'Dis My Jam #3

The Kids Aren't Alright - The Offspring

Okay so, I just discovered this song about two months ago. This became my instant favorite song because I generally love punk and fast songs. The intro of the song is just perfect! I really like the part of the intro when the bass drum kicks in. I won't mind playing this song in the guitar over and over again.

This song is basically about being a stuck up, wasting your life and how cold reality is. This is one of the best reality check songs I know so far. This song proves that everything in life doesn't always go according to plan and that is just damn accurate.

One of my favorite lines in the verse is, "Mark still lives at home cause he's got no job. He just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot. I've seen movies with characters like Mark from the song. Hopefully, I won't end up like Mark because I'll try my best not to be a f*ck up.

For all those Offspring fans on this site, I just want you to know that I'll be posting more Offspring songs on my blogs.

It's Original Prankster quinny. ^_^

@amazingwebhead

i think i've heard this before, can't remember where

great song :)

Ah, I like that song :)

Mm, that is a good song. Punk is one of my favorite genres of music. Punk is love. Punk is life.

@quinnofthestoneage: AWESOME!

I'm there with you bro! I'm there with you!!

You should check out a band called Such Gold. They're a fairly new-ish band, and they are very punk.

Such Gold eh? Never heard of that one before. Thanks and I will check it out!

Do it! My personal favorite of theirs is a song called "Faced."

Faced was awesome man! But I think i'm liking Two Year Plan more. Thanks for introducing me to these dudes. I owe you one! :-D

@rocketraccoonthingy: I'm glad you like them! "Two-Year Plan" is awesome. If you like them, I suggest giving the post-hardcore genre a try. "Human Target Practice" by Hail the Sun is good for starters. Circa Survive is also great. Post-hardcore is an offshoot of hardcore punk, and it's awesome.

Sounds awesome man! Will check it out later. ;-D

DO IT.

@ryagan: Alright alright.

The notification thingy is broken so, I might need to do some tagging.

I prefer clasic punk over pop punk, but The Offspring will always have a special place in my heart.

Awesome. And of course it will have a place in your heart those are the offsprings bruh!

I listen to both classic and pop punk. Do you like Dead kennedies?

@rocketraccoonthingy: f**k yes! DK are one of my favorites. I remember getting in trouble after singing "Kill the poor" in school. My other favorites are Bad Religion, Ramones, The Addicts, Black Flack, NOFX, The Bouncing Souls, The Misfits and The Stooges. Although I would classify the later as more of a proto-punk band.

@fuzzylittlerodent: Awesome man! The next blog will be a Dead Kennedies song. Not sure yet which song but, It will absolutely be coming from the Fruits For Rotten Vegetables album.

The only band that I've listened to among those bands you mentioned are NOFX and Ramones. I am a big fan of Ramones but, I don't feel NOFX that much.

By the way, do you know the band Descendents? If you wanna check them out, make sure to listen to the Milo Goes To College album. ^_^

@rocketraccoonthingy: I saw NOFX live a couple of times with my friends so they kinda grew on me. The Descendents are legendary. There aren't many punk fans who have never heard about them. You should check out some of my favorites. The Bouncing Souls are criminally underrated imo.

Yeah. They make a lot of inappropriate jokes on stage right? I saw a Youtube video of them mocking a kid my age wearing a Blink-182 t-shirt. It made my day.

I bet Descendent songs are perfect to play while skateboarding. It will absolutely get you into the mood. Know what I mean? :P

Sure bro! Will check them out later.

still broken?

@rocketraccoonthingy:

It's okay now bro. I was just pretty busy. ^_^

Sup homie

@rocketraccoonthingy: So little dude, when do we get the good stuff? ;)

@black_wreath: What good stuff exactly bro?

Gotcha!

*runs away and hides

@rocketraccoonthingy: Your "jam" Rockit, when will it finally start rockin? ^_^

Very soon my bro.................

Don't you like this one?

Offspring haven't rocked since Smash, dude.

I'm gunna assume you made an alt?

That's a lie bruh. How about Americana and Conspiracy of One?

Yeah. Made this months ago supposedly for RPing. I only use it nowadays when my other account gets flagged banned. >_<

You know I might've given you Ixnay on the Hombre because of Gone Away but bleughhghgh yuk! O.O

Quite the little troublemaker, hmm what shall we do with you young man...

I knew that. Gone Way wasn't really offspring sounding. Oh and I really like Ixnay on the hombre too.

Keep quiet........

One of its greatest qualities! ^_^

You sassin' me, boy??

Why would I sass you?

That's right you wouldn't if you knew what was good for you! Kids today...

@black_wreath: Rocketraccoonthingy never sass his bros. And bros never sass the thingy.

@kid_deadpoolofficial: You're still going by Rocketthingamajig? Confuzzling.

That account will get un-banned the day after tomorrow.
