May 24th.
Early, May 24, several tweetizens (members of twitter) declared May 24 blink-182 day for an undeclared reason.
Mark Hoppus, a blink-182 member, did not reject it, but he did recognize it.
This compliment originates from the American band Blink 182 which have had hit singles, albums and sell out tours world wide. This phrase is used to describe a song or band that have similar characteristics to Blink 182, this can including original and quirky lyrics, similar guitar riffs/drum beats etc or even the look and personality of the band.
An individual person can also be complimented using this expression, this usually refers to their dress, which would most likely be band or quiky t-shirts, baggy or cropped trousers, a sideways caps and possibly similar hair to a band member and even piecings and/or tattoos. There are also two clothing lables owned and designed by the band members, Atticus clothing and Stars and Straps.
"I really love that new band they're really Blink-182ish."
Tom, Mark and Travis.
Used to be funny, now they're trying too hard to be Serious. I just wish they'd go back to their stupid "Lets run around town naked" days.
Blink182 isn't punk.
But the members of the band are.
Travis also plays Drums for The Transplants, with Tim Armstrong (Singer from Rancid) (Guitar and Vocals) and Skinhead Rob (Vocals).
