Alphabet Conspiracy - Blink 182

Until you start seeing the exact same symbolism with almost every famous group or person then realize that there is no such thing as coincidence after so many...

@@Son-Of-David1990hear that?? That was the sound of the joke flying right over your head

[@Son-Of-David1990]

@arrrrrran3043 oh no i got the joke!! I used to be blink obsessed!! But the fact is, is they are apart of it now unfortunately as much as i wanted to deny it, the facts and symbolism lie in their newest music videos now..they bucked it for he longest time and gave in.

[@ourcore]

I can confirm the "G" was intentionally added to follow the conspiracy, but like you said, before that it was just organic. Some people also say there's a hidden capital "H" in the "b" on the untitled album

[@alvinsoares]

The H is in the smiley face right eye

[@Son-Of-David1990]

The H is in the circle of the "b" in blink on self titled. L and M are on California more hard to find then "(N)ine comes out, now "(O)ne more time" is coming.

[@brianwolf399]

Actually the b in the greatest hits has the I if you look on the top of the letter b there is a vertical line and the two horizontal lines on top of and below it make out the I

[@seralouise.]

[@vinilopez4566]

i think mark kinda might have hinted that this alphabet myth is true...in 2011 he did a live stream before an interview and fans asked him alot of stuff, this was a few days after neighborhood was released...a fan asked him "is there a letter L on the cover album" and mark said "no..its not time for L..its time for j" then he started thinking out loud "is it time for j?" then he murmured all the discography from buddha to greatest hits" and said "yeah definitely j"..so yeah its probably true

[@182collector4]

Ha that's coool, havn't seen that interview. I agree some of the letters are placed. Just havnt seen a convincing H and dont think they started from day one with that plan. Also what are your thoughts on DED and California?

[@vinilopez4566]

yeah, you can find the of that live stream on youtube, just search "mark hoppus on justin.tv 2011" its like split in 3 parts, it was really cool....now my thoughts DED and california, definitely liked DED over neighborhoods, even though it was shorter record, it kinda felt it had more of collective effort and a better middle ground from all members, from what i heard tom spend very little time with mark and travis when he did neighborhoods and wasnt around to aprove mixes, thats kinda of why to me that record didnt have a consistent sound, tom wanted something more experimental and less traditional, mark and travis wanted a more classic sound and faster paced, and some of the elements tom brought from AVA worked and some didnt, but still he did a good job on the lyrics for that record , but for dogs eating dogs the three of them together at all time and we got a better album cause of that. as for california i think i heard it a bit to much when it came out and dont listen to it as much, definitely enjoy way more the deluxe songs over the regular record...still the main to issues that i had with that record was repetition, it tried too much to replicate the enema and take of formula it was written too fast and repeated some themes a little too much. They used the same riff too many times and they sang all the songs together in the same way (mark starting the song, matt singings the first chorus and second verse, then the naa naas come in, etc). Second issue, matt skiba didnt take as much chances as i would have hoped, i was so in for a new blink 182 album with matt, he is one of my favorite lyricist but what he delivered was very little. probably he was afraid to take blink into very dark themes like he does in alkaline trio..but frankly you can see so much a difference on matts writing with california and the few songs they released from "is this thing cursed" , you can feel so much more input from him my other issue ...john feldmann, i think he is an amazing song writer, i love his early goldfinger work, and he did a few good things for california, its thanks to him that he have songs like home is such a lonely place and san diego( which is among my 3 favorite blink songs of all time with apple shampoo and im lost without you) but still, his work ended up giving us a record that sounded too polished and synthetic at times, it lacked some of the raw elements that would make a punk/roc record great. i think he had too much input in the making of the record which he should have just been there to help, not to take over. if you ask me blink could do an amazing record with matt if, 1. they dont try to do the enema formula, that might have worked in 1999 but in 2018 we need a record with more thought and more emotion, talking about being 17 is ok for a few songs but not for an entire record, and drop the naa naas 2. they allow all of the members to have more input, matt might not be as creative on riffs like tom was, but he can do amazing lyrics let him elaborate on that 3. work with a producer like bill stevenson, he produced alkaline trios "my shame is tru"e and many other punk records from nofx, descendents, lagwagon, rise against...he might know how to properly record and produce a punk record a little better than john those are my thoughts on cali, i dont hate it but only see myself hearing some of the deluxe songs like good old days, long lost feeling, san diego and parking lot, i hope the next record will have more of matts input and that feldmann doesnt over do it this time...i hope they really listen to their fans

182 Collector the alphabet works up until take off ur pants album, which was released a few months before

[@newman-dw7ld]

"G" Green?

