Belle & Sebastian vs. The Offspring

Submitted by Max

Here we have a track from indie-pop heroes Belle & Sebastian, from their very first EP “Dog on Wheels.” Released a few years later: The Offspring “Americana,” which gained enormous commercial success. Both songs are dope, but the themes are strikingly similar. You be the judge…

Belle & Sebastian - "String Bean Jean" (1997)
The Offspring - "The Kids Aren't Alright" (1999)

    Also the opening theme to the “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” TV series by Nerf Herder. Especially noticeable vs. the beginning of The Kids Aren’t Alright.

    I always thought that Offspring song sounded like a cross between ‘Shot By Both Sides’ by Magazine and the theme from ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ by Nerf Herder.
