Blink 182 was considered punk rock from the early Chesire Cat and Budha days and has followed them ever since. Whether or not they deserve the title now is a completely different story. However, record labels, cd compilations, the vans warped tour...etc etc still recognize them to be a punk rock band. If you disagree, by all means, take it up with them.And from now on...don't give me a vocab lesson. I know what punk is. And it's not just about being non-conformist, it's about doing what you want to do and not giving a sh!t what people think of it. It's not about always being i hate this and i hate that and angry all the time...people shouldn't have to always be stressed out, they need to learn to kick back and just be stupid once and a while. That's what Blink 182 does. They play the music from the heart, they have fun, and they don't give a sh!t what people think. That is punk.
I really agree with you bc what the f!ck is punk anymore. There is no real def bc everyone calls everyone a poser nowadays.

im kinda ashamed to say this .. but blink 182 is one of my fav bands .......
Me too 😮 😮
But I really liked their last album in that I think they've grown up somewhat... I like their stupid, funny, pointless songs they've always been doing, but it's good to see them finally doing something serious with their music. Some of the lyrics actually have meaning, which is a major jump from what they were doing before.

Blink 182......punk rock? You have been hit in the head one too many times. Punk is not a word used to describe how many tatoos you have or the hairstyle you choose to wear. It's a word used to describe raw, non-conformist, buck the system music. Just thought I'd let you know that.
Everything that gets played is "pop" music because "pop" simply means "popular" and there is nothing wrong with "popular" music.
There is no such thing as punk anymore. Music is an evolving thing, and as such, the bands have evolved as well. That is why bands like Good Charlotte or New Found Glory(who is my favorite band) are not punk, nor do they call themselves punk. Punk is, in fact, a feeling, or a lifestyle if you will. It is not a music genre, though I know it has been characterized as such. Now, if you have a genuine love for the music that is considered "punk" then I believe you have earned the title "punk."
I NEVER call anybody a poser unless I know them, for the simple fact that I have no idea if they really love the music or not.
Blink 182 is also one of my favorite bands, and while they may have grown up in the studio, I know for sure that their live shows are going to be just as hillarious and joke-filled as they ever were.
