How blink-182 & “What’s My Age Again?” Forever Altered Pop-Punk

Blink-182 are a punk dividing line. Green Day’s Dookie and The Offspring’s Smash proved that a punk rock band could, with the correct pop inflection, sell several million records. But Enema of the State showed that songs about girls, partying and prank phone calls were not only lucrative but also ripe for repetition. With their preference for video clip nudity and gross-out stage banter, alongside American Pie and South Park, blink were the Zeitgeist of 1999. And their blockbuster single that reflected on this immaturity would blast them way beyond the punk rock community . This is the story of how “What’s My Age Again?” kinda ruined Punk forever. #blink182 #PopPunk #MusicDocumentary Mark Hoppus by Mic The Snare. Fact-checking by Serenity Autumn.
