Holland started a punk band named Manic Subsidal in 1984 with his friend and cross-country teammate Greg K. Holland played the drums. The band was formed when they failed to get into a Social Distortion concert. After James Lilja was hired as their drummer, Holland switched to vocals and guitars. Noodles then joined on guitar, and Manic Subsidal changed their name to the Offspring in 1986. After recording a demo in 1988,[http://www.nipp.com/artists/detail/the-offspring The Offspring] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110719183346/http://www.nipp.com/artists/detail/the-offspring |date=July 19, 2011 }} at NIPP, obtained November 10, 2007. the Offspring signed a deal with a small-time independent record label, Nemesis Records, for whom they recorded their first full-length album, The Offspring, in March 1989.

In 1991, the Offspring signed with Epitaph Records (home of Bad Religion, L7, NOFX, Pennywise and other similar bands). Their first release on the label was Ignition, which was released in 1992. Their last album for that label was 1994's Smash, which still holds the world record for most sales of an album on an independent label.{{Cite web |title=Greatest Hits Bio (2005) |url=http://www.offspring.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/Offspring.woa/wa/bio |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070311090427/http://www.offspring.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/Offspring.woa/wa/bio |archive-date=March 11, 2007 |access-date=August 18, 2010 |publisher=Offspring.com}} The band then signed with Columbia Records in 1996 (after Brett Gurewitz, owner of Epitaph and guitarist for Bad Religion, sold the contract to Columbia, Holland claims){{Cite web |date=January 21, 2007 |title=Dexter Holland's letter to the Offspring mailing list |url=http://members.aol.com/delirium4u/offspring/letter1.txt |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070121115627/http://members.aol.com/delirium4u/offspring/letter1.txt |archive-date=January 21, 2007 |access-date=November 4, 2011 }} for whom they released their next six albums, Ixnay on the Hombre (1997), Americana (1998), Conspiracy of One (2000), Splinter (2003), Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace (2008) and Days Go By (2012).

In a 1995 interview, Holland said that he would rather be a professor at a university than play music by the time he turns 40.

Holland was a doctoral student at the Laboratory of Viral Oncology and Proteomics Research, Keck School of Medicine, where he was supervised by Professor Suraiya Rasheed.Archived at [https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/N46mokeEZxI Ghostarchive]{{cbignore}} and the {{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20140329225030/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N46mokeEZxI Wayback Machine]}}{{cbignore}}: {{Cite web |last=Suzy Tilley |date=March 22, 2013 |title=Dexter Holland Discusses His Recently Published Paper 3/22/2013 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N46mokeEZxI |via=YouTube}}{{cbignore}} In March 2013, Holland and co-authors published a paper in PLoS One regarding microRNA in HIV genomes,{{Cite web |date=March 21, 2013 |title=Dexter Holland from The Offspring Publishes Research Paper…What the Heck Is It About? |url=http://kroq.cbslocal.com/2013/03/21/dexter-holland-from-the-offspring-publishes-research-paper-what-the-heck-is-it-about/ |access-date=May 22, 2013 |publisher=KROQ |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170615175415/http://kroq.cbslocal.com/2013/03/21/dexter-holland-from-the-offspring-publishes-research-paper-what-the-heck-is-it-about/ |archivedate=June 15, 2017}} titled "Identification of Human MicroRNA-Like Sequences Embedded within the Protein-Encoding Genes of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus".{{Cite journal |last1=Holland |first1=Bryan |last2=Wong |first2=Jonathan |last3=Li |first3=Meng |last4=Rasheed |first4=Suraiya |year=2013 |title=Identification of Human MicroRNA-Like Sequences Embedded within the Protein-Encoding Genes of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus |journal=PLOS ONE |volume=8 |issue=3 |pages=1–10 |bibcode=2013PLoSO...858586H |doi=10.1371/journal.pone.0058586 |pmc=3592801 |pmid=23520522 |doi-access=free}} The original academic paper describes the use of computational molecular biological (in silico) approaches to identify microRNA-like sequences in HIV.

In 2004, Holland launched his own brand of hot sauce called Gringo Bandito.{{Cite web |date=June 15, 2008 |title=Why don't you get a job? by Geoff Boucher, LA Times, June 15, 2008 |url=https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/la-ca-offspring15-2008jun15,0,1497135.story |access-date=November 4, 2011 |website=Los Angeles Times}} The label depicts Holland with bandoliers, revolvers, a sombrero and shades, a design that OC Weekly magazine described as parodying the logo for Tapatío hot sauce or Pancho Villa.{{Cite web |date=March 4, 2010 |title=How Far Can Dexter Holland's Gringo Bandito Go? |url=http://www.ocweekly.com/2010-03-04/food/dexter-holland-gringo-bandito/full/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141113154536/http://www.ocweekly.com/2010-03-04/food/dexter-holland-gringo-bandito/full/ |archive-date=November 13, 2014 |website=OC Weekly }} Holland, who grew up in Southern California where Mexican cuisine is considered a "part of the way of life", wondered "if [he] could do [a hot sauce] better".{{Cite web |last=Boucher |first=Geoff |date=January 7, 2009 |title=Rocker Dexter Holland's spicy offspring: Gringo Bandito hot sauce |url=https://www.latimes.com/features/la-fo-hotsauce7-2009jan07,0,5131325.story#axzz2nVm5mJYV |website=Los Angeles Times}}

On the conception of the hot sauce, Holland states that in the early 2000s, while eating Mexican food, he began to read the label of a bottle of Tapatío; "It just clicked that I had to make one. People who like hot sauce are a certain type of people. They're passionate. They'll have a bottle with them wherever they go. I'm one of those people. And when I'm into something, I really get into it. It's like my music—I liked records, so I learned how to play a guitar. After that? A band."

It has sold over a million bottles and is available in over 500 restaurants and 7,000 stores, including being a top-ranked hot sauce on Amazon.

The headquarters for Gringo Bandito are located in a Huntington Beach industrial park, next to the Offspring's recording studio.

In 1997, Holland and former Dead Kennedys singer Jello Biafra teamed up to form the FSU Foundation, which raised funds through charity concerts. The foundation organized benefit shows to raise money for various charities including AIDS Project Los Angeles, Poor People's United Fund, Trees Foundation, and Amnesty International.{{Cite web |title=Jello Biafra And Dexter Holland Get Charitable |website=MTV|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1425698/jello-biafra-dexter-holland-get-charitable.jhtml|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140219103318/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1425698/jello-biafra-dexter-holland-get-charitable.jhtml|url-status=dead|archive-date=February 19, 2014}}
