don't come back... we want clinton-era back! haha
10th grade right after school getting home, sitting down to blast The Offspring's Smash while playing Mortal Kombat II on my Sega Genesis with my 6 button controller. Life. ❤🤘
Wrong here too, bands should never "pack it in" just because some of their fans don't like their music anymore. Metallica changed when Black Album came out, and even more so with Load, but it was their choice to experiment and make the kind of music they want to make.
oh the irony.. ending the album with: "I just want to be who I want to be Guess that's hard for others to see I'm not a trendy asshole I do what I want I do what I feel like I'm not a trendy asshole" next album and those after: "LET'S SELL OUT AND START MAKING MONEY!"
Lazy Daze id never consider them as punk.. mostly because ive been heavily into punk / hardcore since i was a kid. this was pop, clear and simple.. and yes, as a kid i enjoyed it.. guess i still do for some nostalgic reason..

Lazy Daze really, so you're saying smells like teen spirit did not make it to the top charts? oook.. i never said nirvana wasnt grunge, even though i consider them more of a alternative pop band when compared to the greats like mudhoney, who actually were grunge. simply saying something is pop doesnt mean it is exclusively pop, it's just the fact that it is popular atm. it has little to do with it's genre, even though certain genres are more popular than others. get your facts straight, kiddo. and yes, panthera is/was pop within its genre, quit trying so hard, it's ok for you to like pop music..
Dancing hard to this one! ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ head over heels, i've been here before now i don't wanna do it no more i just wanna be who i wanna be guess it's hard for others to see
Thanks from my heart.. Smash is my today's feeling.. it is a shitty thing to see your son bullies his younger sister :( sometimes kids are so bad, they hurt each other with words and deeds :(
I saw the offspring 2 years in a row, they played the same set which included every OTHER hit off this album. The next year they did a tour where they covered this and Americana I think. I had to work. I was so butthurt
Every single song on this album is great.
its one of the best whole albums from any band ever.
Yes!
💯٪ right!! 😎👌🏼
Yes indeed my friendo, backaroonie-patoott!😂😊
@@krtm530lol listen to some better records dude
Best. Song. Ever. I wish they still made music like this.
Roma Marwah Smash is the way I deal with my life.
Shakira

Maybe the Masterpiece of Offsping's songs...
Agreed!
Kill boy powerhead though!
This song and album is a time in my life I'll never forget. Luv it
This one and Pay the Man, pure rock!
Defenitely!
Smash is the way you deal with your life!
There.
Fuck yes
Saw this, he sang it as I scrolled. Perfect. Best song.
I miss the old way, smash is the album I listened to everyday after coming home from school. just plug in the ear phones and close my door. Damn I miss those days
Dexter sings this song with such passion. It's incredible.
This was the song I heard in my head as a kid when I got exhausted from trying to please the popular kids in middle school and decided to rebel against it all. The year was 1995.
Yes. It takes me back to being a teenager in the mid 90s. The chorus are still words I live by. Hope you're well.
Yeah, i hear that... almost 30 years later and this album rocks
Yeah, if you listen to this song or album it meant you had your own authenticity and it didn’t just match with anyone else’s!
This song ... means so much to me.
It's helped me through so much tough times .. It just basically speaks to me ...
That's how any one should act ... Do what you want ... whenever you want it .. To hell with what others think as long as you're having fun ... This is the only time you'll begin to feel alive ..
Thanks so much for uploading this song ... The best song ever made :)
💯💯
Great great song from a classic album. Brings me back to my teen years lol
+Ronnie Sørensen same here man, same sentiment
Haha yip mid 90's and too afraid to talk to chicks at a school dance haha
Smash is one of the best punk albums from all the music 4ever. And this song is fucking great :D
You so right!
Love this song, we used to practice skate with the Offspring music, so many memories.
