Blink 182 is a punk rock band that is now broke up. Punk rock is a form of rock music with more of a younger look. For example the drum player Travis Barker has a huge pink Mohawk and almost his entire body is tattooed. He is known as one of the best drum players alive. The feel of blink 182 is more of a depressed, crazy, different feeling. They are always singing about love and other random things in life. Also the names of their songs are very interesting. They are the most random names. I can’t name any because they are slightly inappropriate. A band I would compare them to is simple plan. They both are the same kind of the same in the type of music. They contrast a lot in the fact that blink 182 is more bad boy then simple plan. Simple plan is way more emotional. My favorite song by the band is defiantly I Miss You. I had a girl friend for a long time and this song always makes me think of her because she showed me this song and now we broke up. The song is very good. The research I found about critics on Blink 182 was very limited because they have been broke up for a while now. The critics I did all pretty much said the same type of thing, the band is emotionally disturbed. Some people in the band have lost parents and brothers, were beat when they were little, and other horrible things. In my overall opinion I think Blink 182 is one of the best bands to ever exist. They got back together about 2 years ago. My ex-girlfriend and I had bought tickets but they broke up again like 2 weeks before our concert so we never got to go.
