In three years, Ron Welty, who was founding his own band Steady Ground, left the command. In 2000, The Offspring recorded Conspiracy Of One with the single Original Prankster. The winding pop punk hit Pretty Fly (For A White Guy), aggressive Why Don't You Get A Job and disturbing track The Kids Aren't Alright were the public's favorites for the tunes and satiric texts. In their songs the artists touch upon various themes from personal relations to the social processes in the USA - this topic was especially developed on the Americana disc, which saw light in 1998. The Offspring toured again and issued the Ixnay On The Hombre long-play with hits All I Want, Gone Away and I Choose.

During the record of the disc, the collective's relations with Tom Wilson began to fade and musicians decided to establish their own label Nitro Records - for now, Dexter is solely responsible for the studio. Such punk rock hits as Come Out And Play, Self Esteem and Gotta Get Away brought the band to the mainstream fame. In 1994, the artists came back with the glorious Smash, which became the biggest selling independent release in the world. Soon after the release, The Offspring began a two-year tour in the support of the disc. The popularity of this album exceeded all the hopes of the band. In 1992, the collective came back to the studio with Wilson in order to record Ignition. The band headed on a tour, but it was cut after Wasserman was stabbed during one of the benefit concerts.

In 1989, The Offspring recorded the debut eponymous album, produced by Tom Wilson - known for his work with Social Distortion, The Vandals and Dead Kennedys. However, Lilja did not stay in the band for long - after the first single I'll Be Waiting/Blackball he was substituted by Ron Welty. In 1985, the command changed the title for The Offspring. Soon Thompson and Benton left the collective and Holland became the lead vocalist, while James Lilja replaced Benton on drums. The other members of Manic Subsidal, as the artists initially called the group, became Doug Thompson, Kevin Noodles Wasserman and Jim Benton. In 1984, guitarist Bryan Dexter Holland and bassist Gregory Kriesel, more known as Greg K., decided to create their own punk band after they both were refused to enter the Social Distortion performance.
