A band that everyone spends time arguing about,.. constantly.
Truth is, Blink-182 is just a fun band. People run around saying that their songs are stupid, and that they ruined "punk" music. However, as far as i know, blink-182 has never called themselves "Punk" or anything in that range.
Also: "Punk is in the eye of the beholder" keep that in mind.
Personally, *I* wouldn't describe them as punk (early stuff, maybe), either way, it's still great.
Their music embodies the childhoods of children all over america, and parts of Peru.
Although their early music may be called "easy" or "skilless" alot of their songs actually have require a large pool of musical ability. Carousel (an early song, has a killer bass part that takes some definite skill) as well as 'Man overboard'- a later song.
Any song from the "enema of state" album onward has a definitly wicked drumming part.
As far as guitar goes, it might not be complicated, but it really does MAKE the song. Which is all that matters. And that's what makes Tom a GREAT guitarist.
They where almost sued for using the name "Blink" (that they had started under) So they where forced to change their name,
they chose:
Blink *182*.
No one really knows why they chose Blink-182,
but a common theory is because
that is the number of times Tony Montana said "FUCK!" in the movie Scarface.

"if young love is just a game then
i must have missed the kick off"
-blink 182, "going away to college"
"I remember shots, without a chaser
absent minds thoughts, now you're a stranger
Cover up the scars
Put on your game face
Left you in a bar
To try and save face"

blink-182 is a kick-ass band, consisting of the amazingly attractive Tom DeLonge, very hott Mark Hoppus, and Meet the Barkers star, Travis Barker. They write awesome music with amazing lyrics but many people can't appreciate them because of their lack to see past the word punk and have to disagree with their music because they "aren't punk enough." blink-182 makes awesome points that are often overseen because of who they are. They sing, have amazing drums and awesome guitar and bass playing and they rock. Everyone should love them.
blink-182 is such an amazing band! I love them!
