For my part, this led to me becoming increasingly disinterested with their new material, as a little piece of that intense fun was being lost with every passing chapter. Despite their great live shows enduring, the noughties saw a string of middling albums that struggled to progress their sound in the right ways. However, on a creative level, The Offspring’s greatness dimmed out twenty years ago. In short, the band have played a pertinent role in revolutionising the pop-punk model, and they are indeed a part of the pop-punk pantheon with contributions that can’t be overlooked. l could go further still and praise them for being one of the best live bands I’ve ever seen – a real testament to the band since I only saw them six years ago – or I could note the fervent fondness I have for their mid-to-late-nineties albums and the aforementioned nostalgia that goes with them. I wouldn’t say I’m the biggest The Offspring fan out there, but I can at the very least assert the band have their own inimitable sound that instantly sends me back to my childhood when I put on one of their albums after all, it’s impossible for me to hear “All I Want” and not imagine myself in utter bliss playing Crazy Taxi on my Sega Dreamcast.
