Blink-182 – “Blame It on My Youth” • Page 4

Hold up. I listened to another new song that was leaked but it had the same song title. The real song on Spotify is meh, this one however is very good.

 

Haha I was kinda hoping they would have been though. But I agree with you. They’re doing something right. I listened to it again and it’s already stuck in my head.

 

That band's called 408. Their last EP was ok. (Song is "Quiet Hours" from 2017.)

 

I imagine Post Malone when I think of 2019 music. Hopefully Blink will eventually go down that road so they sound like my idea of 2019.

 

This! At least in AVA the electronics make sense with the thematic elements in the songs, here it sounds like a grab at the Imagine Dragons, Bastille, etc. Top 40 pop playing at your local Target...

Really hoping for something more along the lines of Cynical or San Diego to be in this record.

 

Cool track, seems like they're taking the Weezer approach and doing their best to stay relevant. Never will touch anything Green Day has done in my mind though.

 

You know the concept of having a youth doesn't ever disappear whether you're 25, 50, or 80 right? Especially for a man in his late 40's who's been in the pop music industry for 20 years in which the vast majority of listeners are still in their youths or at least enjoy the nostalgia of their youth. I'm sure Bryan Adams' fans still love the hell out of hearing Summer of 69' from a guy who's cruising into his 60's.

 

It's... ehhh. Much prefer that new AVA song

 

I used to buy Blink-182 notebooks and pens and posters with their faces and naked bodies all over at the local Target while their music played over the speakers.

 

Lyric video:

 

More or less what I was expecting

 

Oh dang hahahahaha they’re good. I’m going to check them out.

 

I’m glad it’s different, though. California was great but I don’t want a California 2.0.

 

Both of those songs already exist! Just go listen to them. I want something I haven't heard before.

 

is this a Bleachers track?

 

I am well aware. I know what you’re getting at but Bryan Adams was probably 25 when he wrote that song. Mark’s 49 and just released this song.

But hey, as someone posted earlier, they make a lot of money singing songs about high school age stuff. More power to them!

 

But we all have heard this song...there's nothing new or exciting here. Sorry for being a downer, I think my expectations were out of whack. I mean they're taking Neck Deep on tour and collaborating with The Chainsmokers, times change...

 

I would too but I wouldn't hold your breath.

 

This band really should have stayed broken up. Everything they've released post-reunion has been bland and they're just tainting their legacy at this point.

 

Yeah. Not a fan of this. Glad Blink is keeping on being Blink though.

 

Their last album was massively successful. They've created a new legacy for legions of new (and old) fans alike while bringing joy to millions. This is a silly take.

 

How dare they make money/music with the band they created and the massive amounts of fans they still have.

 

Really dig. It’s a fresh interpretation of their sound.

 

Just heard the song and thought the same from the last few seconds

 

But isn't there a difference between singing ABOUT your youth and singing from the perspective of your youth? It is fair to say that much of their career has been the latter (and those songs can feel a little disingenuous), but this feels like the narrator is 49 and reflecting on youth. Might just be my interpretation, but I really relate to this song at 32.
