There's something about this era of music that just can't be replicated no matter how hard people try. I'm always going to be thankful that I was able to grow up as a kid listening to music that had heart and soul written in it. I'll miss those days...

[@adam145]

This music just can't be made in this economy. People used to go out and buy tapes or CDs of bands that played some really cool concert and then everyone just passed the info to their friends and family. Now you try to search for a band on youtube and you get suggestions of more popular bands that just paid more for the ads. If everything was treated as equal, people would be much more exposed to these classics and they would literally have billions of views.

[@MrTylersmash]

@@adam145 I kind of like how records are making a comeback but holy crap they're overly priced as hell... I still buy CDs time to time sometimes those can be super cheap, I just find the sound to be better on CDs than digital, also I like having physical copies of things that I can actually hold, trade, and look at, the joy of music was having to go out, socialize and talk about music with others as you searched in the store for something, those days are gone sadly.

[@futanahriadventures]

Back in 96-97, i was barely 8yo, riding a bike near my home, and i noticed a dirty cassette tape thrown away amidst some trash and overgrown grass in an abandoned campsite, labeled "best of...". No one was ever near it for ages, so i took it back home to see what it was. The first song was Self Esteem, and it changed my whole taste in music forever.

This is one of those songs wherein the group actually created something bigger than they could have ever realized or imagined, but it also typically happens that way because they at least know it's good the moment they playback their recording of it. I mean, most artists know what they're capable of for the most part. This is the absolute peak for the Offspring, the measure by which you can judge any song after it and supposedly upcoming (IDK if they're still together and/or putting out new material) songs. This is where calling it spectacular is damn near an understatement.

The fact that this band can do a song as "stoopid" and "slacker" and goofy and F-it-all FUN as this one is, and then turn around and drop something as touching and profound as "Gone Away," speaks volumes about their chops. And in both cases, Volume is what's up.

"Self Esteem" wound up being the second single released from The Offspring's third studio album and caught on fire in 1995, charting in America and Europe. MTV showed the video a lot of love and helped elevate the band to new heights of popularity. The Offspring, with several other punk bands of the era, brought punk rock into the mainstream as nobody had quite done before... All due respect to The Ramones.

@@dismalproject1974 I could never make asses or teakettles of Come Out And Play until I read the lyrics. Could never understand jack in that song. I have good hearing and a good stereo.
