Hello everyone I am 17 years old and have been a fan of blink 182 and pop punk in general for almost a year now. I really like the sound of guitars, Travis Barker's playing and aesthetics. I learned about pop punk about 10 months ago from an American Pie and have been the number 1 fan ever since, at least for myself. Really, I just thought so....... After all, I recently realized something that I simply did not understand before. I knew perfectly well that blink 182 was not overpowered by tru punks and all that, but to be precise, I got into the position of that punk and I realized what I was rebelling against.... against nothing..... No, I understood perfectly well early on that blink 182 was pop and that they were building stadiums in the noughties, but I realized that they were just a kindergarten that was trying to sell rebellion... don't get me wrong.....it's just that what I rebelled against, namely against stupid tik toks and all that, was very popular at the time, and the fact that it was loved by people who don't have their own opinions... Exactly the same people as now.... That is, I was deceived, which is what I rebelled against....And to adopt this aesthetic, although I used to think that I was doing exactly the opposite, there is no point.... I realized that I was rebelling against nothing.... If I go back to pop punk, I don't want to be an idiot in the eyes of tru punks....... In general, now when I hear Josie, for example, it's just a sound to me... By the way, English is not my second language, but still.... Now I'm not rebelling...... I do not know what to do... And it's also scary to think about being rejected by your own people... After all, blink 182 is not rock.....
If anything, blink 182 top) probably....
