Does It Offend You, Yeah? were a British dance-punk band from Reading, Berkshire. They played their final show on 12 December 2015 at the Electric Ballroom, Camden, London.

Does It Offend You, Yeah?, named for a quote from the BBC television series The Office, were formed in 2006 in Reading, UK by James Rushent and Dan Coop and soon joined by Rob Bloomfield and Morgan Quaintance.

They released their first album, You Have No Idea What You're Getting Yourself Into, in Spring 2008. It was written and performed by James Rushent, Rob Bloomfield and Dan Coop. Death From Above 1979 vocalist Sebastien Grainger performed the lead vocals on "Let's Make Out". In 2008, Does It Offend You, Yeah? was accompanied on stage by guitarist Morgan Quaintance.

Does It Offend You, Yeah? were the ninth most-listened-to new band of 2008 on last.fm and were included in the best alternative music list of 2008 on iTunes USA. They were announced as a Rolling Stone breaking Artist in 2008.

In 2009, Chloe Duveaux (from Elle Milano) and Matty Derham (from Fields) joined the band. Their follow up album, Don't Say We Didn't Warn You, was released in 2011, and peaked at number 3 in the UK Dance chart and number 11 in the Indie chart.

Some have compared them to dance acts like Daft Punk, Justice, and Digitalism, as well as others like Rage Against the Machine.NME compares them to bands like Muse due to their heavier, more "live" sound. The group is known for its raucous live shows, which often end with stage diving and broken instruments. Vocalist James Rushent would sometimes destroy the drumkit by running and diving into it.
