Blink-182
Nineties punk band
Blink-182 is an American rock band formed in 1992, known for catchy punk-influenced pop songs with juvenile humor and themes of adolescent angst.
The group helped define the pop-punk sound of the late 1990s and early 2000s with hits like "All the Small Things" and "What's My Age Again?" The name has no confirmed meaning—band members have offered contradictory explanations over the years.
