The Offspring Music Style
The Offspring’s music style is a mix of punk rock, alternative rock and occasional pop punk elements. Their sound has distinctive fast-paced energy, catchy melodies. And they have great lyrics on top of it all, like they weren’t good enough already.
Early in their career they made more of a raw punk rock style with heavy guitar riffs and quick tempos. With time they did start adding in more melodic elements. As for the lyrics they often touch upon social issues and personal struggles, but also bring in some humor. Self Esteem is a great example of that.
