Most of the rest of this album, I agree. This song however, sounds nothing like punk rock to me. The lyrics have the right feel. But it sounds like the experimental track that the George Harrison fan in the band wrote while coming down on some psychedelic…which is probably why I love it.
Since it came out I have been playing this song for unknowing listeners, and they never guess The Offspring until Dexter starts singing (and even then it’s after multiple guesses).
In another comment, I quoted the wiki article that I pulled the genre from.
Ahh, I had forgotten about the beginning and also the hidden track. I buy CD’s but I use a PC or mp3 player for sound these days so I rip it before shelving it. I separated my mp3 track into 3 different tracks years ago. It was weird at the office when my computer would play mariachi music. I’m listening to it again in order now. Yeah, I like the extreme transitions in the single track. A numbing followed by a sock in the face and then finished with a raspberry. Kind of a 1-2-3 punch.
This is punk rock all day long, but it’s a great song on a great album from an epic band.

Yeah, I’m onboard now.
