- The Offspring - The Kids Aren't Alright, from their album "Americana"
Lyrics -
When we were young the future was so bright (whoa)
The old neighborhood was so alive (whoa)
And every kid on the whole damn street (whoa)
was gonna make it big in every beat.
Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn (whoa)
The kids are grown up but their lives are worn(whoa)
How can one little street
Swallow so many lives?
Chorus:
Chances thrown, nothing's free
Longing for,used to be
Still it's hard, hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams
Go!
Jamie had a chance, well she really did (whoa)
Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids (whoa)
Mark still lives at home cause he's got no job (whoa)
He just plays guitar, smokes a lot of pot
Jay committed suicide (whoa)
Brandon OD'd and died (whoa)
What the hell is going on?
Cruellest dream, reality
Chances thrown, nothing's free
Longing for,used to be
Still it's hard, hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams
Go!
Chances thrown, nothing's free
Longing for, used to be
Still it's hard, hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams - Hudba

I listened to this during high school... now that I'm an adult, wow. The song's true, I also lost so many friends to drugs. I wish someone explained to me that depression and anxiety would truly kill dreams.
Laugh
View the world from a nihilist view
@@abel5779 I sure did after they found the body of someone I loved, dumped on a deserted stretch of road
@@ElizabethDucc When people you love die around you, you find ways to laugh for sure.
@@AR1GAT0 ive lost so many people to drugs including my litte brother he was my best friend but you need to enjoy those small memorable moments because those are the best things life has to offer the rest is painful to remind you how special those moments are
" Years later the kids are even worse "
But I ain't 😂😁
Fuck right
Omg how did u guess😱
Love em or hate em, this mans spittin
ye with all the tik tok and instagram
“How can one little street swallow so many lives?” So powerful
Omg haha its Marty Mcfly
"The cruelest dream, reality."
ItzYung Goblin He’s highlighting the relevancy of the lyric. Use your fucking head. If you need it spelled out for you then here, he’s saying reality is a dream, and it’s worse than any nightmare you’ve ever had.
Indeed.
LaMingo Johnson IV dude chill damn
MNightTacoBaco I’ll have none of it my guy, there is no chill. Lol, sorry, I just can’t stand negative people; I reciprocate energies, you feel me?
@@lamingojohnsoniv5150 I feel you. That clown had it coming.
2006: What a cool song playing in this Tibia video.
2020: What a cool song about how most my friends ended.
You all need to check out this cover of The Kids Aren't Alright by Miss Fortune 🔥🔥🔥. czcams.com/video/AKBYBXSiPM8/video.html
@@wearetriumphant No
@We Are Triumphant asshole..
wow I didnt think Id hear any reference to tibia ever again
Sorry to hear that
As a kid I didn’t relate to this song. Now being 23 I would do anything to go back.. cruelest dream is reality
I'm 49 and this song gets more relevant every year
23? Shiiiiiit
Why would you want to go back? The past belongs in the past, the good parts but especially the bad. Keep moving forward my friend
23 huh? Buckle up kiddo, it only gets worse from here.
@@AbbaZabbaOlyFrn child detected
That guitar intro gives me goosebumps, this song brings back so many memories of been a teenager
I just heard this intro somewhere and started crying, like, full on, no stop.
Have you heard the Buffy the Vampire Slayer theme song? Same
When you're young, all you want is to grow up. Once grown up, all you want is a chance go go back.
Thanks Mr. Swanson
So true
unfortunate, but facts 😔😔😔
I never wanted to go back
I wouldn't go back if I had the chance. It's a sad commentary for those that do.
Once you grow up, this songs lyrics hit you harder.
Braeden Burdge yes it really really does
Big time. I've done nothing with my life.
Oh yeah. Big time.
Righty right
I feel you. You lose touch with those you always spent time with and life can become one dark stormy cloud of depression :(
Used to speed down the road, listening to this. Most friends and family move on, others pass on. If I had a choice to re-work my past into something better, I'd probably rather just keep working on what I've got now. People can dream of the past, but it won't do as much good as mending what little you have left. Best of luck to the lot of you out there, trying to make a grey day seem just a little bit brighter.