🤘
Same here :)
Was 13 when album came out and my parents had this in my stocking stuffer for Christmas, ran upstairs to put it on my system in my room and forgot about my other presents until later. Album changed my life!
Same
So did I but I was 11
I was 22. This album grabbed me the metaphorical balls.
Stalking stuffer.
Same, I was 13. But I remember when I was listening to this album even my mom was passing by and stopped to ask me what band is it
Every word of this song is my take on life still today. Masterpiece
Lyrics:
Head over heels, I've fit in before
Now I don't want to do it no more
I held it all in with blood on my face
Built it up, man, so bad you can taste
I don't slag no one, I don't even judge
Don't give me shit 'cause I'm not gonna budge
I just want to be who I want to be
Guess that's hard for others to see
I'm not a trendy asshole, I do what I want
I do what I feel like
I'm not a trendy asshole, I don't give a fuck
If it's good enough for you
'Cause I'm alive
Smash is the way you feel all alone
Like an outcast you're out on your own
Smash is the way you deal with your life
Like an outcast you're smashing your strife
Head over heels I've fit in before
Now I don't want to do it no more
I just want to be who I want to be
Guess that's hard for others to see
I'm not a trendy asshole, I do what I want
I do what I feel like
I'm not a trendy asshole, I don't give a fuck
If it's good enough for you
'Cause I'm alive
Head over heels I've fit in before
Now I don't want to do it no more
I just want to be who I want to be
Guess that's hard for others to see
I'm not a trendy asshole, I do what I want
I do what I feel like
I'm not a trendy asshole, I don't give a fuck
If it's good enough for you
I'm not a trendy asshole, I do what I want
I do what I feel like
I'm not a trendy asshole, I don't give a fuck
If it's good enough for you
'Cause I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
There, I hope you enjoyed our time together today
You know, it seems harder and harder
To just sit back and enjoy the finer things in life
Well, till next time
Ta-ta!
2018 im not a trendy asshole
i do what i want
i do what i feel like . yup #2018 still bumping
Thank you for editing this down without the long silence and last song. No gaps in my listening. Love this song.
Smash is my favorite punk-rock album ever, and this is the one of the best songs of all times as for me, always motivates me to live my way, enjoy life not depending on anything, and just feel alive.
Actually in the original version of this song that lasts for 10 minutes in this album, you can hear 2 mini bonus tracks after this, especially cool from 9:00, in my opinion, if you suddenly didn’t know)
This song has literally changed my life when I've first listened to it.
It's just amazing.
And norther's cover kicks ass
Norther!! 🤘
The best song they ever had, and not many people even know. I bought this album because of this song.
Sigh...listening to this makes me remember when bands had more than 2 good songs on an album.
They still do, you just have to look where record labels don't want you to look.
What is a band?
@@soko2407 Are you being serious? Or are you asking for references to bands?
@@Hares_Pit just a joke,was wondering if there were any real bands outhere today
@@soko2407 I've found quite a few actually. Let me know if you are interested
That song has changed my life ... by all means o_o
This is how I live my life ever since I heard this song XD
Hope you’re still living life like this
All this songs my friend, but this is final for a straight 🔥💪🏽
still the best early 90's punk album of all time
My favourite offspring song.
This was one of those songs I liked as a kid, not really knowing what it was about, but it had swears so that made me hardcore. :D
Ryan Murtha yeah me too!! -although my first offspring album was Americana and the kids aren't alright album picture made me curious af- but as I grew up, I realized what the lyrics meant and so....😏😏😌😌
This was my second Offspring CD and my dad took it away when my babysitter hear me listening to bad habit xD
Then as you grow up the lyrics become appreciated.
@@Tobinicus probably kept it for himself
Fuck yea!
Head over heals I've fit in before
Now I don't wanna do it no more