[@newman-dw7ld]

The "F" is for Travis Barker's "famous stars and straps".

[@garyhampton540]

This is going to sound like internet lies, I know…but I posted a blog around late 2000/early 2001 about this after the live album came out, I was still in elementary school. I told my friends “the next blink album will have a G on it” and when it was true I was so excited. It’s still the most viewed blog post and still gets hits. I was just a kid who saw a pattern and posted about it. I’ve been told I was the first to share this theory and I have to admit I’m fairly proud of it. There’s even an interview with Mark where he said it wasn’t intentional until they read a blog post about it and decided to keep it up which would be amazing if it’s true.

[@182collector4]

You sound like Tom! Haha that's a cool story tho

[@Son-Of-David1990]

Of course they will use that excuse to keep it up lol i believe you for sure, but there is definitely more sinister at play with this and use your blog as the scapegoat. Trust me, i used to be a blink obsessed fan but i see it still in lots of musicians and bands, especially now with new pop stars...actually they are just more open about being satanic than using subliminal messaging since time is almost up. Look at lil uzi vert (lilucy-fer) Travis Scott etc... its all filled with open satanic stuff. Don't even need to search for it anymore. Just look at the stage and entrance to "astro world" (astral world)..its all in our faces! Truth is stranger than fiction

annoys me how the greatest hits is expected to have a letter.

[@182collector4]

Yes agreed. I'm sure that was a cash grab by the record label beacause of the band splitting up. Doubt the band had much input or care about that one.

Enema of the State was also a play on the film Enemy of the State, which was popular when recording.

[@dougsmith4602]

Don’t forget the enema strikes back as a nod to star wars haha

[@dfshjb44]

The F on travis's drum on the cover of the mark, tom and travis show is just travis's company he started around that time Famous stars and straps. IMO it's just a happy accident that it aligns with the alphabet conspiracy; it was just self promotion. My other issue is if people are counting Flyswatter as an album to get the A from, what about They Came to Conquer Uranus? A demo counts but an EP doesn't? In reality it's just some silly fun for us fans to ponder

[@baby_joe]

It could be, but it isn't.

[@haro657]

The G was for the GREEN version of the album. The jacket version was GREEN. The G on the jacket is obviously for GREEN

[@deathmachinestar]

The government was behind Blink-182

[@Jez4prez1]

yer Blink is a military psyops band, used to brainwash the kids and increase recruitment. In later years the gov then used Tom to release UFO videos.

[@radioffvoicesnoysyvisionna7643]

The g on the jacket could stand for "green"

[@lakewestchase]

It’s for freemasonry Tom is one. The album cover is predicting 9-11 months before it happened

[@jmentone]

I’m convinced there’s a deeper message behind the ‘G’. Album covers have a bunch of hidden stuff, and I think one of the the members purposely wanted it there, maybe Mark bc he was assigned the Jacket. 🤷‍♂️

[@Jez4prez1]

another idea is Tom just put the G on the jacket since G is masonic symbol, and Tom legit went thru a Freemason phase and joined a lodge. There are photos online of him in the attire lol.

[@lakewestchase]

@@Jez4prez1the pants are the twin towers. Masons knew of 9-11 before hand.

[@rinzler4841]

i think that they didnt continue it on untitled because you can even see the pink drips of paint trying to continue to the blue paint as if it was signifying the H...i think they dropped it though after untitled cause tom left the band

[@stingusanddropdead]

Self titled album the H is in the blue paint stroke on the left, at the bottom

[@ericcarson4513]

Between Flyswatter and Buddha they made Demo#2 (aka 21 Days) so that throws the whole thing off.

[@182collector4]

I don't think that one would be included just like the short bus EP and they came to conquer Uranus releases are not part of it.

Honestly it doesn't even work for Buddha which ruins this whole theory. Originally Buddha didn't even have a name, just a picture of Buddha and "Blink" on it. It was later named Buddha by fans to refer to it and thus was named Buddha for reissue. Cool coincidence mixed with a lot of stretches, you'll find anything if you search for it.
