Blink 182's Effect -- Your Thoughts

Posted by: Anton Djamoos (02/12/09)
Blink-182 is back. What does that mean for our "scene?" Will they herald the resurgence of Atticus shirts and dispel the neon/dance trend? Will their popularity topple Fall Out Boy's? Will the reunion be successful? Will the mainstream even care anymore?

What musical direction do you believe they will go toward? Will they play the more somber pop-punk found in their self-titled album, the crude and playful sound they patented in the late 90s, or maybe even take influence from Angels and Airwaves and +44? What do you think?

Yeah, fuck neon/dance. I welcome back Atticus t-shirts and Macbeth shoes. All I can say is that I'm stoked for the new album... Hopefully they will last for at least 2 or 3 albums.
As for the direction of their music, I'm sure they're gonna be much more matured, after all they've gone through. I think +44 and AvA will no doubt have a big influence on what their putting out. It'll be stupid if they go back to their early years and act like they're still 20-ish.

I hope they sound like they did, TOYPAJ/Enema era. There's not too many bands like that anymore, and it always makes me nostalgic; it makes me feel like summertime.

I think they'll be equally as popular as FOB, etc, and that they'll go in a more somber direction. But I definitely think they'll bring a happiness back to the "scene"

i think they will continue in the direction of self titled. anything else wouldnt seem genuine. as far as there influence on the scene, i hope they show all the young kids what good, influential music is and prove that trends come and go and there will be a million metro stations but great legendary music sticks around. personally i hope them reuniting is a turning point for old school pop punk.

I'd like another self-titled. That is a really good record. I don't know about toppling FOB though.

I think they'll be a little more popular than FOB, and I think they will put out a good cd that sounds a lot like their self titled. I think it will be better though, these guys have grown as songwriters, and hopefully they'll mix that with the fun side of Blink. Should be pretty good.

I think they are all very aware of what will "sell" now days, so im pretty sure they are going to blow all the other wannabe bands out of the picture. i duno if this will make sense but i think they will sound like modern punk, and i dont mean like fall out boy sounding, just kinda like untitled but just huge guitars and melodic and pop. and i think they arent gona give in to any current trends either, i think they are gona bring back some of the rawness that you cant really get these days unless its from an underground band.

and i have to say i brought out the old yellow "the shoes are nigh" macbeth shirt this week. felt good
