American Rock Band Known for "All the Small Things" & "What's My Age Again?"

Blink-182 is an American rock band that emerged from Poway, California, in 1992. The original trio, consisting of guitarist and vocalist Tom DeLonge, bassist and vocalist Mark Hoppus, and drummer Scott Raynor, quickly became known for their high-energy performances and irreverent humor. Their early albums, such as "Cheshire Cat" (1995) and "Dude Ranch" (1997), garnered a dedicated fanbase within the punk rock community. However, it was their third studio album, "Enema of the State" (1999), featuring hits like "What's My Age Again?" and "All the Small Things," that catapulted them to mainstream success, making them a defining band of the pop-punk genre.

In 1998, during the recording of "Enema of the State," Scott Raynor was replaced by Travis Barker, whose dynamic drumming style became a hallmark of Blink-182's sound. The band's subsequent albums, "Take Off Your Pants and Jacket" (2001) and the self-titled "Blink-182" (2003), continued their commercial success, showcasing a maturation in their music and lyrical content. Despite their popularity, internal tensions and personal challenges led to the band's hiatus in 2005. During this period, the members pursued various side projects, with DeLonge forming Angels & Airwaves and Hoppus and Barker creating +44.

Blink-182 reunited in 2009, releasing the album "Neighborhoods" in 2011. However, creative differences persisted, leading to DeLonge's departure in 2015. Alkaline Trio's Matt Skiba joined as his replacement, and the band released "California" (2016) and "Nine" (2019), which were well-received by fans and critics alike. In 2024, the band embarked on the international ONE MORE TIME! tour. Despite lineup changes and evolving music trends, Blink-182 remains a significant force in rock music, known for their catchy melodies, punk rock energy, and ability to resonate with multiple generations of listeners. Their enduring influence is evident in the ongoing popularity of their music and their impact on the pop-punk genre.
