[@callingtwch]

I'm glad they are playing and having fun. You can just feel the energy.

[@Blinkptx]

This comment section is so much nicer than Reddit, and I love it. Feels great to see so many people loving Blink again. I've loved every new song and I can't wait for the 20th!

[@SalveASMR]

Reddit always feel the need to nitpick and they always thought that they are better than the band itself. They forgot to have fun.

[@Blinkptx]

@SalveASMR Seriously! Lol I have a hobby that I make videos of, and of all the sites I post my vids on, Reddit is the only one where I've ever received negative comments. Lol It can be such a toxic place.

[@tracenewbolds2573]

This song rocks. Feels good to see Blink-182 come out with some bangers in times like these. The vibes this song is giving me is "just smile man be happy I know time's are crappy rn but you dont live forever so fuck it bro have fun". ❤

[@caioperes4004]

Blink's video is genius. They are playing with punk nostalgia, sure. But it's way more than this if we think that they were first playing with their band's history in One More Time. This video is putting Blink's history into the history of punk. By making their video a parody of the Ramones' video, they are also highlighting the staggering contrast between the lyrics of I Wanna Be Sedated with their fun and carefree song. And I think this contrast is what makes Blink's video quite genius. The new wave of pop punk is missing the fun of the first generation of pop punk. Of course, this is a reflection of pop culture in general. So, Blink is reclaiming the fun and silly roots of pop punk as part of the history of punk rock by mimicking the Ramones' video. This is artistically genius, but also have a relevant message for the pop culture in general.

You really hyper analyzed a blink song lol

[@ThePokeBellz]

You mailed it right on the head man! This made the video so much cooler than just watching it without context

[@pickles224]

I agree. Pop-punk over the last couple years has become more about stories of lonely guys and less about rock shows and first dates. I think that’s why Tickets to my Downfall succeeded. It had a lot of that youthful energy pop-punk was missing at the time.

[@neversobad]

Pop Punk was the Hair Metal of the 2000s. Green Day were Aerosmith, Blink were Motley Crue, Sum 41 were Poison and Travis Barker was Tommy Lee.

[@skyDN1974]

I disagree. I think NFG was Guns n Roses, Blink was Van Halen, and Sum 41 was Motley Crue

[@Gabingus69]

Cool analogy to ponder

[@shanetrain90]

Folks that are not happy with the Ole just aren't understanding Blink's genius with puns. The song is about getting laid all night long (o lay) "Ole Ole Ole doin' it all night long" You're welcome!

[@darrenkrivit6854]

Like in Bored to Death "and I come over and over and over"😅

[@shanetrain90]

@darrenkrivit6854 Bruh I don't know why I didn't catch that before but that's hilarious!!😂😂😂

[@CalebHimself]

The fact that blink can come back and still drop bangers is so great. They’re back and better than ever imo 🤘

[@maximusthegr8458]

Possibly their most upbeat and funnest choruses to date. Sounds like this song would be a good time live!

I heard "key chains" and was super confused about it until I saw your comment. Thanks for clearing it up!

[@corey2232]

Even though it doesn't have a music video yet, "Fell in Love" is the song that I think would be a hit if it released 15 years ago. It's not the most original song, but damn is it catchy & classic Blink.

[@jasonmiszuk9870]

I’m so happy you’re tearing apart these idiots on Reddit who think they’re smart and complain about the mix and vocals and production.

[@FelipeRodrigoX]

Is having critical sense being an idiot? The comments are valid, the songs do have a lot of autotune and a lot of compression on the instruments. You may not even care about this, but the fact is that the mix is ​​like this.

[@colinschafer5453]

Bridges. Lol. Brings me back to band practice back in the day. Feel like you’ve pumped out a solid verse and chorus and then everybody inevitably goes, “alright, cool, now we just need a bridge and we’re good”. Haha

[@darrenkrivit6854]

Take it to the bridge! 😄

[@FrodohTBaggins]

Such an underrated comment, we’d write a catchy song in like 30 mins, then get to the bridge and wouldn’t finish the song for like another 3 days with a sub par bridge and just say “fuck it” 😂😂😂

[@pickles224]

I feel like a lot of bands cheat this problem by just throwing in a lazily written guitar part where the bridge goes. Then you just repeat chorus one more time and the song is done.

[@colinschafer5453]

@@FrodohTBaggins For sure! The unfinished/sub par bridge was the demise of many would have been bangers! 😆

Finn must support “The Message!”.

[@corey2232]

Listen to this song live, or watch the recordings of it being played at live shows. It makes a lot more sense to me now. Definitely an arena banger meant to be easily screamed while jumping around & having a blast!

I never fit in with the hardcore kids. Or the skatepunk kids even tho thats my music. I didn't fit in with the kids on my rugby team for that matter either. I digress, my perspective was just what Mark said, sure, there is a sound and look associated with it, but what's punk if doing wtf you want on your terms. All the hardcore kids and punk kids wearing a uniform to meet the aesthetic now just kind of make me giggle. They also work for some shit Corp. And have to gatekeep the same 5 bands till they die and live under the government's thumb....kinda sad. I saved my $ and opened my own store. Now opening my 2nd. I work for myself. I listen to what the fuck I want. I dress how tf I want. Raise my kids how tf I want. Is the Dad wearing a white t and skinny jeans who works for himself more punk? No...because it's not a pissing contest. The point is it's about the idea and ethics. Not the look or uniform.

[@jatom6996]

[@CrabSully]

I definitely love that the spirit of this album so far seems to be "We're old as fuck, but lets just have fun while we still can." I think the music itself isn't mindblowing, but it's pretty solid. I love the emphasis on catchiness. Reddit complains about the production, but to me, the lofi vibe seems intentional. They're clearly trying to go for a more punk-y sound.

Having the 3 guys together again and clearly having fun and enjoying what they're doing really comes through

[@kevin71794]

I’ve noticed that theres just no pleasing the blink fandom. Some say they should do the same shit they did 25 years ago, while others say that their music should always grow. Some say that their new, sadder songs have too many words, while others mock the simplicity of their more upbeat stuff…fucking hell its no wonder they take the time that they do to make music.

[@buzzbomb67]

Lol I distinctly remember the original punks saying punk is just rock & roll distilled to its essence… whatever that means. And the original hardcore punks saying Hardcore is punk distilled to its essence. Its basically shooting yourself in the foot, when you define things that way lol but at the same time, this is why we keep getting more and more sub-sub-sub-sub-genres… because definitions limit things to falling within the confines of that definition. To anyone else, the difference between Thrash, Death, Doom, Black, & Norwegian Black Metal is virtually indistinguishable… but fans can tell you the difference within one bar. The difference between Heavy Metal, Proto Metal and Hard Rock is a bit broader but still … to my ears, back in the 70s, it was all just great, heavy rock Lol so weird.
