The Offspring: Dexter And Noodles On How Punk Has Changed Over The Decades 

Love The Offspring. Just got my tix for August. I’ve been to 200+ concerts I’ve only seen them once in 2004. They played like 2 hours and sounded great live 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Remember when Punk was against the establishment, now Punk is for the establishment.

Great interview, the guys are so cool and chill. I would love to see The Offspring live some day.

Seeing them live is now ticked off my bucket list..

These guys look really good for their age, sometimes it's hard to remember they're 56 and 59. I guess punk rock keeps you young

Dex is looking the best he has in over a decade. Looks like he's hitting the gym and taking better care of himself. Good for him! Cheers from WA!

Yeah, they sacked their drummer because he wouldn’t get the Covid jab…. so punk rock!

Saw there show in Toronto a couple of weeks ago there were amazing, the blimp just floats around before the show

I distinctly remember listening to KROQ in '94 while living Orange County, CA....and Come out and play came out. It was on the radio non-stop. I always thought it was dope that Dexter had an Advanced degree and Noodles had worked at my friend's school as a janitor. So cool to see Dexter's hot sauce everywhere too!

Been a fan since year 7 (1996) and finally got to see them on this tour. What a set!

"Think for yourself", eh? 😅 Didn't work out too well for their old drummer, Pete. :/

I can't believe I missed them when they came to Brisbane last time, they played SMASH in full for it's 20th anniversary in a small underground venue ON MY BIRTHDAY but I couldn't make it!!!...

The Defiant>The Offspring.

One of my favorite bands

Lost respect for them, firing the drummer because he wouldn't get the jab, punks yeah right, Establishment stooges.

This moment when Dexter and Noodles heard about the chart competition 👀😅😀 I cannot stop laughing. So funny and all having fun together 😛😂

I saw them at Horden Sydney. I knew their stuff but wouldn't consider myself a fan. They were really effing amazing. Well played boyzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

I love how humble and grounded Dexter and Noodles are since the beginning. They didn't change really despite all the fame. In relation to their misunderstanding between band members, it's hard to say who was greedy and all that. Also, they wouldn't be able to go for a tour with previous drummer. It's a shame they told him to leave, but they had their reasons. If they waited, he could play with them now. But, I suppose they are great now. Like, Greg, honestly, was just standing on concerts. I think they are doing well 😎

Nothing says punk quiet like firing a member of the band because they can not medically be vaccinated due to having a conflicting medical condition...

Another awkward interview from the Project... most of them couldn't name 3 songs.

Love these guys

Punk is all about following government mandates 😂 so punk

Absolute legends

This is punk for corporate CEO offspring.

Remember punk is doing want government says getvyour shots

I was expecting Dexter to talk like he sings

The Offspring. One of the greatest bands ever! Smart dudes rockin it hard! Love it! 🤟😎

Offspring isn't remotely close to punk music

Saw them play live back in 2008. At a festival. I was leaving the festival and walked past their stage n was like hey, there’s the offspring. *kept on walking*

They are amazing

no one is getting into punk for the money these days. Australia has been killing it with new bands and fresh music though!

Dexter❤

Dexter is my hero

Yeah Ok Offspring, you haven't been punk for 25 years. Ignition and parts of their best selling album Smash are punk. The rest? No, not even close to punk.

How has punk rock changed since the 90s? Well no drummers were kicked out of a band for not being “vaccinated” for one…these guys are tools

Dexter who’s your Daddy lol

They should re-do Mariah Carrey's All I Want For Christmas Is You in their own style. Killer.

Almost all my top bands are gone at least I still have Iron Maiden, Metallica. Anthrax & Offspring!!! No more Slayer, Allman Brothers, Pink Floyd has been long gone!! So has S.O.D.!!!

Its conform to the machine punk music now?

Nobody cares where is your drummer

fired their drummer because he wouldnt subject to forced medical tyranny, and yet these two blockheads still think they are punkrockers?

😂😂😂😂dying

Punk? lol the offspring isnt punk

Literally the worst interview

Signing AFI was the only good thing Dexter has done

I got to watch them a few weeks ago and they were amazzzinnggg. 🤍

I’ve never understood this band.. pop riffs and corny lyrics.. I don’t get it!

❤️

How punk has changed?? Well "go get vaxxinated" was reaaaaally anti mainstream

rather corporate pop-punk for kids, cleverly marketed by major record label

OMG, I'm still crushing on Dexter Holland so hard after 2 and a half decades 🙈 Never thought I'd hey a chance to see them in my lifetime but so stoked I got to see them in Brissie!

Get your boosters! SO PUNK ROCK!

The drummer says you gotta keep them separated

I really enjoyed this, also i loved how these hosts knew little details like why nooldes became the band member, and they knew that new carol. This was amazing

I still remember seeing Offspring in DC at HFStival. It was a hot as hell day and water was way overpriced. A girl passed out in the crowd in front of me while Linkin Park was on stage, and we had to pick her up and get her crowd surfing to the front passed out to save her from being trampled. It was pretty nuts. But when Offspring came out on stage they came out with hoses and hosed the crowd down. It was so needed and you knew it wasn't part of their act or something. They're just looking at the crowd and seeing the energy and they know what should be done. Great band. Always loved their music. I'm so happy I got to see them during my run of concerts back when I was younger.

In the 70’s punk railed against the establishment. In 2020 it became a simp for governmental overreach. That’s how it changed.

Dexter in december - 57 y.o. He si look very very good!!!

The two have strong pizza lover vibes

Still love the smash album. Not so keen on anything else they’ve done since

90s punk was already very much different from 70s punk. there isn't that much punk around anymore. well, of course it is, but not as prominent

Noodles said: "Punkrock" "You got to go to smaller clubs to really find it" 3:24. So that leaves Offspring out of Punk-Rock. Basic Math dudes

I love how their competition is frogs :)

Dexter Holland is a pilot, nuclear physicist and frontman of one of the best bands ever. Wow

Noodles was never young but he'll never grow old

Punk ain't dead. It's just older, fatter, balding and going to bed at a more reasonable hour.

Dexter and Noodles are the James and Lars of punk.

They fired their drummer/friend after 10 years because he wouldn’t get vaccinated. They didn’t do it themselves, someone from their management did. So yes, it seems like punk rock has changed quite a lot for mainstream bands... For Frenzal Rhomb, Jeff Rosenstock, or Streetlight Manifesto, not so much! But that’s just my opinion.

They seem such nice guys

Punk has not changed. The offspring did. I'm a fan but not of their new stuff.

Best show last night!!!’

*throws bottle cap on ground "Yeah I'm just tidying up a bit"

Yeah there are the frogs then the Mr. Chicken remix of”The kids aren’t alright” it’s the best thing I’ve ever heard

I’d sooner listen to some frogs than any of the nonsense these guys have been putting out for the last 25 years. Christmas carols now?

Dexter is my definition of "punk cool"

With the way he sings, I expected his voice to be a bit higher lol

Life on Ettwein street lol

Right song right oeople

Legends

Saw these guys in kingston ontario. Awesome show

Been my favourite band since I was 5... always been cool and never gave into the fame

There is a lot of punk bands. Offspring has always been class act.

Punk is noise punk is dead thank god

There are only 25 blimps in the world
