Any reason why the band is referred to as plural? In American english, entities and groups are singular...i.e. "The Offspring IS" or "The Offspring HAS" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.91.233.5 (talk) 18:59, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Post-grunge
Please stop adding this genre to the infobox. It is not sourced. Who ever keeps doing this will be reported for vandalism. Alex (talk) 20:22, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Where was the band formed?
Huntington Beach? Garden Grove? I can't find sources for either city.Hoponpop69 (talk) 21:18, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] POV
'"Gone Away" appears on Ixnay on the Hombre and is arguably one of the best songs released by Offspring.' Isn't that a very POV statement to make. DavidJJJ (talk) 18:00, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, it's definitely a POV statement to make. I just removed it. Alex (talk) 19:42, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] whoa
"Many of their songs contain refrains of "whoas""
add self esteem to this list —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.16.160.17 ([[User talk:86.16.160.17|talk- Template:UnsignedIP -->
[edit] Why "breakthrough success" should have it's name changed or be split into two sections
Breakthrough implys you all of a sudden breakthrough into the mainstream, you can not be a breakthrough sucess for 8 years, eventually you become an established act. If no one objects I'm going to split this into two sections.Hoponpop69 (talk) 23:15, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
I have no objection Jacknife737 (talk) 19:52, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Genre(s)
I thought The Offspring is Punk rock, Hardcore punk and Alternative rock. I think we should add Hardcore and Alternative in the Infobox.
A new genre can be added to the infobox, as long as there is a source provided. Jacknife737 (talk) 17:36, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
- I added Alternative rock and Post-grunge because their music is described as both on allmusic.com. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.173.19.156 (talk) 12:16, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Concert dates in the main article
There are lots of these under the RAFRAG section; I think they are inappropriate for the main article. There is a Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace Tour page where they are contained so why not keep them there. Is it really necessary to know every single concert that The Offspring plays in?--The Skeleton (talk) 13:04, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
No objections? Then I'll remove most of them and put a link to the tour page.--The Skeleton (talk) 15:25, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
