I was the lone female working with younger male co-workers at a warehouse in 1993 when I first heard this song. Hearing that young men had issues with self-esteem was a revelation to me. This song made music history in my eyes because it was the first time a man sang about not having self-esteem. That takes guts and it impressed me. I like the edgy music to this day. It's a masterpiece.
Its taken a lot of different forms, time, acceptance, etc...for a lot of people to really not only realize that men are vulnerable with their feelings, but guarded at the same time. They express their self esteem issues with their male friends, but those friends will never let anyone else know what they heard. Women may only learn of their(men) insecurities a long time down the road, once he feels like his insecurities wont be held against him. We do have feelings, we do have emotions. Sometimes so deep it pains us to want to share them with other people because we don't want to burden them with our problems while they have their own stuff going on. Bottom line. Even the most positive man you know, is struggling with something. I dont mean just men, but in this case, we are all fighting something inside we wont share.
I always kinda thought Dexter was being satirical. Trying to highlight to people who do put up with that kinda shizz just how awful a situation it is, when you're the one hearing about it.
Oh yeah.. I was born in '77 and and arrived just at the right time to get the full package of diversity, universal love and equality from all across the globe showered over my because of Mtv during my high-school period. It made me remember the real important stuff and forget what was not useful to me.
Almost 200k subs, that's because everyone loves your reactions, especially I love you quickly you 'get' songs, some of these songs I have listened to for years and never really listened to the words. But you get it right away. The Offspring is such a great band, great sound and deep content.
The point of the song is definitely to tell people to not let themselves be lead on and humiliated by abusive and manipulative partners. It is pretty satirical, and the "more you suffer, the more it shows, you really care, right?" shows that the protagonist tries to convince himself, but knows that indeed it is NOT right. Offspring had a great ability to write pretty deep lyrics while delivering them on upbeat joyous and catchy music. Great band
Remember, were dealing with mental health issues here... Very easy to be on the outside looking in... It's already been said, a lot of the problems people with low self esteem have may stem from childhood/ bad experiences in life.
Can’t Repeat, Come Out and Play, Gone Away, Why Don’t You Get a Job, Original Prankster, Defy You, Can’t Get My Head Around You...this band has so many good songs! Still upset I’ve never seen them perform live!
@@MrVideo123 we appreciate you and your videos, man! You always bring the energy, and I love that you aren't afraid to step out of your comfort zone and listen to any/everything.
This song hits a hell of a lot differently looking back on the years since it came out than it did when I was looking forward at the time. Especially that "the more you suffer" line.
I was just thinking this exact same thing. Loved this song when I was young and if I ever thought about it too hard, I’d think “that’ll never be me!” But listening to it now, all these years later... it struck some chords I wasn’t expecting. Ouch! 🩹
Leo, I appreciate you words of encouragement! You're a dear. This was my favourite Offspring song. Love it musically and lyrically. I don't know why but it made me feel better as a kid-- made me know I wasn't thr only one. Great bop, for sure
Way to go!!! Almost 200K!!! So very proud of you and happy for you!!!! LEO the LION we're back in the LION'S DEN for another great reaction!!! #Mr.Video
I just gotta say I love this little community you created here. The comments are mostly nice and supportive witch seems kind of unusual on a platform. Only found ya a couple of days ago but still in this lockdown so U been a lifesaver! No doubt✌❤ (NEVER ever thought I would watch any reaction vids but, I will watch you)
Maan when i got out of a real bad one sided relationship, The Offspring posted that quote a few days later "The More You Suffer, The More It Shows You Really Care" Its crazy how music can help you through bad times. I love The Offspring. Would love to see em in concert.
Hey , Mr. Video , Thank You for such a great reaction ; I always love your reactions - I feel like I'm hanging out at a friend's house ; the things you say , your thoughts and reactions , I kinda feel like you and I grew up in the same house or something - much love to you , my brother ❤️
"The more you suffer, the more it shows you really care, right?" Real shit right there. So many people believe that nonsense. Like, you're not a good person unless you let people hurt you? FUCK THAT SHIT!
Wow! I remember hearing blips of this on the radio going to work-- had no idea who the band was, this is awesome! And you always look like the most fun to hang out with xx
No way you struggled with no/low self esteem!! You’re my favorite reactor, super smart, you understand music like most reactors don’t. My favorite part of your intro is “It’s different links”. You’re freaking AWESOME! Now let’s watch some more movies together and rock out!
I hate the time difference lol totally missed your live last night as it was prob 2 here and I was sleeping like a baby!!!! Gleam Mr Video, GLEAM!! ✨⭐️🌟💫
So many words of wisdom from you today! I love your advice, I used to have low self-esteem too and it’s hard to get out of that but it’s awesome when you do. Glad you did! Come Out and Play is a good one by Offspring. Still as relevant today as it was in the 90’s. Sadly.
This song definitely hits different for me now than it did back in the day. I became that same no-esteem, self described loser portrayed in the lyrics for way too many years. Now I'm shaking that shit off finally and making a massive effort to change.
Offspring-"Kristy are you doing ok?" is my jam and a great song because it has my NAME in the title! Ha. It's more chill than the other songs youve done.
Yes, but i also suggest you to react to this one too of : UGLY KID JOE "Everything about You" , i tell you that you're gonna like it alot & laugh too. Trust me ! Ronny
I always liked this one. I had self-esteem issues until a good friend pointed out all my positive qualities and helped me change the way I think about myself.
Thumbs up! Great review, great piece of advise "Esteem to gleam". When are you doing another 80's marathon? I really enjoyed it last time. Cheers mate.
Sometimes you need a song that just acknowledges how you feel or what you’re going through at the time. Helps you to get out of the negativity by giving it a voice. Doesn’t hurt that the music is great and has so much energy.
Somebody probably mentioned this already but the lead vocalist and guitarist, Dexter Holland created and launched a hot sauce called Gringo Bandito in 2004. And a few years ago he attained a PhD degree in molecular biology. True story.
why has your volume been quieted on many songs??? I have to turn up and up my friend... loving some Leo!!! You are killing this Leo!/$%!!@@! Big Thumbs Up!!!
After watching this, watch their performance of Self Esteem at "Rock the Ring" in Germany. It's amazing seeing a million people bouncing and singing and moshing to the music.
This is my favorite song of theirs, You know Im more the old school, but I like to jam to everything...Cheer up Mr. V. or are you chillaxing some of that alcohol from last night off...It was good to see you out having good time. Kickin ass in pool. Peace til next time.
"I'm not a dweed... I'm just a sucker with no self esteem"... Mr. Video "Same thing" yes!!! Lol Love your reaction to this. You get it. Lol Great song with a great message. :)
Same here. It reminds me of my late nephew. He was non verbal autistic and passed away from Neuroblastoma at 14 in 2011. I can barely listen to it now. But still bawl like a baby. SUNSHOWER by Chris Cornell, I cannot listen to, especially now that Chris is gone too. My nephew liked Chris & Soundgarden. When we were alone. I'd put on Soundgarden real loud and we'd jump around like we were in a mosh pit. He would just be cracking up laughing.
@@ldybozz Awh I'm so sorry to hear! He was so young! I couldn't imagine, I have 4 nephews and 1 niece but my niece was born 3 months early and we almost lost her and my sister just a couple weeks before I lost my mom. She finally got to hold my niece a day before she died st 54 . From a aorta dissection, its rare but It broke my heart..it was so unexpected and she was all I had as a living parent. I'll never be over it. Sounds like your nephew had great taste in music for his age though! Chris Cornell had a phenomenal voice! One of a kind. Have you ever heard his cover of Nothing compares to you ? Its so beautiful and looks so effortless for him. I also love Temple of the dog- Hunger Strike from him! Hes a kegend.
@@kristinewhitfield4110 oh man that's rough. So sorry for your loss. My nephew loved Chris's voice. He would just stand & sway listening to him. I couldn't listen to anything for a couple of years. that had Chris's voice after my nephew passed. I started to in late 2016. Then he passed 3 months later. I felt guilty for not being able to listen to his music.
@@ldybozz Chris left behind an amazing legacy forsure. I'm shocked someone as young as your nephew knew who he was and was a fan. He had great taste and its rare to see that these days.
That BIONIC Records shirt though...I think I still have 2 or 3... Last time I checked, Bionic records still open in Cypress... Valley View and Ball Rd. Cypress Calif. where these guys started out and we went to the same schools...coincidentally of coarse
Back then, we teenagers had stuff like this to relate to. Maybe we weren't all quite as bad as this song describes, but most of us had self esteem issues. A lot of us were selling ourselves short in exchange for a little bit of attention from that girl or guy we had a crush on. And then we'd crash and burn, and listen to songs like this and we'd know we're not the only ones like this, and we'd move on. But now kids are told they can do anything. They're special. They can do no wrong. So what happens when things inevitably go wrong? Who they turn to? Who's there to tell them that everyone is a failure in one way or another? Might seem like a tiny thing, but you can see how different today's kids are, how disturbed they end up growing.
So many songs from this era spoke to young folk. Musicians were putting out songs that those of us regular people could relate to. I don't get that feeling from "most" songs in the last 20 yrs... until recently with stuff from ppl like Tom MacDonald.
Hey, last night was crazy. Did your phone die or something? I was the one that told Maggie you were worldwide. She thought I was a lady.😂 Hope you had fun though.

