So Blink 182 has apparently disbanded, or quit, or are "taking a break," or whatever. My life remains largely unaffected, as they have been dead to me since their latest album. As I said at the time, it wasn't a bad album per se, but it definitely wasn't a BLINK 182 album. Sure, some people herald it as their "maturing" and they are so much better because of it. But I guarantee you if they hadn't had the Blink 182 name on the front, it wouldn't have gotten nearly as much acclaim as it has.
Don't agree with me? Okay, here is what it comes down to for me.
a) I liked old Blink. Everything old Blink was good. I was a huge Blink fan.
c) Take Off Your Pants and Jacket is released. I am disappointed.
b) Their latest, self-titled album is released. I find it completely non-Blnkish and listen to it twice, then lose it on an airplane, and don't miss it at all. End of story.
Anyways, I was browsing through the Blink 182 website forums and well, it's a good way to make yourself feel a lot smarter. Countless "fans" ie thirteen-year-old girls, rant about how Mark, or Tom, or Travis, are in love with them, and go into disturbingly stalkerish descriptions of their merry happy future lives together. Then you have the "insiders" who claim to know the inside scoop on what's going on with the band, when really they're just talking out of their ass. And then we have the so-called fans, who react with rage and rant about how Blink "betrayed them." Then they usually whine and quote "Adam's Song" in a pathetic attempt at suffering angst.
Example: some pathetic jess person writes: "GO 2 BLINK182PETITION.TK ITS THE ONLY HOPE WE HAVE LEFT!FOR A LOT OF US YOU ARE THE ONLY THING THAT MAKES US HAPPY!" Sad, really. Even worse when you keep reading and realize she posted that about TWENTY DIFFERENT TIMES!
The worst part about this is, from what I've gathered, the members are taking a hiatus to spend time with their families. And here we have their fans (most of whom had never heard of them before Enema of the State) moaning and wailing like they had just died or something.
So Blink 182 is done? Unfortunate, but as an old fan at least it is for good reasons. And I won't miss the music. I have the real Blink albums already.
