Band Name Origins:
- Manic Subsidal were a hardcore punk band, based around a band called "Social Distortion" Dextor's favourite band. They were angry and raw. Then in the media a film was released called "The Offspring". It was about a kid who was an offspring and was angry but changed his life. Manic Subsidal then decided it was time for them to change their style, they weren't so angry afterall. Hence the name "The Offspring". Submitted by: bozo
- Obviously, you guy don't know anything about The Offspring. They used to be called "manic subsidal." Dexter later changed the name to The Offspring, because it was easier to say. Submitted by: Sonia
