American pop-punk band from San Diego whose late-1990s/early-2000s albums (Enema of the State, Take Off Your Pants and Jacket) defined a generation of American suburban teenage experience and helped establish pop-punk as a mainstream genre.
Produced the defining soundtrack of late-millennial suburban adolescent experience — their combination of juvenile humor and genuine emotional vulnerability (All the Small Things, Adam's Song) capturing something authentic about teenage emotional life — making them a lasting cultural touchstone for anyone who grew up in the late 1990s.
