Everyone is talking about how they remember when this came out. I do too. It was absolutely a wonderful time, especially for music. But these lyrics? They are telling a story that is still incredibly prevalent in our times today. These poor kids deserve better. Everyone deserves a chance, wouldn't you say?
My oldest daughter was four when this song was on the radio. One day we're riding the car and she's head banging and singing "Ya gotta keep em separated." I laughed my butt off. This song has a special place in my heart. Thanks for the memories.
The contrast between the lyrics and the rhythm is amazing, really sad stuff but damn can’t stop shaking my head when the guitar riffs come up. So glad I grew up in the 90’s, it was an amazing time to be alive.
I’m 37 years old, never heard this song, and my 7 year old keep playing it on her Alexa. I thought it was a new song, damn I wish I came across this one a long time. Pure banger. 🔥 🔥 🔥
I'll be 65 this year and I'm right there with ya. We didn't get stuck in a rut, listening to the same old songs we listened to in high school, like so many people do.
Same here..and God damn do I miss it...no cellphones,Facebook, I mean shit we barely had internet..it was all about toiling through work just to get up with the boys and go out and party
nope the 80s beat 90s, the 70s beat the 80s and the 60s beat every decade ever! The 50s are rad too and the 30s big band swing is legacy of American music...but that's just me :) If kids today listened and lived PUNK, they would shoot their phones and mosh it up instead of pilling out! Sucks to be under 40!
Yeah. It's hard to figure where the Offspring fit in to all of that but they were pretty much liked by everyone. There weren't really grunge but grunge people liked Offspring. Same with people who were into punk and metal. I've always got time for The Offspring. An excellent band.
denger lagu ini jadi inget ibuku 😭. sewaktu kecil ibuku tau persis aku suka banget lagu ini. setiap muncul di tv gak pernah pindah channel nunggu sampai selesai aku menikmati lagu, semoga Ibu baik baik di alam sana 🤲
semoga kamu baik-baik saja dan aku harap ibumu baik-baik saja. Saya menggunakan program terjemahan. Sangat menarik untuk berbicara dengan orang-orang di negara-negara yang jauh. This is a great song.
I went to a concert of The Offspring last week, and I was astonished to see kids younger than 17 rocking with this as if it was released last week. I am lucky to have grown up during the 90s! hahaha
I'm 39 and taking my 2 boys aged 12 &10 to see Offspring in December. They love the music that I grew up listening to and are almost as excited as me for this concert 🙂
The offspring was that special kind of band that helped us people survive our teenage years. And many more to come, Even though I’m on the last of my 30s and into my 40s, This band will always help me throughout my ups and downs.
i was born in 1987 in indonesia.. this is my first punk song i heard when im 8 years old.. when i was in middle school i collected my pocket money to buy every the offsping album and i started my own punk band.. we play the offsping song like come out and play,kids arent alright,all i want ,mota etc.. among the other punk bands,the offsping always have a special place in my heart .. 😍
Ah 90s were the best, forever punk The Offspring are so underrated... Childhood memories.. GO GO GO !!! I'm listening in 2019, it feels like I took a time machine back to mid 90s
13-15 years old I would walk everywhere listening to smash album, in a Sony diskman, that would barely fit in my jacket's pocket.Thanksfor the memories!
I had about the same age, but since I live on a third world country and the album was released by an indie label and I didn't had enough money for a diskman, I had to go to a record store a ask to import Smash on cassette. It was more expensive that regular cassettes released in my country of course, but it was worthy, I used money from the scholarship I had back then. I played it on my Walkman and obviously used a pencil to rewind some songs. I still have the cassette.
He was in his 40's Nistroropoulos Andreas. This song was out in 94' and that means 22 years ago and he is 64 now so he was probably 42 but maybe he is his age now when he discovered them recently.
Underrated? Since when? You do know that the song you're listening to was a very popular single on the best selling independent album of all time, right? This is like saying that Foo Fighters are underrated. Yeah, they're both past their prime, but neither are magically forgotten when the topic of their respective genres is brought up.