This song is VERY self aware. He isn't preaching any of this shit, he's putting it out there for you to learn. Loved your reaction!
This is my take too.
Dude, I swear like 90 percent of the songs you react to are straight out of my childhood. Trips me out.
Same🤍
That's because all us old farts are here tryna relive our youth. 😅
@@dipsydoodle7988 real talk...
@@dipsydoodle7988 🤚🏼😂🤣😅💨💗
@@dipsydoodle7988 So true! 😂. Thats why I watch him every day. He does ALL of the music that I still listen to. 80s and 90s are my Sh!T.
This song was thought of as humorous back in the day, but of course there's some pretty heavy truths sprinkled in there.
True
I always kinda thought Dexter was being satirical. Trying to highlight to people who do put up with that kinda shizz just how awful a situation it is, when you're the one hearing about it.
@@roseability86 probably. Sad part is some people do allow that and might now realize how messed up it is even if they do hear it.
Kind of like Everclear- Father of mine. Was a hot song on the radio but such a sad song
people nowadays take things a lot more seriously
Looking back from today, it's hard to believe just how awesome music was in the 90's across basically every genre.
Agreed. I miss the 90's!!! Rock, Grunge, Rap, Country... all so good.
And rest well all those who we lost
Oh yeah.. I was born in '77 and and arrived just at the right time to get the full package of diversity, universal love and equality from all across the globe showered over my because of Mtv during my high-school period.

