      It's crazy because in the 90's we thought this was humorous and laughed at the lyrics. I haven't heard this song since then until now, and he change my feelings about this song. It's not a funny song anymore. It's tragic and sad.

  • @dipsydoodle7988

    It's interesting to me that in the 90s we thought these lyrics were humorous and everyone who listens to this song today sees it as depressing. I think it's both. There's some sarcasm in there and he's very aware and allowing the situation. If you dig deep tho, I guess it is profound. People really do put up with amazing amounts of garbage.
    Pretty Fly For a White Guy is another one of these. Hilarious on the surface, but dig a bit deeper and it's a definite self-esteem thing. They have a ton of great songs. Lyrics are always on point.

    Been there, done that. I really feel this song hard, because this is the story of my marriage. It took me 5 years and several suicide attempts, just to realise everyone around me were right, and I was blind to it. Believe me, you don't want to be in such a situation. Take a big step, talk to family and friends (real ones, not the wannabes), and most importantly open your eyes.

    I'm thoroughly impressed. Unlike many of these reaction videos, you really seem to get the message with just one viewing. BTW, the lead singer is a PhD biochemist.

    god, this always takes me back to high school when I was in love with one of my closest friends and he basically strung me along like the girl in this song. Listening to this song actually led me to realizing I needed to cut him out of my life.

    an amazing song. Offspring rocked mid 90s. More upbeat songs are "Pretty Fly" and "Come Out and Play". Oh yeah,I like the new lid, bros

    Dexter (singer) has said in interviews that he was writing songs about what he was seeing around himself. This is one of those bands that has a lot to say on the current state of things, but it is so slyly done on some of their songs that most people do not really see it.
    Other songs by them to try:
    Come Out & Play (aka Keep em' Separated) - was his commentary on gang violence and school violence in East L.A. about the time of the Rodney King riots.
    Gone Away - was written while Dexter was mourning the loss of his girlfriend who had recently died in an automobile crash. The pain, frustration and futility (wanting to switch places) is evident in this song.
    Kristy, Are You Doing Okay? - was written for a girl that he knew when he was a child. The neighborhood seemed aware that she was being abused, but none of the adults seemed to be acting on this information and Dexter and his friends were too young and did not know what to do. The song seems like an apology and I hope you are alright.
    Pretty Fly (For A White Guy) - this is another example of what they do so well. This one is addressed to poseurs of any kind. People that clearly do not care about the music, culture , etc... that they are trying to inhabit. The band went for a 'taking the piss out of' (mocking tone) approach to keep from sounding preachy. Around this time you had a lot of young boys (men) in the midwest (as far out of Compton as they could be) acting like they were gangsters when they were clearly doing it to be trendy rather than understanding that culture. Basically poseurs involved in that community for all the wrong reasons.
    The Kids Aren't Alright (see you got this one already) was written when he went back to his hometown after several years away. His peers and the town did not seem to be progressing & they were stuck.

    I've seen these guys live a half dozen times, all at smaller concerts in Canada. In '96 I had a friend drive me to Calgary under false pretenses, because she always had the CD playing in her car and she had never been to a concert before. I made an excuse to stop by the arena and surprised her with tickets. They are a great live act and have many great memories attached to them. Glad your enjoying them.

    we were lil Grungers who had massive fun covering this in the 90's in our garage band lol & yeah, well loads of us in the world have had one of those doomed, shitty, hook up's similar to this sentiment. there's nothing to be ashamed of, long as we learn from our mistakes & start to respect ourselves more. incidentally, the guitarist in said band & I, have just celebrated 20 years happily married soulmates. so ya really DO learn! :-)

    Yes! The Offspring rules! Please also consider from them “Why don’t you get a job”, “Pretty Fly” and “You’re gonna go far kid”. Cheers!
