brother i’ve been making my case for years that blink’s best output was their more progressive moments — songs like stockholm or feeling this or kaleidoscope. even the losers like fighting the gravity have something interesting to offer. my ideal blink would be the one that never broke up in ‘05 and continued to tread a path no one ever got to. they were on the verge of something great

my enjoyment of first date has nothing to do with this. blink excelled at this type of fun, generic, ear candy. it’s got a bomb melody, sensitive and saccharine lyrics, and a bridge that combines the best of the band in that era. like you said the music video is the funniest the band ever got.

my reply is based in my observation that first date was a beloved, classic blink hit until 2006 or so, when tom referred to it as some throwaway that “teenage girls can drive around and listen to” or whatever — which was super wrong and short-sighted. then he started outwardly mocking it in concert and seems like fans began to dislike it to. more often than not the ones that have some sort of complex about tom and used to dress like him and shit

I hear you man and I didn’t mean to sound like such a dick. Although I do believe that toms assessment of first date and mocking it was correct and appropriate lol

Tom feels about it? What has he said? I assume he’s embarrassed because he should be. Lame, boring single just for radio and it didn’t even do well. The video was its only saving grace. I actually went back to the TOYPAJ thread and you strongly laid out your case for why First Date is so great. It’s clear we are not fans of the same band. You love the poppy, generic and dull singles of blink and that’s your band. Blink had a lot more depth than that , and unfortunately some of you never understood or got it 

This is such a bullshit thing to say to someone purely based on what song someone votes for, back the fuck up you judgy baby. 

also ATST for the millionth time.