La musica de los 90 es especial. Entre mas envejece, mas se valora.
"Get your self esteem to gleam" should be on an inspirational poster!
Fuck YES! It's brilliant.
Straight up!!! Give kids some confidence
would buy that shirt, poster, whatever
I just spit out my smoothie, reading this :)
Yes yes yes. Or a tee shirt. lol
Are you ok Leo? You haven't been acting like your usual upbeat self lately....just checking on you!! You're brilliant
I noticed that too. As his online mom(in my mind anyway) Im worried that something isn't quite right.
Late night last night 🍺
I saw that video too lol but this has been going on for a little bit
Hope the rise in fame isn't steering any negativity from others...if so...he's got the love and defense team here for the positivity
Yeah.. that intro YEE! has been coming in pretty weak lately. we just want Leo happy and healthy, whatever he needs to do.

I have known people like this over the years, and no matter how much you try and help them, they won't help themselves. Makes me sad
I know people who are being used big time by their bf or gf it's horrible and I point it out but they won't listen.
@@jakedull2553 Yep, all you can do is be there to pick up the pieces
I've been this guy over the years. It sucks.
It gets learned at a young age and is a hard habit to break.
Remember, were dealing with mental health issues here... Very easy to be on the outside looking in... It's already been said, a lot of the problems people with low self esteem have may stem from childhood/ bad experiences in life.
So glad I found ur channel. You seem like an awesome person and u never fail to cheer me up. Peace always my brother ✌🏼✌🏼
You've gotta do Come Out and Play by them
Yes please!!!!
Oh hell yeah
Yep
He'll love it!!
Bad habit too!
"Gotta Get Away" by The Offspring is my favourite by them. Has a great groove. It's not one of their most popular but definitely one of their best.
Bad Habit is another great one, just don't play it while you're driving 🤣😅😂
The whole Smash album is dope.
Gotta get away is good song.
Can’t Repeat, Come Out and Play, Gone Away, Why Don’t You Get a Job, Original Prankster, Defy You, Can’t Get My Head Around You...this band has so many good songs! Still upset I’ve never seen them perform live!
Me too!!!! Love them!!
I have, and they are pretty good live. The youtube videos here do not do them justice.
I saw em with 311 at VaBeach. Helluva show
I’ve seen them 3 times!!! Last time was small venue with 1500 people soooo good
He already did Why Don't You Get A Job
Forgot All I Want, Mota, I Choose, Bad Habit, their cover of I Wanna Be Sedated...
I got low self esteem and I can relate to this song
❤
The song is to help people with low self esteem wake up and find your self esteem.
@@LyranPrincess6913 hasn't helped me even after listening to it for over 20 years lol

