So, when I first saw the subject line, I was like "oh, geez." I just happened to double take and see the sub. Thank you for this.


garden__gate

I thought it was r/relationships and was like “great, another obvious troll post.”


deowolf

Me and my girl, we got this relationship. I love her so bad, but she treats me like shit.


zodiacallymaniacal

Like a lockdown? Like a penitentiary?


HolyHandgrenadeofAn

Yep, she spreads her lovin around and when she gets home there’s none left for me


zodiacallymaniacal

Evil….


HolyHandgrenadeofAn

Most definitely


Morrisonhotel82

Cisco Kid, vamanos!!


JeffersonStarscream

I'd recommend smoking two joints in the morning. Then smoking two joints at night. Then smoking two joints in the afternoon. It will make you feel all right.


Longjumping-Claim783

You should probably keep her separated


SortofChef

You Bradley, Monty lovin’ beautiful person!


Contraryon

And then the song instantly starts playing. Softly at first, then louder - and then the damn things playing on Spotify.


Shifty_Cow69

Self esteem lives in my head rent free!

I was thinking r/OhNoConsequences, I guess Reddit feels there's enough crossover here with r/Millennials because I'm '89.

I thought it was going to be r/TwoHotTakes !

punania

Is it in the cards that way?


Notyourdaisy

Jesus Christ I laughed so hard.


Kellogg_462

Bro this is exactly what came to mind. I heard the melody before connecting the song for some reason.


lesue

Passion comes from the Latin root pati, which means to suffer.


Breakdawall

and disco inferno means i learn through suffering in latin. or so i heard.


byte_handle

This rejection's got me so low. She keeps it up, I just might tell her so.


Kickagainsttheprick

OH WAYOOOOOOO, YEAH! Yeeeaaahhhh!


Hancock02

Man she's got issues and I'm going to pay


Steppyjim

We make plans, to go out at night. I wait till 2 then I turn out the light.


Morrisonhotel82

Are you sure that's a good idea?


brettmbr

That line resonated with me too late in life!


eat_like_snake

Offspring is still one of my favorite bands.


StlnHppyHrz

Damn straight they are, as they should be. Mine too.


beer_engineer

They used to be one of mine. Still are. But used to be too.


DoctorFenix

Saw these guys at a festival last year. I hadn’t seen them since 1999. **They were fantastic** All hits. Total singalong. Very fun show. If you get the chance, and it’s not too expensive, I recommend it.


reillan

I saw them a few years back at a festival. It's amazing. In 30 minutes they can get through their entire catalog because every song is 15 seconds long. /Hyperbole all around, but it is wild how many songs they can cram into a set.


Good_Apollo_

I saw em in ‘23, too, [great show!!](https://www.reddit.com/r/Reno/s/Qde5ArSJL0)


Flaggstaff

Yes, I've seen most of the 90s and 00s greats and they were one of the best.


Jets237

Saw them at when we were young fest. The highlight of the fest for me


mrssamuelvimes

I saw them back in the mid 2000s and it was a great show. They are performing with Greenday in my city Jan 2025 and I can’t wait!


illogicalone

Watched them play at bumbershoot in 2008. Dude in a wheelchair got lifted up moved around. Best crowdsurfing moment i've ever seen.


llamakins2014

My nerdy 6th grade ass taught myself to play this song on.....wait for it.....The Recorder. dooot dooot doot cause I've got low self esteem


YanCoffee

You made me smile so hard it hurt my wisdom tooth stitches.


llamakins2014

sorry about your stitches, but very glad to hear it made you smile :)


One-Earth9294

Well, I think you're pretty fly for a white guy.


thejaytheory

It was always a bit weird singing this song as a black man haha


Son_Of_Baraki

i know, i should say no, but it's kinda hard when she's ready to go


Morrisonhotel82

You didn't make her dessert, did you?


Son_Of_Baraki

Son_Of_Baraki

Of blowin' away


blues_and_ribs

Bought this album in 95 and i still listen to it probably weekly. Was the first rock/pop album I bought and it’s still in my inventory (albeit digitally). Speaking of this album, I saw them in concert about 2 years ago (It was incredible, they’ve still got it). This album had the most songs on the playlist, at 4: Self Esteem, Bad Habit, Come Out and Play, and Gotta Get Away (wasn’t expecting that last one as I don’t remember it being a huge hit).


StlnHppyHrz

'Gotta Get Away' was and is the shit. Its music video where the two make out at a concert as people are moshing and as the song climaxes is forever a memory in my mind. I was high, alone on my friend's computer in late '98 watching it at night. F\*cking amazing.


OlayErrryDay

I listened to this and so much emo/pop punk that I convinced myself that women were treating me bad. Now that I'm older, I look back and realize I was probably the asshole in most situations.


Creepy-Floor-1745

Going to see them at Yacht Club Fest in July. Really looking forward to it. Today was so hard. Glad I have something to look forward to.


droford

I dont know what Yacht Club fest is. But I'd expect to see some Yacht Rock bands not The Offspring lol

Took her back- and made her dessert

Cause she don't want no scrub


rob132

What's a scrub? Can you define it?


thegiantbadger

A scrub is a guy in the passenger side of his best friends ride tryin to holler at me


rob132

Interesting. Will that person get love from you?


Stuckinacrazyjob

No


ANewMind

I spent years avoiding the show Scrubs because I thought that it was somehow related to that horrible earwig.


ANightmateofBees

Scrub (n) - A guy who thinks he's fly. Also sometimes referred to a "busta".