Wise words, good read. Thank you for this.
My ramblings if you or anyone else is interested: I definitely agree that it's better to do the best with what you've already got, whatever it might be, even if it's only a bit, as opposed to constantly wishing you could've done better before. Because that constant agony of regret, it gets you nowhere. In fact, it continues (and worsens) the very problem in itself. A self-fulfilling prophecy of sorts, you could say. While focusing on here and now and what you can do to make a better future, that's what brings betterment in one's life. :)
Thank you both, even years later.
I’d not change a thing in my life. The good the bad the ugly. It’s my life. I made my mistakes. My progress my decisions. I’d never change it.
Thank you.
I have had a lot of not vwry good things in my past (not socializing, complete social isolation, and because of this I lost a lot of friends) I'm working on trying to get them back but I doubt all of them would be cool with me still.
This song honestly makes me terrified. I'm still young, I don't want to end up like this...
None of us did either.
Find someone to love and hold the fuck on.
@@jackmac2217 legitimately good advice
Here's some advice: Get out of where you are when you graduate. Doesn't matter where you go, just don't get sucked into your old hometown and waste away your life and do something with it.
@@blackops555 no, don't leave your friends and family behind to chase down excitement. That's how people end up fucked. As long as your home town isn't a degenerate shithole filled with drugs and crime, your best bet is to stay. Find a wife/ husband, raise a family and build something for the future.
@@jackmac2217 fine, get a family, career, whatever. Just do it somewhere else thats not in a 100 mile radius of where you grew up.
I thought this was supposed to be a song, not a role call of my graduating class.
And in Ontario, Canada thats going to become a bigger reality if the Ford government has their way with the education system
People don't cut school, besides teens
Imagine how I feel when I feel it was the class of 08's song...... O_O
@@PhoenixAngel429 damn feels
I feel the same way about my home town, and the kids I knew. Most of them didn't make it.
I never realized how relatable and scary this song was until I graduated high school.
Agreed, also your mods are pretty cool
I'm graduating this year and my brother (an eigth grader) got offered shrooms. My graduating class is barely passing. My sister gave up on hers years ago and works in a daycare. She's 23
"the kids aren't alright is relatable" says the furry
@@yasininn76 i simply dont need to hear it from the guy who is probably about as unique as 1% milk
someone who is built like the mayor of halloween town
someone who has 2 braincells racing for 2nd place
someone who's PFP looks more like that damn walking watermellon from cloudy with a chance of meatballs.
ong@@yasininn76 bros the reason the kids arent alright 💀
2024 anyone?
Of all the bands you would never think Offspring would have endured over the years. Their quality song writing was definitely overlooked back then.
yessir
Yess
Fucking right
I got here because I dad had some of these songs playing including this one
I feel like this is more relevant now than it was in 1998
mtallmen184 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
27 an grew up with brothers 10 years older . have a listen last year. Its as if this song was made just for me .. I'm sure anyone getting to being a young adult growing up poor will relate to this either from here Australia or america
It's because, its right! It's more relevant now than back in the 90s. I absolutely love this song, it speaks to me.
honestly
Espessialy when you realise our celebraties and leaders rape and molest children, maybe they were trying to tell us something
[Verse 1]
When we were young the future was so bright (Woah)
The old neighborhood was so alive (Woah)
And every kid on the whole damn street (Woah)
Was gonna make it big and not be beat
Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn (Woah)
The kids are grown up but their lives are worn (Woah)
How can one little street
Swallow so many lives?
[Chorus]
Chances thrown, nothing's free
Longing for what used to be
Still it's hard, hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams
(Go!)
[Verse 2]
Jamie had a chance, well she really did (Woah)
Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids (Woah)
Mark still lives at home 'cause he's got no job (Woah)
He just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot
Jay committed suicide (Woah)
Brandon OD'd and died (Woah)
What the hell is going on?
