Best "YEAH"s and "WHOA"s in the business

Met them once after a local radio interview. Had my Ixnay on the Hombre cd in hand and got their autographs. They signed in black marker on an already dark cd cover. You can barely make our their signatures. Oh well. Not my brightest moment.

The saddest part about this song was growing up and watching it come true.

[u/siegewolf]

Highly recommend Dexter Holland's hot sauce Gringo Bandito. It's just as good as their best songs.

[u/SimpleMoth]

As a preteen I learned of them through a best of album which I know is sacrilegious in many people's eyes, but im so glad to have found em

[u/KyeThePie]

Fuckkkk... so many memories of 11 year old me making Runescape montage videos to this song. How time flies.

[u/shh_Im_a_Moose]

Easily my favorite song of theirs. So good.

I listened to Ixnay the whole way through for the first time in probably 10 or 15 years recently. I have no idea how I missed how much the album is sarcastically mocking dickhead teenagers back when was a dickhead teenager.

This song is my hometown (and many more like it)

Countless friends dead to suicide, heroin overdoses, etc. Classmates homeless, people I knew with the highest of aspirations living in trailers, or getting arrested for prostitution.

I see the headlines from my hometown, recognize a name or two, and remember back of the classroom conversations about skateboarding, or movies, or music, or the girl/boy they liked. Back when they were kids, when we were all so innocent.

This song really affects me.
