He was probably a dick about it, got blocked, and is now crying about it. I'm sure he has since deleted his original posts and is trying to act like he did nothing wrong... if you can vent, they can vent by getting rid of the negativity from their feed, don't care who you are, it has to get old. This is always how it goes. Don’t really understand why people talk shit directly on their pages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The message in his twitter replies is pretty polite. I mean if the fan was a dick then I’m surprised he’s be whining on twitter. But I didn’t see the Instagram comment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Value Man Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 Mark is just a big baby. We are the customer. The customer is always right. The customers is your bottom line. The customer is not an interruption of your work; They are the purpose of it. Without the customer; your work doesn't exist. Business 101. People aren't hard enough on their shitty music. Years and Years of blind praise and acceptance of shit. They need to be hit with a big old bag of reality. Again, we are the customer. They serve us. We don't serve them. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghent Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 But if your customers are douche bags then you're always free to find new ones. That is the case currently. Time to cut the cord with the babies and move on into a new era 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't serve them. This is not a literal phrase. The meaning of it is more along the lines "If there's demand for something, produce it" Mark seems to have been of that mindset for a while now, and considering California's success I think it's been executed.

We don't serve them. yes but in this specific example, customers are very heterogenous. in the case of blink, we now have the situation that different typesof customers want different things from the band. and unfortunately, we (i totally want the same thing from blink as you) are the minority (soit seems) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the case currently. Time to cut the cord with the babies and move on into a new era Hey if you want shitty, generic pop syth "music" and expensive seat tickets where a GA pit area once was instead of guitar driven punk/pop punk and fun shows more power to you and the rest of the new fans this shit will attract. Those of us who don't like this aren't "babies". We're disappointed fans. I'm content with going back and listening to everything they recorded from 1992-2001 (I did like most of California too TBH) and never going to a show again if this is blink from here on out (hopefully the rest of this new record is good). It's just sad to see them fall so far. *Sounding like a geriatric* I remember back in 1999 when Enema came out and everyone cried sell out and "you've changed" because WMAA was all over MTV and the record itself was more polished sounding than Dude Ranch thanks to a better job mixing it (WTF Trombino. Should've let Tom Lord Alge mix the whole album not just the radio edits of Dammit and Josie but I digress). The sell out shit was stupid then and I didn't think it was relevant. Sure they blew up but the sound was still there, just more refined. They were still writing their pop punk songs. But this isn't like that now. This new song is trash. It's not blink-182. Change the band name to Simple Creatures. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