The cruelest dream, reality
[Chorus]
Chances thrown, nothing's free
Longing for what used to be
Still it's hard, hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams
(Go!)
[Outro]
Chances thrown, nothing's free
Longing for what used to be
Still it's hard, hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams
isnt it "Was gonna make it big in every beat"?? english is not my first language but i think it makes sense
@@blaketto no it's "was gonna make it and not be beat." i looked it up, but yours sound's good
@@blaketto no it's "not be beat" as in dead beat, ergo loser. The locution you're thinking of is "make it big in every leagues"
I hear verse 2 as the following but this makes more sense 1:35
Jamie had a chance well she really did
Stacey dropped out and had a couple of kids
Mark still live at home cause hes got no job
He just plays guitar and smokes alot of pot
She(going back to Jamie)committed suicide
Brandon ODd and died
What the hell is going on
Cruelest dream reality
@@blaketto nope
34 years old and damn these battle scars are no joke. Whoever is still reading this, i hope you are in a better place. If not, just know what I've learned over the years is most of your barriers in your life are in your head brother. Do whatever it takes to tear those walls down and i promise you, you'll see positive changes. 🤌
Yes!!!
Hope everything goes well for you, brother
Graduating in about 2 months...man do I miss back when I was in elementary school and didn't worry about all this shit
Same with middle school, buddy 💯💪👍
I've lost friends due to suicide and deaths, friends who got lost due to drugs and I moved out the neighborhood but always try to prosper in life. But man this song really gets to one if you been through things like this.
Hope all my friends I grew up with in school and on the neighborhood are doing good.
This song felt epic when I was a teenager.... now I'm a parent and I get even more emotional hearing it. Wise and sad truths being dropped here. Amazing song always!
I used to hear this song while riding home from school in my dad's truck when I was 14. I never really understood how eerily relatable this song has gotten over the years now that I'm an adult starting to make my way into the world as I've watched my friends move off to college and the ones still here fade away into a world of shit.
"The cruelest dream, reality"
i get how that feels
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Goose bump moment!
What a tune, what a band, what an era and to top it off I met my wife of 20 years at an Offspring gig as teenagers!! Doesn't get better than that!
Bless you two then . I'd probably find my love In that crowd as well
@Bas _?&?&!& Fmzlccfnncmnfnfjfjffkkcskdjdjdkejcc'fnfjnnffnjxfnjfcfjfjfjjdf
Fairplay bro!!
Cool shit bro....hope the show ended with a kiss and some head banging! Swooosh!
That's beautiful dude, much love
I'm 28 and I've already lived this song. Stay in school and stay off drugs! Remember someone loves you whether you know it or not.
thank you sir, I needed that
Sometimes I doubt that someone loves me whether I know it or not sometimes but at the end of the day, you're right
I don't have shit but my dogs lol.
The saddest thing is when you witness this song in real life.
Scrambles the Death Dealer just have a poo
@@LC-qi5ff ?
Yep grew up having a blast with all my friends getting into trouble and trying to find ways out of that trouble now most of us work all day everyday and are getting by on the skin of our teeth sadly for a couple of those friends life bit them in the ass one too many times one killed a guy in a drunk driving accident and the other lost contact with everyone after he went into the military
James Price just take a poo
@@jamesprice2163 im that guy who lost contact with everyone after joining the military... its been like 6 years now
Foresight into the future... I never expected these lyrics to become truth in my old age.
Boy do I feel this one, it's scary being in my mid 30's and reflecting on these lyrics, and being like damn.. hits different for sure.
The kids still aren't alright.
Going into 2020 with this
Just did
same here
Fu$&in rite .
See ya in 2021
thank fuck someone said something better than "Who's listening in bla bla?" Respect to you bro I hope you have a good life!
"Jay" is basically my best friend.
rip brother
I've been searching for this song for years holy shit. I finally found it, and I love it even more now.