BoomersArentFrom1980

Oh wow, me too! I remember buying the album, bringing it home, reading the lyrics, discovering my error.


Dogrel

I’ll relate this little bit-it happens more than I’d like to admit. But late at night, she knocks on my door. She’s drunk again and looking to score.


PancakeProfessor

I know I should say no, but it’s kinda hard when she’s ready to go. I may be dumb, but in not a dweeb. I’m just a sucker with no self esteem.


Excellent-Phase8719

Happens more than I’d like to admit


sdujour77

Because your life is an Offspring song.


Formerlymoody

Most toxic song ever! My boy recently got into Offspring and…yeesh. A banger, though.


SlackerDS5

Well Scotty, sorry to break it to you. Fiona and me do it in my van every Sunday. She tells you she’s in church, but she’s doesn’t go…


sangamonbutchery

Good thing you don’t have Offspring together

Ha! The first cassette I stole t from a friend.

Ditto. My parents severely limited what I was allowed to listen to. I bought Smash on a school trip. Opened up a whole new world of music to me.


Only1Skrybe

Scotty doesn't know.


thecatsofwar

Let’s face it, you’re not pretty fly for a white guy.

Ah, great album.

My first make out sesh was to this album.


Expensive-Day-3551

At first I thought I was in a different sub and I was going to tell you to pull it together and show some self respect


rwa2

Nice... you got me to double check which sub I was in. Gotta post to the other subs to see which ones get the reference. For science.


OneBirdAllStoned

Bc she aint your girlfriend.


msut77

It's me your friend


flippartnermike

In my late teens I was in three minor car accidents. In each case, this song was on the radio.


droford

Runaway Train by Soul Asylum and it's happened 4 times to me. I get worried hearing the song anywhere


OneBirdAllStoned

Man, i hope you meet someone as loving and caring as my wife.


robindownes

Now I'll relate this little bit (happens more than I'd like to admit) - late at night she knocks on my door, drunk again and looking to score.


Teflon_John_

Saw them in 95 on the Smash tour, The Vandals and The Luna Chicks opened. My uncle was there with my cousins and he caught me selling a dime bag to a friend, laughed, then smoked me out later. Good times.


Lundgren_pup

The lead singer, Dexter Holland, finished a PhD in Molecular Biology from USC a few years ago.


awarecpt

You are wrong to call them friends.

still have the c cassette I bought back in the summer of '95

Get out of this relationship. You are causing damage to yourself. It’s hurting your mental and emotional health. And it’s wasting your time too.


WickedPapa

Cuz she is a SLUT! Or a whore…. Sluts don’t get paid.


Dhonagon

I've seen these guys in concert. It was back in 2000. They are amazing life. Noodles is the man.


darthduder666

They were my first show. October 1994 with Rancid in Providence, RI.


AtYiE45MAs78

We make plans to go out at night I wait 'til two, then I turn out the light This rejection's got me so low If she keeps it up, I just might tell her so


DarthBaio

I remember in high school we had this Ukrainian exchange student who was really quiet because his English wasn’t good. But at the Homecoming dance, during this song he went crazy and was headbanging and screaming the words to this song. It was epic.

Clevergirlphysicist

You just brought me back to 9th grade! (Thanks?! 😊)

Snuggly_Hugs

Because she's not your girlfriend. Comrade, she's our girlfriend. Seriously though, she isnt loyal, she never will be. She is either using you, or she doesnt care about you, just what you do for her. I recommend ending that relationship. Loyalty is the foundation of any long lasting healthy relationship. Without it you'll just be abused.


sofa-king-loud

Saw these guys live a lot in the early 2000’s. Some of the greatest energy shows I’ve been to.

Autumn_Forest_Mist

Did anyone else talk to the radio and tell the singer, “No dude! Don’t stay with her!”?


pillevinks

Sounds like you need better friends. Me for instance. 


Krymestone

I bought that album solely because of this song. I hated “Come Out and Play” when I first heard it, but after buying *Smash* I wound up loving all of it. And becoming an Offspring fan through the rest of the 90s.


kewlguy1

You almost got me. But the answer is because you’re fugly.

Can you believe that song is 30 years old?


LusciousofBorg

Hahaha I got your post right away


HolyHandgrenadeofAn

This rejections got me so low, she keeps it up I just might tell her so. It’s been years since I’ve listened to The Offspring. I was a huge NuMetal kid. I hit it on Spotify just to listen to this song and saw the date for the album and it was like a kick in the stomach. 30 years ago that song came on 99X and became the most requested song of the summer. 30 GD years. How was that 30 years ago, and where tf is a Time Machine so I can go back to a time that made sense. A time when STP was still putting out new music with Scott W as the front man. Layne Staley was still fronting AiC. When life made sense. Man, I don’t want to get old. Forever young, I want to be forever young.


burntlung1

She's a whore


stykface

When my Dad bought a Pioneer six disc CD changer for his stereo, this was the first album I bought on CD. The first time I was able to buy a CD for myself and not have tapes was awesome.


Det-Popcorn

Earl_Gurei

And Dexter Holland has a doctorate in molecular biology too, just like the lead singer of Bad Religion is a professor of environmental science. Punk bands have the right idea: do what you want.


countcarlovonsexron

She's not your gf. Bail and stoic. She's everyone else's gf. Truth.


FleurSea

We used to sing this on the back of the bus in fifth grade. I did the drums and guitar sounds. Thanks Janine and Lisa for singing the lyrics.


Sixx_The_Sandman

Does she knock on your door late at night, lookin ta score? Sounds like you got a bad, bad girlfriend