I just want to be who I want to be
Guess that's hard for others to see
I'm not a trendy asshole
I Do what I want
I Do what I feel like

Don't give a fuck

Well, till next time. Ta ta.
Que the Genocide/Change The World riff.
Все мое детсво прошло под эту музыку ! Спасибо им !
This song just reminds me of the 90's whenever i hear it ,and all of the other good things that came with them
Smash is the way when you feel all alone 🔥💪🏽👌🏽
Their best song to end their best album ever.
With every single song from Offspring i can relate, maybe because i grew up with my brother who was spamming their albums on repeat now im 34 and its so hard to find peoples listening such a good music and hang with them
Album brings me back to 4th grade, my taste in music at a young age was awesome.
I used to think bands and musicians sold out. Truth is they don't, they get older and tastes change as well as songs written.
That's the most real honest thing I've read in a comments section. People always hate when band grow and change but the reality is people grow and change :p
yeah they get kids and bills to pay. but the most honest thing is they sign a 3-record contract, and sometimes the unity/passion in the band is gone by the 3rd album since it's been 10 years. if you haven't been in a band (yet) then you wouldn't know.

What I always loved about The Offspring, their songs were honest.
The offspring still has terrific albums and songs after Smash imo, but they definetly never got that punk again. Their first three albums have a raw sound, speed and aggression we have only seen again on occasion, like Da Hui from Splinter to take an example.
You mean first four. Ixnay was Punk Deluxe brother. ;)
Couldnt agree with you more but the sad part is , they aren't the only band to follow that trend
One of few bands I respected transition from
Probably because of how hard those first three albums were
Half Trism from Rise and Fall is a great song with a Smashy sound to it.
probably it was first punk rock song that I liked...
good old times... :)
I'm not a trendy asshole,
do what I want
do what I feel like...
ΝΑΙΙΙΙ ΡΕ ΦΊΛΕ
Zicu Flips well...what I felt like was taking a selfie! You got a problem with that?
smash and ixnay are perfect albums i mean for me all OFFSPRING song are nice but this two albums are just PERFECT
:D
Americana
My first album... excellent !! ;)
Same here bro. We got MTV in rural Ireland in 1994 and Self Esteem would come on and it would blow my tiny mind every time. 26 years gone in an instant. Great time 😁
I feel so good ...listening this track
The Lyrics to Offspring's "Smash" are Words To Live By.
QUARK SMASH!!
word, you are dead on the money, old school offspring is sick, ignition, and smash are two good cd's
I had this tape cranked while I was riding the train to work when i was 15. Damn this album gold.
the best album
These guys had that kind of unexplained magic... Even the album cover is perfectly fitting - it bridged the gap between punk and indie. Makes me wonder why they don't come back... we want clinton-era back! haha
Aw man it's a blast from the past to hear a really low quality MP3 like this.
Still one of my favorite songs ever
Nostalgia! Had forgotten how great some of the transitions were!
This is the only CD I have every owned where I love EVERY song on it.
depuis mes 16 ans se morceau a tjr etai dans ma play liste et en tete de mes cassettes
10th grade right after school getting home, sitting down to blast The Offspring's Smash while playing Mortal Kombat II on my Sega Genesis with my 6 button controller. Life. ❤🤘
respect. every song and every album, lyrically, sonically, is fucking sick
- and i don't give high praise lightly....
Love this song. Wore the CD out when I had it!
Wrong here too, bands should never "pack it in" just because some of their fans don't like their music anymore. Metallica changed when Black Album came out, and even more so with Load, but it was their choice to experiment and make the kind of music they want to make.
SHREDDAGE.
(this was the first album i ever bought by the way---i got it when i was 8 years old, and the cashier gave me this weird look....ROCKED)
The Offspring is one of the few 90's band that actually had lyrics with meanings. OFFSTRING4EVA
I admit - this was my first punk album. Hooked!
Possibly one of the best covers ever.
Who did it originally?
oh the irony.. ending the album with:
"I just want to be who I want to be
Guess that's hard for others to see
I'm not a trendy asshole
I do what I want
I do what I feel like
I'm not a trendy asshole"
next album and those after: "LET'S SELL OUT AND START MAKING MONEY!"
lol Thats pretty much how it went. I like their albums after this, but you can still tell they were starting to become trendy.
Lazy Daze id never consider them as punk.. mostly because ive been heavily into punk / hardcore since i was a kid.
this was pop, clear and simple.. and yes, as a kid i enjoyed it.. guess i still do for some nostalgic reason..

Lazy Daze at least im not the one who thinks pop music is a genre..
Offspring lyrics are so damn underrated! Only true fans know this!
2020 Anthem... in my head
I'm Russian, I had to learn English to hear and understand this great song)))
I'm alive!
the first album i've ever bought with my own money. i was 12, in july, in south west of France
@anonymous812 Когда мне было лет 16-17 )) Я 83 года.... Любимая музыка
До сих пор включаю послушать Smash
Dancing hard to this one!
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
head over heels, i've been here before
now i don't wanna do it no more
i just wanna be who i wanna be
guess it's hard for others to see
Im still playing this album on tape. :)
@chemicalJK Yeah, the song is Come out and play, but it wasn't on the next album, it was earlier on this album.
OFFSPRING'S best work with out a doubt!
Don't let your anger die.
Thanks from my heart..
Smash is my today's feeling..
it is a shitty thing to see your son bullies his younger sister :( sometimes kids are so bad, they hurt each other with words and deeds :(
this song increase my Mana n HP to the max
would blast this cd before football games in high school.
best. album. ever.
This song was released for a 14 year old me, in 1994, and it was also intended for a 44 year old me, exactly 30 years later. Timing is perfect.
"Smash is the way you deal with your life"
their best song! best version is live version on b-side of gotta get away 7"
We had to push-start my VW bus after this show.
Memories
Offspring and Green Day made two of the greatest albums of all time. There was no way they could outdo that for the rest of their careers.
omg Offspring has the best workout music ever!
This album= All Killer, No Filler !
i'm french fan!
smash in 2010 sold 16 millions albums
americana sold 20 millions albums
tottaly more 50 millions album worldwide
The best of Offspring!
I recommend "ka hui" "conspiracy of one" (song) from some of the newer albums.
lol ive listened to this song so much cause it expresses the way i feel
If you're young and just getting into the Offspring, this is the perfect song to blast when you're setting your school on fire :)
Conspiracy and Americana are great, so is splinter and rise and fall, although rise and fall marks the slight change in The Offsprings style.
If only their current stuff was this good. Sure do miss the old days.
too right! still love this album.
you listened to this when it came out - in 1994 - and you are 24 now. so you remember this fondly from when you were 5?
I used to listen to this cd and play Doom64
I saw the offspring 2 years in a row, they played the same set which included every OTHER hit off this album. The next year they did a tour where they covered this and Americana I think. I had to work. I was so butthurt
Legendary age of real Punk rock!
Awesome cover of this song !!!
Dude I got the most metal fucking sunburn to this song. Spring Break '12 never forget.
Classic!!
we dont care how he sing man ... its just the best group i ever heard ...!
This is so real and so raw.
Flawless!
Fuck, what a great song. And a great album.