Sionnanful memories
Could've been told you what this song was called my dude. Lol cheers
Loved this tune since back in the day.
2 years to hear all Offpring Albums??!!
Where are you from? Iraq or North Korea? This isn't a hard song to find in the first world.. Congratz though, I do know the feeling!
Once you grow up these lyrics hit harder than my dad
Oh..
lol
My dad left, so idk.
@@FranciscoJHerrera429 can you blame him
@@Bugman541 wtf
This song feels like it was made to be played during the end credits of an angsty movie with a bittersweet ending
The lyrics are so real... I kinda cried
lmao
I was in elementary school when my dad bought me this album😅 (I'm 30 now).. Brings back so many memories! 🤗
Same here I'm 27 I still have it too love this album meant so much too me growing up
I got offspring smash and Green Day dookie tapes for xmas in grade 2 from my father. Im 32
@Tanya Odebralski Me too! Especially since Fentanyl is killing so many people. I knwo its not about that. "brandi Oded and died" has come very true for me.
My mom bought me this album around Elementary, too (32 now)! Remember when you heard songs on the radio, and had to buy albums? I wanted this one for Pretty Fly and Get a Job, for sure. Hah, I remember my mom was letting me listen to it in the car, and the first time she heard a loud and clear 'F**k' in the lyrics. Ooh boy.
Same for me. Turned 30 in sept and this was my music growing up 🧡🧡🧡
A neadle could never hit the earth
I just turned 17. I first heard this when I was probably 11 or 12, then it was just a cool song I danced to. Now it's almost a reality and it terrifies me. I'm so scared to be on my own
Me too bro let’s live our teenage life as much as we can !
Haha! Then get room mates when you move out
That's normal. When I got my house I definitely didn't sleep right for awhile because it was only me in there and it felt weird.
That's why I got a dog. Highly recommend.
You'll be good work hard pray and vote Republican🤘🇺🇲
17 is quite young. Stop panicking - here's some free advice, don't take drugs, don't get into drinking, don't spend your energy watching porn whacking off and go to the gym instead. Be healthy, work towards your goals. You'll be alright. The issues you fear can only trip you up if you chase the fake highs and false pleasures of addictive behaviour.
Long islander here, At least 10-15 kids i know of from high school died from heroin after i graduated in the past 9 years. Some lucky ones and I were lucky enough to get clean, some passed on, and some are still fighting everyday. Keep fighting.
3 dead friends and 30 lost friendships, and life still goes on
I've lost two friends in 5 months
Tell them to stop doing herion 🤦♂️
I've lost a few people REALLY close to me (immediate family)...
Yeah, life does go on, it's never easy, but... yeah, I don't have any profound wisdom or anything, but I guess just don't give up!
I know they would have wanted me to stay strong and carry on, God bless all of you!
@@MrNsb823 If only it were that easy...
😞
Sad ):
This song kind of hits me hard. Im turning 30 this year. Just moved back to my home town and got a job working as a jailor at the local jailhouse. Found out two of my friends growing up have passed away. O.ded on heroine. Three more are actually inmates I watch over. Found out my older cousin is living out of a camper and my younger cousins gotten married. So much has changed since I've been gone....
Be strong brother, prayers to you
One of the best songs of the Gen X/Millenial generation Offspring! Thank you! ❤
40 years old, 90s kid. This is hitting way too hard... Full on tears done my face
In my graduating class we had 4 deaths before the year was even over. Most of my class ended up giving up on our dreams and dying, starting drugs, generally failing, and the odd one or two who were successful. In high school, we couldn't wait to get out. Once we were, we all wished to go back.
