You think Untitled is a pile of shit. I don’t think anyone here should respect your opinions. Just because you used to dick ride Mark Hoppus you think you’re some punk elitist. You’re like 50 years old. If you’re still listening to shitty punk bands at that age there’s something wrong with you mentally. 

Relax, bud.

Na, FOB has never been as good as blink. It’s all good tho man we all have our own tastes . I just don’t see why you had to resort to name calling, but I’m sorry for calling names back. Cheers to having different opinions!

I think you find they have though. They’re arguably more successful than Blink. Have you listened to ‘take this to your grave’ and ‘from under the cork tree’ both fucking excellent pop punk albums. As good as Enema or Toypaj.

Yeah I was exaggerating a bit lol. There's just something about their attitude. Over the years they come across as very arrogant and their fans used to do the same. The band and their fans felt very threatened by blink-182 for some reason and would take any opportunity to criticize them.

They do sound great live though, but I still like bashing them for it, I view it as cheating. It's almost hypocritical of them to claim how punk they are, but play live shows like a pop singer would.

Billie Joe is the main diva. He's supposed to be the guitarist of the group, but he barely plays. Does he have a medical condition? I've never seen another rock band where one member stops playing their instrument. I can't imagine James Hetfield of Metallica having another man play all his parts

I get what you mean, but to be fair I’ve never had the impression that blink fans criticize GD any less.

Yeah well each to their own I guess. I personally don’t care about genres so much so I don’t really get why it matters

And regarding the last thing, I’ve never really noticed that he stops playing. Not saying that he doesn’t do it, but claiming that he barely plays is a bit of an exaggeration again, isn’t it? 
edit: unless you’re referring to when he stops playing in order to be able to move around more freely on stage while he’s singing?

- i like untitled the least of all blink albums. that is true. but i don't think it's nearly as bad as either fall out boy or the starting line. at least fall out boy garnered some critical acclaim for cork tree. the starting line doesn't have a pot to piss in. and i think i still have one of their CDs. the one where a bird is on the phone on a couch? an ex-girlfriend left it at my house.

- i could hardly be called a punk elitist. after all, i like blink. and they aren't even a top 10 band in the genre.

- i will be 50 in 2027. mark is much closer. perhaps you mean if you're still playing in punk bands at that age, there's something wrong with you?

Under the Cork Tree was good but lost a lot of respect with American Beauty. That shit is straight trash.

Haha I love that record, it’s just the right amount of weird

And What Is Up With The Insanely Long Song Titles That Go On And On Like They Think It's Fucking Clever Or Something When Actually It's Just Really Stupid?

That was a thing for a while in the early naughts. I don't know why ... some shitty bands adopted it when naming their shitty bands.

Oi, that's all Scott, nothing to do with being Welsh. I'm delightful!

I commend your enthusiasm but I will never like FOB. My freshman year of college is the year “sugar we’re going down” blew up. I never cringed so hard as all these preppy, collar popping douchebags played that song non stop all day everyday for months and thought they were cool. Their singer is annoying and Pete Wentz should be euthanized. Fuck that band.
