The blink 182 general discussion topic

[boxelder]

for those who like this era: isn’t it weird to see “blink” marketed as solely mark and travis, with no matt to speak of? matt, mark and trav feels like a very fractured pairing IMO

I read about it last night, what a bummer. I loved Culture Abuse and I am feeling really betrayed because they were all about inclusiveness and community building and now it all feels like a load of shit. 

There are other guys in the band too though

I mean, would you really be all that surprised or shocked by the answer? Young idiots with notoriety handle it poorly.

Sexual misconduct, just like David in Simple Plan that got fired.

Oh yeah absolutely agree with all of this! To be honest a lot of times I'm just kind of unfairly judging Blink against my own wishlist of what would be cool in a perfect world haha. I know it's not always fair. But also here are some songs by the bands I listed, I highly recommend them all!

PUP - See You At Your Funeral - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIgu46uI9XU

Soccer Mommy - Cool - https://youtu.be/7Phsup-LrII

The Sidekicks - Other People's Pets - https://youtu.be/qCdx18AfBNg

Charly Bliss - Hard To Believe - https://youtu.be/eQZdBVgkYCg

 

I’ll definitely check them out! Thanks.

[Knapppers]

I quite like that Oliver Tree song.

It’s definitely a little weird but at the same time it doesn’t bother me. This Oliver tree guy talks about growing up being a huge fan of blink-182. When he dreamt about working with blink it was Mark, Tom and Travis not Matt. It wouldn’t surprise me if a lot of these collabs had actually just reached out to Mark or Travis and they just slap the blink name on for brand recognition. Also I’m assuming this was recorded during lockdown and as Mark said the other day Matt doesn’t have the means available to record at home like he and Travis does so it kinda makes Matt wasn’t able to be involved in this one.

Personally I don’t care about these collabs at all. I’m one of the bigger new-era fans and I haven’t to any of them more than once. They mean nothing to me so if it’s just Mark and Travis then I don’t really care. If they start doing blink shows as a two piece or something then I’ll start being bothered by it. I definitely see what you’re saying but it just doesn’t bother me personally.

It's not real Blink without Skiba.

I don’t think we can say with 100% certainty Matt wasn’t involved but all signs point to him not being part of it. The image that accompanied the song just had Mark and Travis. Seems like no skiba.

[Cheerios4u98]

I wonder if we’re ever gonna get a concrete answer from blink about why Matt isn’t in any of the collabs. I doubt it. They have to know that the fans notice. If it was just one collab without Matt I wouldn’t think anything of it but it’s all of them.

No we can say with 100% certainty.

Well you can’t. Not without word from everyone involved saying he had no part in it. The song credits on Spotify say “blink-182” not just “Mark Hoppus/Travis Barker”. We can be 99% sure since it definitely seems like he wasn’t but 100% needs a little more. But I don’t believe he is part of it at all.

At this point blink doesn’t really exist