Grew up with this song. My dad would play this song full class and sing it with me when I was a baby. This song always sticked in my head. Love you dad you gave me a great taste in music
You have a good dad :)
When I saw offspring in concert for the first time, I was 15 years old and the future was indeed bright....Now I'm 31 and one of the broken kids that Dexter sings about...Life is hard nowadays, I miss the good old times just jamming to rock music blasting my guitar
I heard this song when I was 11 and thought “man that’s nuts he must be from some crazy place!”. Now that I know my gang turned out exactly like the kids in the song, it breaks my heart to imagine my 11 year old self listening all oblivious. I didn’t know I was IN the song. When I look at my kids and their friends, I always try to remember that they’re probably IN the song too. Some of them will die young or go down the drain in other ways. I wanna treat those kids like soldiers going to war who might not all make it back. They need all the help and support I can give ‘em.
Lyrics,
When we were young the future was so bright
The old neighborhood was so alive
And every kid on the whole damn street
Was gonna make it big and not be beat
Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn
The kids are grown up but their lives are worn
How can one little street
Swallow so many lives
Chances thrown
Nothing's free
Longing for what used to be
Still it's hard
Hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams

Mark still lives at home cause he's got no job
He just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot

What the hell is going on
The cruelest dream, reality
Chances thrown
Nothing's free
Longing for what used to be

Fragile lives, shattered dreams
Lyrics are in description but thanx
@Liam Obrien wow thanks for sharing my name while being such a chode
@@liamobrien9451 no prob bob
I hope you copy and pasted that otherwise your one sad fucker...
@Liam Obrien he miss typed some fucking lyrics, calm down.
Is this what’s going to happen when I graduate in 2 years.????? Came here to drum stayed for the sadness I’m deadass about to cry
Just live your life and try not to fall in this trap. Now you know what can happen, try to do it better. Good luck.
The Kids Aren't Alright," became sort of a self fulfilling prophecy for me. I still live with my parents and play a lot of guitar smoking lots of pot.
I've had depression, anxiety, body issues, and self confidence issues ever since the 3/4th grade. I'm going to high school next year. I don't want to, I'm far too scared. I want to continue being a kid when I wasn't hating myself and felt like crumbling with the world. Songs have may of made me feel emotional about my life. But this one? I looked at the lyrics and it feels like a personal attack and a comfort at the same time. Thank you offspring for a good song and a good band
Work on yourself dude as someone who's had those issues from a younger age it doesn't get better until you make it better. I started way way too late but I'm still on the road to a better life but you that you're young you still got so much time. Pick up a hobby or try anything physical,boxing weight lifting anything that will help improve your body trust me it'll help but it has to be done for you not for the crowd. Don't ever doubt yourself my friend you got this. I believe in you even if you dont believe in yourself. P.S don't be afraid of the future there's nothing to fear just take it day by day & try to be the best person you can be that's all that matters
@@thatmovieguy7778 I just had a horrible day and honestly this made me feel so good. Thank you kind stranger
Its funny how when we're kids we're loving these songs, not even thinking bout the message being delivered to us, til' years later, as adults, when come back to these classics, and listening as the message unfolds and we're seeing clearly of what's going on in the world of yesterday, and today within these songs! The power of music hit different back in the days, all we had to do was listen and learn.
Sounds like something you would hear in a Tony Hawk game
100%. Came here from listening to a song from THPS3 lol
Ahah😋
Came here from a tony hawk Pro skater 2 music vid might be the YT algoritm
Or maybe Crazy Taxi game
100% Tony Hawk Underground brought me here. Lol
Never knew what this song was about my whole life till now that I’m 30, it’s a hard song
This song always reminds me of my brother. Not only did he play it on guitar. But he smoked alot of pot and committed suicide. So this song is always for him ❤️💪
I witnessed everything this song describes in my own life. We all had such promise.
I've never heard a song that summed up my sad little midwestern town better before. Damn.
