There was also a board behing them which had "+44 album 2 2022" and boxcar album 2 2022 written on. So there you go. Enjoy the next couple of years all x Have y’all noticed Matt Skiba’s been quite about Blink since he went off on that one kid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He replied to someone about a blink/trio split just a week ago and has posted a few photos and tagged blink-182 in them since the incident with the bigoted homophobe. Assuming of course that is the incident you’re talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedo Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 Anyone else remember when bands only had newsletters and fan clubs? Social media is a cess pool and a bummer. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 Idk I like that Skiba is unfiltered on social media, and calls people out on bullshit. this isn't the first time. It's a little childish but it's at least honest which is more than what we see from the rest of the blink camp. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Backing Track Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 Matt is definitely not the type of guy you could throw a beer on stage to and he'd drink it. A lot of blink fanbase are like that. Nothing wrong with that, just more or less why Alkaline Trio is different from blink and why Matt fits there better. Also not referring to the homophobe guy..

Like obviously this is some wasteful stupid post by some random fan, but to even comment back, and comment THAT back and then screenshot and share it? We're talking some random kid who can change, and he's calling him an asshole? If Matt had any maturity he'd make another post about gay rights doubling down NOT singling out and enticing harassing this kid even if he's a homophobe, who knows if that was even the context he anticipated (it likely was) but still, need to have more restraint as the adult. At least that's my take. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzzz Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 I absolutely LOVE that Skiba calls out people on social media, he gets shit from trolls on every single post, put them in their place plz. And for true assholes like this one, screenshot and expose further! Some clown saying blink fans don’t like the rainbow flag? Gtfo. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that's my take. Not at all. I think he had every right to post it and definitely should have. Anybody spreading hate like that especially when all Matt posted was something supporting equal rights for everybody deserves to be called out for being a piece of shit. The “kid”( he doesn’t honestly look that young to me but whatever” needs to learn to not be such a Cunt and obviously whoever is meant to be teaching him that isn’t doing a proper job so I actually have a lot of respect for Skiba for calling him out. It’s very much deserved imo. If I was at a pride rally in real life and saw/heard someone say or act like that id call them out for being a piece of shit, why should social media be different? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if anything he might learn something by the shock of him responding altogether. I just don't like when celebrities bite back at trolls in their comment section, feels petty but I get what you're saying. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champ182 Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 Well according to the dude's instagram bio he's a college student in Colombia, I see he was commenting a bunch of bullshit all over the comment section and seems like a total right-wing moron, but what's the point in elevating his dumbass post at all? I dunno, I just think a celebrity responding to some rando in their comment section is futile. It probably just made the guy feel a rush of adrenaline and want to dig in his heels even more.

Possibly. Or it might have made him realise that there can and should be repercussions for saying shitty and doing shitty things like that. A lot of these “bullies” and “tough guys” like this person are only like that until someone stands up to them and shuts them up. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
