Nah Offspring after an album were just a pop band with kinda sorta punk aesthetics that were so watered down that to call them punk would be calling Load and Reload metal. It was still fun but definitely not punk. I'd still take Conspiracy of One over plenty of punk though cause it was a brilliant pop record.
