The Offspring: Can they cause brain damage?

[NETim]

OK, at the risk of sounding like a square, I bought my first Offspring CD today, "Smash". The album is 10 years old now! :--) Got it for the track, "Come Out and Play. " Love that song! I never really paid any attention to the lyrics until I could read them for myself.



Now I know "Come out and Play" is about gang violence. But up until now, the chorus, "Got to keep 'em separated" always made me think of a certain item of ladies' lingerie.



I think I'll buy more, but I am still concerned about the possibility of brain damage from this stuff.



I think I'd call their music "frenetic. "

Tim- I hear what your saying. Some of the filth that comes out today must be a concern for one's mental health. I over hear some of my co workers "music" and cannot believe some of the lyrics. I don't think that it is an age factor as there are some (few) bands of today that are tolerable. I think that it is a matter of how much "shock value" that can be gotten away with (re: SuperBowl antics. )

Huh?

Anybody ever hear of a group called Cake, I think it was? Definitely different. Don.

SDSGDMF - Offspring listeners should recognize this.....



My college roommates and I listened to Offspring when we were cramming for tests or writing lab reports - we are all mechanical engineers. At 3 AM Offspring went on and somebody was going to get body slammed in the hallway - 3 of us all 6'3"/6'4" 215-240lbs.



I still have the CD in my truck. It's great road music for dirtbike trips.

they have a few good songs, but most of their stuff is garbage i think...

 

[jtisdale]

I have been listening to Megadeth, Iron Maiden, and Spinal Tap since the early to mid eightys, and I have no brain damage of any other psychological problems. No, I dont worship the devil either.

 

[NETim]

C'mon, zillions of studies have positively concluded that Spinal Tap music causes brain damage.

Offspring rocks! I have one of their CD's in the truck's radio right now. Good head bangin hard rock. I don't know about brain damage but my ears have taken a hit or three from them.

DKayser,

Yeah, Cake is different to say the least- like their Short Skirt and a Long Jacket. My ex was built to pull that off VERY well. Woman we lived with in Loveland was a BIG time NIN, Marilyn Manson, KORN, etc fan. Most of it got on my nerves, but I got to where I could stand some of it; we did listen to 3 Doors Down's first CD on the way to Tulsa Gun Show. I kinda like Nickelback's (sp?) new one- Figured You Out.



No, the Offspring wont cause brain damage. Now the offspring that are the result of a broken prophylactic, are BORN with it... .....

I like the offspring!!

I just bought (and am now listening to) Nickelback The long road.

Only problem is, I really like one song on the whole CD.

You know you want to hit that... ... ... .



Offspring was in my first 97 when a Canadian liberated it.

Wouldn't do them any good, round wheels and all, ya know.

I had a g-friend that complained of my foul mouth around her 4 year old but listened to the Gang with her around and sang along as well. Go figure

Offspring is OK.



Everclear is always my fav road music. That or 3rd Eye Blind.



Many a night of street racing was done to 3rd Eye Blind.
