What was their defining moment?
>>127954388This album.
I Miss You. It immortalized them.
When that guy started believing in aliens
>>127954407nobody ranks that higher than Enema
>>127954388I can't believe this song and music video are 15 years oldhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kMZ23T9VHE
>>127954467No but they should
>>127954388their s/t
>>127954388so they've got mark and travis standing on boxes here right?
>>127954388Blink classic era ratings:1-Selftitled 3.5/52-Uranus 3.5/53-Enema 3.5/54-Jacket 3.5/55-Ranch 3.5/56-Cat 3.5/57-Bus 3/5All of their albums from that era are good. Even Short Bus is an enjoyable release. Box Car Racer's LP is a 3.5/5, and would be number 2 if it was a Blink album.
>>127954388Prime blink was honestly on top of the world
>>127954388Self titled, Box Car Racer, Enema, Pants and Jacket, Dude Ranch then all the rest
>>127954467theyre pretty much equal. I can listen to both back to back without skipping anything. if I had to pick Id say toypaj is just slightly better.
>>127954388the real answer is all the small things on mtv and the radio which really solidified them as a big thing but then they followed that up with a ton of other hits that made them iconic.
Blink 182 and The Misfits are the only good punk bands
>>127959021Misfits are great, but how embarrassing to think there's only two good punk bands and that Blink would ever be one of them, maybe don't have the taste of a candyass
>>127959021Just making sure I have a controversial opinion.
>>127959056You sound like a fag
>>127954388if you're not a zoomer or younger you must know it was enema of course
>>127959290Nah, a fag would say "Blink 182 is one of the only good punk bands"Imagine having a girl's taste in punk, like maybe go listen to The Flesh Eaters or The Mentally Ill instead of mall punk
Fyre festival
>>127959380Nah. I'd rather not listen to some tryhard bullshit in your dogshit genre, fag.
>>127954416I like how the song starts with mark doing a corny reddit tier verse about nightmare before christmas shit all monotone and then tom comes in with his retard voice talking about eating bugs and shit and still totally mogs him
>>127960563It's a pretty shit song and it's one I could go the rest of my life never hearing again
>>127960776good. I will inform the aliens about this.
>>127960803Based insane kino machine
>>127954477Yeah I was gonna post Feeling This because at least in SoCal, that was the moment everyone felt like... Blink's cringe now. The "I'm feeling this!" meme felt desperate. The chorus is great and outro's great but everyone was like, oh we're watching these pop punk icons become kind of washed up.
>>127959380>Imagine having a girl's taste in punk, like maybe go listen to The Flesh Eaters or The Mentally Ill instead of mall punkYou don't like girls bro? Fag shit
>>127954477it's 22 years old
It's gotta be the What's My Age Again music video. It's pretty emblematic of what they're all about. They parodied it multiple times in later music videos, which suggests that they are aware that it is what they are known for.
>>127961089I bet SoCal during prime blink years was a halcyon, lucky you
>>127961739At the same time they seemed to hate the video for making them become known as the "naked band"If you watch blink shows from 96-98 they are often shirtless but after 99 they are never shirtless. The MV directors kid told them they were notorious for getting naked but after the video they seemed to reject the notionThey said somewhere that they got tired of people asking them to get naked, and is part of why they consciously made the decision to wear black shirts for TOYPAJ
>>127961840so you could say they were defined by the video?
>>127961863fuck I see what you've done
>>127954407>plane going into the twin towers symbolism>released: July 2001>lead singer is now in a "UFO disclosure" organisation with a bunch of ex-glowiesHmmm...
Enema of the State [MCA, 1999]Ignore the porn-movie cover except insofar as it conveys terror. These guys are so frightened of females that they turn down sure sex from one hussy on grounds of name-dropping and reject another for being too quick with the zipper. There's no macho camouflage--girlophobia is their great subject. And boy, have they worked up some terrific defenses. If preemptive jealousy doesn't do the trick, there's always suicide, or abduction by aliens. Yet note it well--because they're out front about their little problem, "Going Away to College" is the love song the Descendents put Green Day on earth to inspire. A-
>>127962153patricians know blink 182 are good
>>127960563WHAAAAR AR YEEEEEEEWAND OIM SOW SAWREEEEEEEEEEEabsolutely fucking timeless track
>>127954388when they stopped playing their shitty "music"
>>127956770Lmao youre rightTom is 6ft4, theres no way mark is even close to that tall
>>127956770>>127962581>6ft4 guy is called Tom The Long
I SHOW UP AT 3 AMSHE'S STILL UP WATCHING VACATIONAND I SEE HER PRETTY FACEIT TAKES ME AWAY TO A BETTER PLACEAND I KNOW THAT EVERYTHING KNOW THAT EVERYTHING KNOW THAT EVERYTHINGEVERYTHING'S GONNA BE FINEI KNOW THAT EVERYTHING KNOW THAT EVERYTHING KNOW THAT EVERYTHINGEVERYTHING'S GONNA BE FINEEEEEE
>>127962566Blink board, faggot. You can see yourself out.
>>127961531>liking girls means acting like themYou play dress up too? Own a bunch of Barbie dolls? Of course you're braindead enough to defend your gradeschool taste this way, you're having a stroke.
I don't know. I just know I like Damnit, Anthem part 2. Alien exist.So enema of the state, I guess.
>>127964189Again, you sound like a faggot and Blink obliterates your favorite band.
The midgets jumping on trampolines to All the Small Things. 1999 or 2000 VMAs, can't remember which.
>>127956770maybe tom is just really far behind them and its a perspective trick
>>127954388For me it was All The Small Things. Didn't know them before it and was very amused with the parodies in the video. The song itself wasnt anything special, just ok pop punk, but the rest of their material and stage energy is very nice
