Blink's audience has always been younger teenagers and people like me, who don't listen to music for any kind of serious reason, I don't see how maturity even comes into it to be honest with you. The last album was good, but it alienated a lot of their target audience and as such came in for a bit of stick.

... Maturity has alot to do with it when it comes to music esspecially when it comes to pop punk.

Do Greenday sound the same as 39/Smooth? or do Alkaline trio sound the same as Goddamnit?

There is only so long you can go around singing about dick and fart jokes before you realise there are serious matters in the world or in your life. Blinks target audience? I'm sorry but bands write for themselves and not for other people... just some people can relate or have fun with whats on record or on a stage. Blink were kids when they started along with their so called target audience, but now they are men with something to say... so why should they been called sell outs for doing so?

You can write as many serious songs as you want and still come off as being immature. I firmly belive that the music someone enjoys has absolutely nothing to do with how mature they are or not as a person. I enjoy pop punk, I enjoy metal, I enjoy indie music, I enjoy dance music. It's about taste, not maturity, especially for the fans.

And to imply, as you are, that they were immature or that all of their songs were about dick and fart jokes in their earlier days is not only way off, but it also implies that you haven't heard much of Blink's back catalogue. Adam's Song, from Enema for example, is about suicide, and is a damn serious song. Stay Together For The Kids, on Take Off Your Pants... is self explanatory, and again, is a very serious song. In fact, apart from the very well publicised Happy Holidays You Bastard, and it's own name, Take Off Your Pants and Jacket is a fairly serious album(in Blink's own way).

P.S. If you reckon all artists write music solely for themselves and not to make a bit of cash, you're extremely naive. Blink has a target audience as much as any other popular band does.

Sorry but why all the hate for the most recent album?

it was FANTASTIC. Stockholm Sydrome, Down, Violence, Lost Without You, Always, Feeling This, I Miss You.

All in the same place. Probably their best album.

Blink-182 > Dude Ranch > Enema of the State > Take Off Your Pants and Jacket > Cheshire Cat

Very good news. The reason they decided to reunite was because of he plane crash Travis was involved in. They decided that life was too short to be fallen out so became friends again.

That's good sense.

I kind of want either Morrissey or Marr to be involved in an almost fatal incident now, but to survive without major harm done! Otherwise, they'd be no point.

I listened to Dude Ranch recently and thought it was shite. They've become just better songwriters over time imo, whether that means they're less cool and authentic..

It's total shite like that which made that album a let down.

DeLonge publically dissed Blink-182 in 2006, saying "I do not want to be in a bullshit pop band with some bullshit pop songs while you drive your strawberry floating bullshit car and sing along to it like you’re some 14 year-old girl."

What a strawberry floating hypocrite. I guess it's because his current band have about three fans.

Funnily enough, no.

As long as the new material doesn't include anything as gooseberry fool as I Miss You things will be just spiffy.

AVA are strawberry floating amazing. Seriously groundbreaking in musical terms.
'Blink182' was a great album, IMO, their best. 'TOYPAJ' was the second best.

Actually I'd say it's pretty accurate.

Scott "mad dog" Raynor (his nickname has nothing to do with the rabid dog he slept with in Hollywood.

Tom "may I check your prostate?" Delonge.

Mark "mr. take advantage of your goat when you're not home" Hoppus.

Depends
I don't want to urinate on myself, I don't want to urinate on anyone else but I guess it really doesn't matter anymore because I can't control my bladder anymore...

I'm sick of crying myself to sleep on rubber sheets I had an accident today I left a soiled bus seat

Ben Wah Balls
Then quietly one day he sang a song from deep within his heart causing some indigestion he finished with a great big fart...

My Dad left my Mom he always used to fart and sing this special song

Wasting Time
In my dreams she'd teach me about modern art and I'd show her it's okay to fart.

I'm not sure what my purpose is for being here, why do they always kick me in the groin when I come near?

Also, read the lyrics to Voyeur, Waggy, Degenerate and check out the inlay for Dude Ranch. Pretty immature I reckon.

I enjoyed it when I saw them live about 5 years ago, but I can't say I really care about them getting back together too much.

I like Blink 182, because their songs remind me of growing up and being a teenager. I don't expect anyone to agree particularly, because everyone has different songs that mean things to them and such. I can't say I'm that bothered about a reunion though, as it's unlikely I'd buy a new album from them.

They're gooseberry fool. I'm never even liked them when I was 13, I had standards even then.

*listens to Radiohead*
