SELF ESTEEM
“Self Esteem” is a song by the American punk rock group the Offspring, released as the second single from their third studio album Smash. The song was a worldwide hit, reaching number 1 in Latvia, Norway, and Sweden and was one of the most successful singles released by the band. “Self Esteem” was nominated for the 1995 MTV Europe Music Awards for Best Song, but did not win. The song also appears as the third track on their Greatest Hits (2005). (More from Wikipedia)
But Green Day is easy; everybody knows about them. When I tried to come up with other punk revival bands to talk about in this post, I started coming up short. The Wikipedia article mentions: “Green Day was widely credited, alongside fellow California punk bands Sublime, Bad Religion, the Offspring, and Rancid, with popularizing and reviving mainstream interest in punk rock in the United States.” I really don’t know much about those four bands other than a few stray tracks, like the Offspring song “Self Esteem”.
