Nitro-dosed with youthful SoCal punk energy, road rage and even aggressively surf-styled exotica, the Offspring’s Smash absolutely atomized the pop landscape when it became the surprise hit of 1994 — a true smash, if you will. Full of infectious, anti-gun anthems (“Come Out and Play”), complicated teenage feelings (“Self Esteem”) and speed-locked punk riffing (“Smash”), the Offspring’s 11-million-selling masterstroke for Epitaph Records basically funded a wave of American pop-punk releases for the rest of the decade.
