Blink-182

This news is gonna be my moment of the year, ? ? ? ? _{if Chinese Democracy don't come out}?

Izzy?

You know, in defence of punk-pop, I really think it's the best form of mainstream rock out there today.?

It's the ONLY form of mainstream rock...

What are you talking about?  There's also the remnants of nu-metal (Linkin Park, Slipknot), grunge lite (Nickelback, 3 Doors Down), pussy rock (Radiohead, Coldplay), emo (Taking Back Sunday), and screamo.  That last one, exemplified by shitty bands like Alexisonfire, is in my opinion the worst single subgenre of "mainstream" rock music ever.  Anyway, you take all those different genres, and except for a few wild card bands like The Darkness, punk-pop is the only popular genre where the music is both fun and catchy.

i say the world will live without Blink 182. i like a few songs here and there but the world will be better off.

How so?  Blink was one of the better punk-pop bands.  I mean, now acts like Simple Plan and Good Charlotte are left to pick up the crumbs, and those acts are both either more contrived or juvenile than Blink was when they broke up (and yeah, I know Blink loved the toilet humour.  But that was better than Simple Plan's kiddie punk).

im just saying we shouldnt make blink breakin up a big deal. the world will move on. they are the better pop-punks bands but im not typicly into that genre. i like a few songs but all im saying is a big huge deal shouldnt be made.

[Mattman]

Well, we'll just see if they move on.

[mrlee]

well blinks stuff was full of energy (not including the most recent album), alot of bands like green day lack in that energy these days. Can someone please tell me how that green day album won best album over VR....that Green day album is seriously weak and commercialised.

I must say, no American Pie sequel will be the same without them. 

[Mattman]

I don't care what anybody says.  They were second only to Green Day as one of the better punk-pop acts.

First of all, how exactly did Green Day get all commercial with American Idiot?  The music is based on the same basic elements as all their other albums - tuneful punk-pop.  The lyrics were actually more intellectual and expansive than anything they'd written before.  And they continued to experiment.  I don't see how suddenly starting to write nine-minute epics makes you "commercial".

As for Blink...they never tried to be bad boys.  They freely admitted that they were just goofballs who liked making fun of things and revelled in adolescent toilet humour.  But they also happened to write really catchy songs that I can relate to, and that's why I like them.  The great thing about Blink was that even though they appeal to the same fanbase as emo bands and stuff, they always had more of a sense of humour than almost any of their contemporaries.  They're not trying to be hardcore rock badasses.  They were just an immature bunch of guys who wrote music that a lot of people really enjoyed.

Yeah, I wrote wrong.I?m not saying they didnt write good lyrics or good songs, just that they changed their whole image based on what is considered punk today.That kind of dark clothing stuff.I mean, can u see a diference between this:

and this

And its obvious their producer or A&R made them make the songs more chatchy and radio frendly (like Boulevard  Of Broken Dreams)
About the Blink thing, eyah, I think I went too far too, my bad!

Dookie came out over 10 years ago, and almost ever song on that album was catchy and radio friendly.  I fail to see how Green Day "caved" to corporate pressure and became more commercial... Just because Boulevard is a hit?