I heard this song when I was little, maybe when I was 5...my uncle loves to play this song back then, and now, I still hear this song...Really, I enjoy this...
Won't lie, this was the song that made me a lifelong Offspring fan. Saw it on MTV when I was 13 & the video style plus music was awesome. Still love the "keep 'em separated" guy popping in like the "TOASTY" dude from MK2 😅
oh god i remember these days i was a young punk/guy this music was sometime else i got inspired into the genre or music .. a whole new world opened up.
Almost 50 here. A few days ago, alone in my car after a hard day. And this song on the radio. In a second I was jumping on my seat, singing and laughing while driving home. Oh gosh ! It was soooo good to feel all this energy back 😍
Me, well that was a friend, and later more commenting that I looked like Kurt Cobain. Grunge, punk, hard rock, progressive rock, alternative, rock. All my kind of music. 60's-90's. (And some 00's and forward)
Akbar Basit My dad had 13 Songs by Fugazi hidden in the middle of his wall of CDs. 6 or 7 year old me always sneaked in to his den and messed with the collection and his sound system. That's my earliest memory of hearing true punk. I probably scratched the shit out of a lot of great albums. Haha
90's were different. Neither was better. 80's had Metallica, Def Leppard, Ac/Dc, Bon Jovi, Ozzy Osbourne and many more but 90's had the Offspring, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Green Day and much more. Both are good in their own ways
This is the song that would always played everyday while my dad would drive me to school. He would blast it full volume and we would bop to it. Good times
All these comments about the current generation are true to an extent. I learned to play the Guitar rhythm at 0:25 on my $50 Casio Keyboard when I was 8. Me and my brother would record it and play it in the background while we had transformers battles. At 15 The Offspring is still one of my favorite bands. All of the 90's high school comments are cool too. The other day I was listening to a grunge/playlist that I made and this song came on as soon as I walked into the cafeteria. It was pretty cool..
Before he became famous as the lead singer for the punk-rock band The Offspring in the mid-1990s, Dexter Holland was just another graduate student toiling away in a laboratory at the University of Southern California. One day, he pulled two five-liter Erlenmeyer flasks full of steaming hot LB broth out of the autoclave and put them in the safety hood to cool down. But the cooling process was taking forever. "They were right next to each other," remembers Holland. "I thought, 'These things are never going to cool off. I've got to keep 'em separated.'" The phrase struck Holland."I thought that was a funny line," he recalls of what would become the signature hook for the band’s breakthrough hit, Come Out and Play. "It was literally a biology inspiration."
I just loved covering Offspring in our Thrash/Punk Band; it was so much fun. Thanks for the memories to those of US still alive. RIP Mark, RIP Don. The best time of my Cover band days. Mazzy (Missy) AHO!
Had this album in 6th or 7th grade in the 90s along with Nevermind and everyone had both albums lol. It was like a prerequisite to not being a prep, or jock.
I am 44 years now. When I listen to this song, I feel like I'm back in time. Very colorful time. I love The Offspring... ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I just loved covering Offspring in our Thrash/Punk Band; it was so much fun. Thanks for the memories to those of US still alive.
RIP Mark, RIP Don. The best time of my Cover band days. Mazzy (Missy) AHO!
we had a radio on the boss when i was in 9th grade. This song came on and i've loved offspring since
I first saw this video clip on TV in 1994, and at that time I was still in elementary school, and until now I still really like it 🤘
Exactly 💯🤟
WTF DUDE! This was playing on a CLASSIC ROCK station on my way from work tonight. Early 90's is classic? I'm older than this song man
We're vintage ! 🤣😅
I've listen to almost an albums worth of offspring songs trying to find this song. And thank god I did.
Had this album in 6th or 7th grade in the 90s along with Nevermind and everyone had both albums lol. It was like a prerequisite to not being a prep, or jock.