Another great vid! My #1 would be The Offspring - Come Out and Play . It’s a good one! Have a great day ✌🏻
“Get your self esteem to gleam, let it shine” 🥲💎🤗💕
Offspring. "I Want You Bad " "Gone Away " "Original Prankster " " Come Out And Play " Some of their hits you haven't reacted to yet.
Gone Away is an awesome song. Lead singer wrote it for his girlfriend that was killed in a car accident. 🥺
Gone away is probably my favorite offspring song. I used to listen to it a lot after my best friend passed away 👍 good recommendation
Have you heard the Five Finger Death Punch cover of Gone Away? It hits hard!
Amazing song.
The pain in his singing is so real.
The piano version they just released is awesome too
I just gotta say I love this little community you created here. The comments are mostly nice and supportive witch seems kind of unusual on a platform. Only found ya a couple of days ago but still in this lockdown so U been a lifesaver! No doubt✌❤ (NEVER ever thought I would watch any reaction vids but, I will watch you)
Yess, been waiting for this one
I would ditch her and his friends for breaking the "bro code" lol.
Hoot hoo almost 200,000 Subscribers way to go Mr.video!!!!
Maan when i got out of a real bad one sided relationship, The Offspring posted that quote a few days later "The More You Suffer, The More It Shows You Really Care"
Its crazy how music can help you through bad times. I love The Offspring. Would love to see em in concert.
I see 199k come on 200k!! Leo you're the best! Love ya
"It's kinda hard when she's ready to go"
Me 20 years later : Oh I get it haha
When I got cheated on in HS, I listened to this song on loop. 94' was interesting...
'94 was one of the best years for music in the '90s
Hey , Mr. Video , Thank You for such a great reaction ; I always love your reactions - I feel like I'm hanging out at a friend's house ; the things you say , your thoughts and reactions , I kinda feel like you and I grew up in the same house or something - much love to you , my brother ❤️
Hell yeah!!! Nearly 30 years later and this still hits hard! Reminds me of all the concert I used to go to before everyone had camera phones
This has gotta be one of my favourite songs! Love your reaction :)
"The more you suffer, the more it shows you really care, right?"
Real shit right there. So many people believe that nonsense.
Like, you're not a good person unless you let people hurt you?
FUCK THAT SHIT!
Wow! I remember hearing blips of this on the radio going to work-- had no idea who the band was, this is awesome! And you always look like the most fun to hang out with xx
Thanks Mr.V, I needed that. Hope you have a blessed day

Come Out and Play is a good one by Offspring. Still as relevant today as it was in the 90’s. Sadly.
It's hard. This POV happens all the time. And it happens on all sides.

Been close to a lot of Kristys (sp?lol) in my life,I totally get that!
This was my Anthem song at one point in time. I still love it today❤️❤️😍😍

My first concert ever. 1997, I was 16 and this album just came out! They have been a really good band for a long time ✌️
Sometimes you need a song that just acknowledges how you feel or what you’re going through at the time. Helps you to get out of the negativity by giving it a voice. Doesn’t hurt that the music is great and has so much energy.
I think sometimes people forget it's called self esteem🔥🎶
Somebody probably mentioned this already but the lead vocalist and guitarist, Dexter Holland created and launched a hot sauce called Gringo Bandito in 2004. And a few years ago he attained a PhD degree in molecular biology. True story.
Love your reaction videos! Keep em comin'!
Mr. Video giving life advice throughout good music. It'⚡ brilliant!!!
I was one of the many people who requested this song, thank you!!
No self esteem, but high self awareress... its an honest song, thats what makes it so good
why has your volume been quieted on many songs??? I have to turn up and up my friend... loving some Leo!!!
You are killing this Leo!/$%!!@@!
Big Thumbs Up!!!
LOLLLLLLLLLLLLL bruh!! Yo you killing me! Made my day watching this!
WHERE'S MAGGIE?? 🤣🤣🤣 I'm glad you survived! I thought she was gonna kidnap you. 😁😁

Man, I Love *The Offspring* 🤟

One of my very favorite reactors listening to one of my very favorite songs??? Yeeee
"The Kids Aren't Alright" always hits home for me, my circle of people growing up kinda mirrors the subject matter in this song. A real tearjerker!
I died at your expression at “I wonder why she sleeps with my friends” part. 😂🤣
Whole album great!! High school memories!! 🥰 Still listen to all this music today😜
This is my favorite song of theirs, You know Im more the old school, but I like to jam to everything...Cheer up Mr. V. or are you chillaxing some of that alcohol from last night off...It was good to see you out having good time. Kickin ass in pool. Peace til next time.
Songs like this is one of the reasons I always flew solo in highschool... lol
"I'm not a dweed... I'm just a sucker with no self esteem"... Mr. Video "Same thing" yes!!! Lol Love your reaction to this. You get it. Lol Great song with a great message. :)
I may be dumb but I’m not a dweeb. Great lyrics. Great reaction to old Offspring when Dexter still had cornrows. Keep up the good work👍🏻🤘🏻🔥

So many songs from this era spoke to young folk. Musicians were putting out songs that those of us regular people could relate to. I don't get that feeling from "most" songs in the last 20 yrs... until recently with stuff from ppl like Tom MacDonald.
Always look forward to your YIPPP! When you jump on the couch! lol
I LOVE this album, wow, Green Day Dookie was eighth grade, and here's ninth grade all over again, The Offspring, I'm fifteen again!
Hey, last night was crazy. Did your phone die or something? I was the one that told Maggie you were worldwide. She thought I was a lady.😂 Hope you had fun though.