This song sums up all over the world , growing up. I'm 54 , I Was a punk in the early 80's ( this song borrows a lot from early 80's so-cal hardcore punk ,anyways by time I was 19-20 I was already losing friends to suicide , overdose , and the hits just kept on coming. Thru the years I think of all my friends and acquaintances that died young. Here I am still alive. Guess what !? I'm 55 this year , I still go to every local punk rock show there is , I still drive around town by myself blasting Adolescents and Jerry's Kids etc , I still get in the pit ( a little bit ). I still do things I shouldn't do. I keep pushing at life daring it to push me back , daring it to man up and handle business. There's just a few of us left from the old scene now , we always meet at the punk shows watching the teens walk by , talking good natured smack back n forth. Yea I'm old enough to be your grandpa but I'll still kick your ass buddy haha. Life is beautiful. Nobody ever forget that. Whatever had shit your going thru , it sure beats being in the dirt. If anyone ever feels down, look me up and come to a punk show with us , be young again. Be alive. And ol mister death.... Can kiss my ass!
Even as a kid I understood what the lyrics meant but couldn't relate, but now years later I can actually relate to them. Never take innocence for granted, you never know when it'll all come crashing down on you.
Benjamin Danielsen Mine disappeared at 23 in OEF
Lost 2 of my best friends last year, both to suicide. Rest In Peace Jeff, and Tommy.
This stigma is that in fact we don't want to die we just want the pain to go away and that's the way it is rest in peace both of them and I hope now they are okay and have that peace that they've been looking for
@@laine6407 You're making seriously dangerous assumptions. Life is made of lemons. Some people have neither sugar nor water to make lemonade.
I've had people hang themselves because they would have screaming fights with their drunkard parents.
People OD because of a mistake they made to try and cope with severe emotional trauma.
People blow their heads off with a shotgun because everyone they ever met thought they were trash. Be a good fucking person and don't call them selfish. They aren't.
RIP Jeff and Tommy.
@@laine6407 you are just speaking bullshit, you really dont know how it works.
@@laine6407 OMFG. You piece of shit. They aren't selfish. I wanted to do suicide because i was being abused. If you have kids. I'm not gonna be surprised of they resent you
This song really does hit harder when you grow up. It brings tears to my eyes everytime now now because it reminds me of the friends I lost along the way as well as the friends who lost themselves along the way. Love this song but it's always bittersweet to listen to 💔
Miss the 90s this was our song now hearing it . It hits pretty hard
I had this album. Jammed every day while I skated. I need this again
Same
I had a CD Walkman and this album and skated to school
Great Time was is the late 90's. Skating, Ps1, Dickies shirts, nice music
Ten years later and i still feel this song so hard.
I read "ten tears later", I was for a second confused
KåMi CyrosBlaze same dude same I live it each day
@@blazaybla22 I kind of messed time up a little ^^'. Upload was 10 years ago, ive confused my own age with the upload plus the age when ive first discovered it....im 33 (still dumb apparently) and had listen to this song when i was like 15 or something, so yeah, i messed up a little :)
There’s no way a needle can destroy the earth
This song hits home. Ive lost 2 good friends do to a drug overdose and had a couple more good friends end up in prison. Seems like out of all my friends i had in high school I'm the only one who didnt end up in jail or in the grave.
This song hits harder and harder as the years go by and more of my childhood friends are gone. I especially miss my friend Joseph. I'm glad i got to see them live at sofi stadium. I just wish he got to see them with me. If anyone is reading this, please look after your loved ones.Take time to actually listen to them. Please
The cruelest dream, REALITY.
Highly relatable song as someone who grew up in a small town where substance abuse has been sadly very common
25 years later, still a pure masterpiece!
1990‘s kids, hang in there. ❤️
Used to love this song when I was growing up racing dirt bikes, when life was simple. Now I really understand the lyrics and it chokes me up every damn time.
Makes me feel sad that today is worst then yesterday. And it just continues that way.
I heard this song as a kid and just thought it was cool. Now I'm grown up, the lyrics became a reality and I realize I'll never be as happy in my life again as I was when I heard this song as a kid... This is one of those songs you wish you would've never found out the meaning of.
