Popular Post Quinns86 Posted May 13, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 Hi all. I'm new to the boards. I wasn't sure where the best place to post this was, so I apologize if there was a previous thread already about people's collections. I checked with one of the mods first though, and they said it was ok! Anywho - I just wanted to share some pics I just took of the Blink merch. collection I gathered during my teen years. I don't think there's anything particularly rare in there, but it's definitely special to me. I was hoping to connect with some fans - particularly people who came onto the train around Enema like I did. As you can see, my merch. highly reflects being a fan that got involved around 99' as a 13 years old girl. I would still consider them to be my fave band, but haven't explored anything under the actual "Blink 182" name since the reunion occurred with Neighborhoods and the shows around that time. Should I get over this and give the Skiba albums a listen?....I'm scared to, haha. I feel like he's like my dad's new girlfriend and I'm not comfortable or something....... If you see anything in my collection that strikes your fancy and you'd like to see better pics (of the inside of a magazine or some such thing, just lemmy know!). I'll look forward to interacting with you all on here. Link to more/better images: Thanks, Quinn 10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedo Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 The Skiba albums are just gonna let you down if you’re expecting a Blink album but they have some good songs between the two. It’s worth listening too, just try and avoid expectations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess 35/36 is probably a huge demographic of blink fans currently lol. I remember having that Rolling Stone magazine and putting the cover page on my bedroom door lol. I also had the hoody version of your blue t-shirt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 Welcome to the boards! Nice collection - the amount of teen girl magazines they were in those days was quite hilarious. personally I don’t care for the Skiba records but lots of fans dig them so you may like them, worth giving them a go! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Kyle_ Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 the cure being mentioned on the ALTPress cover is some nice foreshadowing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got Enema from one of those "buy 20 cd's for like 10 cents" scammy deals they used to offer in magazines haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghent Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 Both California and Nine are quality additions to the blink catalog. No reason at all to skip them. They might not be your favorites, but there is nothing inherently "anti-blink" about them. Unless you're a raging tombot or something lol, invest!

I don't think I ever even tried to order because my parents wouldn't let me. I assumed it was a scam of some kind, but maybe there was a way to get the free/cheap stuff without buying the regularly priced stuff.

Speedo Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 huh ... maybe I just owe my parents an apology. Maybe I'm the reason we were poor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Backing Track Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 Those are awesome! The magazines really give off some good nostalgia. I would definitely check out Neighborhoods. It's nothing like the prime days of blink, style wise, but it's pretty well received on these boards. If you loved the early/prime blink stuff, you may like California on, but I personally hate it with every bone in my body. Too cheap for me. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
