The Offspring - Jennifer Lost The War 1988 

Back when Dexter was the best student of the Cobra Kai dojo.

Dexter definetly lookin like a typical late 80s cali kid

This footage is crazy! Noodles was only 56 years young here

Here we see the beginnings of the famous Greg K. bass sway.

35 years later still one of my favorite Offspring songs

Such a recognizable voice!!! Long live Offspring

Dexter just knew what he was doing right from the beginning (they all sound great) but man, his voice sounds bloody brilliant - particularly because he looks so young here as well

in my opinion its one of their best songs

OC punk. This was a one camera shoot and we shot several takes. I remember asking the band if they were going to fly in a tour about to start and Brian saying, "This is punk, we're not Bad Religion." Good times.

Damn, Ron Welty rocken a mullet!

I was then 4 years old kid in 1988. The Offspring came familiar to me in 1994. 👌😉

man this is gold...

cool as hell to see a successful band in their very early days.... always loved these guys! Very cool!

Man, cannot believe I have never seen this before! Awesome to see such raw, and early, footage of this band, prior to them hitting it big with Smash in 1994 (even though I know they had 2 other albums out prior to that). Still love their Self Titled album, and especially, Ignition, probably even more so than Smash, but still gotta give it up for Smash, simply because Come Out And Play was my first introduction to this band. 1994 was a great f***ing year for music!!

Some bands are legendary from day one. Its just the way it is. these guys got that blessing without a single doubt.

This song never gets old, even if this video is from the year I was born 😂 The Offspring are certainly a top band with a huge place in music history 🤘

Jibba jabba aside, isn't this a fucking great-sounding song, even after 30 years?

Wow. They sound a lot better than I thought they would, considering how young they were.

Dexter sounds great.

I worked concerts for years and can say 100% The Offspring were the nicest guys with the best crew ever. We were treated like kings. They had a lady who had a golf cart who’d shuttle us around the venue so we didn’t have to walk and she had drinks and snacks for free. We got to hang out backstage and rub shoulders with the band. And end of show they gave us each $600 cash and thanked us again and gave each of us a t shirt. One of my best memories of 2018 tbh. Then, Taylor Swift.. her team and father had some really strange rules and you got the vibe she thought very highly of herself.. and her “fans” were a parent, with five spoiled little girls behind them on their phones being awful.. “dad, tell the guy I want to see all seven shirts in medium and small” I never did a show for her again lol. To

This is one of the best Offspring songs ever and they would continue that... They write sad songs with upbeat music...

I remember making a video like this with my band in highschool during a trip to Cedar Point amusement park. I could never imagine becoming a successful band and having it posted on RU-vid 30 years later. What a trip life can be.

dexter looked so young

I remember hearing this one one of the first Punkorama albums and immediately fell in love with this group.

They are so young but they so clearly have it!

Offsprings first album best ever

Jennifer lost the war. Killed by John Kelly (her mother's 'boyfriend', back in 1986, in the summertime in Pointe Claire, Quebec, Canada--where this very song was actually written. Rest in Peace, little sweetheart. Love, Ian.

great lyrics

The voice is traveling tru time. Never change

dang was the offspring already that catchy back than..? and Dexter had already his unique voice ... im stunned

The offspring was kickin asses since 1986, no doubt that they was born to be a great punk rock band 👊

So young the lads! I love the ripped the shirt from Dexter to give that “ive just come from a fight” look 😂

Wow Noodles was really rocking out on that Fender Telecaster Deluxe guitar , back in the good old punk late 1980s :)