Rideing dirtbikes with this song hits deffernt
This melody has been stuck in my head for 2 months and i fianlly found it! I remember when i was a little guy my brother would be in the garage playing in his punk band and them skating out front and me watching with this blasting... Ahh nostalgia0
I've studie in a school with lots of rules, and we had a rádio inside that broadcast to the entire school, back in the day I was the first person to play "rock music" in the school and was the album Americana from offspring
It doesn't get better...it only gets worse. 😔😔😔
Ive always loved this band but my wife's absolute love of them has me loving them on a whole new level. Pure class.
I wanna go back to when I was younger:(
So do the kids he's singing about...
Dont we all
When i was younger: "God damn, i want to be older!"
Now: "I want to be young again when everything was awesome, now it sucks!" :D
I was Marshall until I was like 24. Now I'm 34 and have had my own place and Job for 10 years now, still smoke a lot of pot, no time for guitar anymore. Not sure who was happier lol
Theme of Millennials and Gen-Z right here, eh?
It's our national anthem.
Originally it was Gen X. But I think it could apply to any generation really.
Exactly why I stopped reading the lyrics lmao
I'm currently 18 and these lyrics hit hard and are so damn relatable whenever I look back on it
same mate
Everytime I hear this song I think of the elementary and high school kids i grew up and it saddens me. Some of things that has happened to them as adults is unreal.
Hallo 😅😊z😊
Ja 1:07 😊😊😅😅😅😊😊
Listening to this at 14 is mildly existentially crushing
This song is so true on so many levels. We used to have a bright future and a great society filled with many dreams, and now we're slowly but surely losing that to greed, sloth and arrogance.
grew up listening to this through elementary school believe it or not on my portable cd player.. those were the days. love this album to this day (now 27)
"Americana" was my first Offspring album. Got it soon after after its release. Some 20 years later I'm still playing it and it still fucking rocks.
This song's tempo used to go so well with the early CZcams 240p quality Dragon Ball Z MVs in the late 00s but now the lyrics hitting me hard.
I miss you, Rev... I always thought I'd die before you.
This song was on my teacher's ringtone, that was first time i heard this song. After that, this song was on repeat on my mp3 for long time, but never really listened to the lyrics. Now its wierd, feel of nostalgia mixed with some kind of melancholy and anxiety
RIP Astro Soup's channel. You were one of the best creators there ever was.
Before phones we used to go outside and play. Now kids wont even step outside their rooms. I miss the good times…
Im just crying. I heard this song when i was 5. Its crazy.
Some songs transcend generations and I think this is one that both Gen Xers and Millennials relate to. As millennials are getting up and age, our friends around us are dying or struggling in ways that we weren't supposed to. We were promised the world, and we've inherited a shitstorm.
Selene Lavelle as somebody born in ‘97 but who grew up with stuff that came out before my time, I completely agree
Shit I remember when me and my friend were listening it on the lessons in 6th grade and singing along while teacher complained, i didn't even know what i it about, now I've got it...
Hits even harder when you remind everything that you've been before
Было дело... ;-)
Grew up in a decent area on the better side of town. How many friends have been killed or have killed. How many got strung out and died.. how many.. I’ve lost count. Lord knows I’ve been close myself. Just turned 41 and hadn’t heard this song in decades and it hits harder than ever.
Ultra power song...habe ich mit meiner allerersten Freundin mega gefeiert...ist über 20 Jahre her!😊😊😍😍
2019 and still amazing
Lost another friend from the old days
RIP Cedric Benson
This kind of loss must be really hard, I'm sorry. RIP
Rip
Rip
Rip
Happens.
2021 alot has changed since being 14 in that red shed with my friends and now half of them or either dead or in prison I just sit and think while I listen to this sometimes
WHAT IS GOOD NEVER GET OLD, ONLY GETS BETTER!
God... best song on the whole album, and it ages pretty well with it's subject matter.
This song kills me. Reminds me how many people I grew up with have passed just in these few years I’ve been outta school.
How Can One, Little Street swallow so many lives..
Jason Hurk go fuck yourself buddy
