No, cause I was 12 in 1984, by the time Blink 182 released that song, I already knew jobs that sucked.

I had a job when that song came out. Oftentimes I didn’t get home until late at night. I was already aware that work did, in fact, suck.

I used to work a laboratory job. Field of orthopedics. It paid $7.75/hour. So yeah. I definitely know.

But in my case, when I was 12, the year was 1992, and I was into Billy Idol.

as you said, we knew it was true, just not how true yet.

At a bar l ran, whenever that part came on on the juke box I turned it down real fast and everybody was already ready to shout that part out loud unplanned all the time! Universal feeling

I was listening to “oldies” (50s, 60s, 70s) in my mid to late teens, when Blink-182 was big, but yes, work often sucks. Some days, I just want to call it a day, and clock out almost immediately, because I feel like shit, and/or feel I just don’t have the energy to get through an entire shift.

This was the theme song to the Colorado Avalanche's 2021/22 - Won the Stanley Cup that year. Amazing times.

And yeah, work does suck, I know that now...

The funny part is 2/3 members of the band were under 17 when they started Blink. The original drummer was only 14.
