History TearJerker / Blink182

** [[UptoEleven Arguably made worse in 2019]] when, years after the song's release, it was announced that Tom and his wife Jennifer would file for divorce. While both of their kids are old enough to handle the stress that a divorce would bring about on a family, it still can't help but feel like an eerie case of [[HistoryRepeats history repeating itself]].

** Becomes [[Heartwarming in Hindsight]] when Mark announced he was cancer free in September of that year.

* On the June 23, 2021, Mark Hoppus announced on social media that he has been [[https://twitter.com/markhoppus/status/1407822798190383109 diagnosed]] with cancer and has been going through chemotherapy for the last three months. Many fans and friends showed their support for Mark following his announcement, including Tom wishing his support and love.

* ''I'm Lost Without You''. Makes it worse for early fans when the band broke up in 2005...

* "I Miss You." One of the biggest contenders and the band's most known song (besides [[SignatureSong "All The Small Things"]]). Considering their marriage didn't last long, the references to Travis and Shannas's wedding and especially the ShoutOut to ''WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas'', which was their favorite movie, it's also HarsherInHindsight.

* "Goodbye Cruel World", framed as a young boy's [[GoodbyeCruelWorld suicide note]], is one of their heaviest songs, though thankfully it has a happy ending as the boy chooses not to go through with it.

* "[[GoodbyeCruelWorld Adam's Song]]," though thankfully it has a happy ending.

* ''I'm Lost Without You''. Makes it worse for early fans when the band broke up in 2005...
* Tom's 'departure' for the ''second time''. No words can be said, especially considering how Mark and Travis have decided to continue without him (citing due to him focusing too much on [[Music/AngelsAndAirwaves his other project]] and putting blink in the back burner).
** What's worse is that fans feel this is all [[PoorCommunicationKills bad communication]] between the three guys, which has lead to an entire shit storm, and none of them are doing anything to fix it (Well..Tom ''tried'' to explain he's been slow on commitment due to fears of failing the band and Mark and Travis really want to continue blink..), only making fans worry what the state of the band is...
** What's worse is that Tom ''still wants their friendship'', despite the fact Mark and Travis basically [[TookALevelInJerkass kicked Tom out because of a letter from his manager, not him, and most of the time keep throwing shots at him since his "departure"]].

* Tom's 'departure' for the ''second time''. No words can be said, especially considering how Mark and Travis have decided to continue without him (citing due to him focusing too much on [[AngelsAndAirwaves his other project]] and putting blink in the back burner).

* Most of the album ''Neighborhoods'', due to all the references of death and such.

* "Stay Together For The Kids" is also fairly sad, since it centers around a kid living with parents who argue a lot and are only together because they don't want their child to grow up in a broken home. It does NOT help the song was actually written by Tom [=DeLonge=] about his experiences to it, seeing how his parents ended up divorced when he was a teenager.

* "What's My Age Again" is surprisingly melancholic - it's telling the story of someone whose immaturity is no longer funny or interesting, just irritating, and ends up underlining how pathetic holding onto youth looks like past a certain point. The opening arpeggios don't help either.

* "Adam's Song", an [[LyricalDissonance upbeat song about suicide]]. Well, maybe not ''that'' upbeat.

* During a Connecticut show on the Reunion Tour, the band learned Travis's close friend (as well as a survivor of the plane crash Travis was on) DJ AM (Adam Goldstein) passed away from a drug overdose. The band were ''seriously'' broken while playing on stage, Mark even asking the audience for a moment of silence while speaking about the incident. While playing 'Down', you can tell even Tom was at the verge of tears.

** Ghost on the Dancefloor: About DJ AM's death.

* I Miss You. One of the biggest contenders and the band's most known song (besides their [[SignatureSong most known]]). Makes a HarsherInHindsight as the song references Travis and Shanna's wedding on Halloween, which ended later on.

** What's worse is that fans feel this is all [[PoorCommunicationKills bad communication]] between the three guys, which has lead to an entire shit storm, and none of them are doing anything to fix it (Well..Tom ''tried'' to explain he's been slow on commitment due to fears of failing the band and Mark and Travis really want to continue blink..), only making fans worry what the state of the band is...

* "Stay Together For The Kids" is also fairly sad, since it centers around a kid living with parents who argue a lot and are only together because they don't want their child to grow up in a broken home. It does NOT help the song was actually written by Tom DeLonge about his experiences to it, seeing how his parents ended up divorced when he was a teenager.

** Natives: Really more bittersweet than anything, "I am too nervous to run, like kids who scatter and hide, to reach and grab for someone, but end up buried alive, a world is waiting for me, a road that I rarely use, I start to feel my feet, and kick down walls as they move"

* "What Went Wrong" is also particularly sad, as it seemed to have been made for the Blink break-up -- and was completely depressing for that reason. Then the reunion came, and... yeah.

* Most of the album ''Neighborhoods'', due to the all the references of death and such.

** Natives: About feelings useless and unneeded after a break-up.

* "Stay Together For The Kids" is also fairly sad. Ooh dear. Play the song, and you will know instantly whether someone is a victim of divorce or not. Particularly for people who went through a custody battle as a child.
