Introduction To Blink 182

Blink-182 was a Southern-Californian pop punk group that was shaped in 1992 by Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus, and Scott Raynor in the northern San Diego village of Poway, California.

The group members were Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus, and drummer Travis Barker. The group is recognized for playing catchy melodies, as well as their satirical toilet humour. Identified as a group that plays up-tempo songs with famous major-chord agreement, often digitally mixed, to provide a much cleaner sound than typical punk/rock recordings generally employing distortion and ragged analogue mixes to achieve the opposite effect. The poetic content of their songs, especially prior to their last album, is often humorous and uplifting. Although the band is labelled as Blink 182 on albums prior to Raynor's departure, the specific syntax for the band's current name is blink-182, as conflicting to Blink-182 or their former name, blink. The numbers 182 were additional to the group's name to stop a copyright clash with an Irish pop/rock b ndthat calls itself "Blink".
