The Offspring is an American punk rock group who have been performing for over 30 years. It consists of Brian "Dexter" Holland (singer and songwriter), Kevin "Noodles" Wasserman (guitars), Greg "K" Kriesel (bass) and various drummers. Before they played music for a living, Dexter was in college studying microbiology, and Noodles was a janitor at an elementary school. However, when their music started becoming more and more popular, the two decided to leave their jobs to pursue their music career. They are known for songs such as "Come Out and Play (Keep Them Separated)", "Self Esteem", "Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)", and "The Kids Aren't Alright". Their debut album was their self-titled album.

In the world of video games, they are best known for having their songs featured in the Crazy Taxi games.

Note: Since The Offspring is not a video game music composer, their gameography is in alphabetical order.
