History YMMV / Blink182

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: The between-song banter on the live album, The Mark, Tom & Travis Show, is so infectiously stupid they even go so far as to throw together a long string of these moments as a series of {{hidden track}}s. Listening to them both throw out as many peepee jokes as humanly possible in one show (actually, two) is something to behold.
** And speaking of infectiously stupid, the video for "All The Small Things" is a wildly immature parody of the boy band videos of the time.

** "Neighborhoods", although less in a emo-sounding direction and more of a "let's take blink-182 and elements from all the other bands we did during the breakup, put 'em and a blender and see what comes out of it" kind of way. Putting the DarkerAndEdgier feel of the self-titled and the directions of +44 and AVA into consideration, it's hard to see how some people didn't see it coming. [[FanDumb Or not]].

** Important tip: ''DO NOT EVER CALL THEM EMO AROUND ANY OF THEIR FANS''. blink makes this "important" distinction even more complicated by those not in the know by [[FallOutBoy touring]] [[MyChemicalRomance with]] [[TakingBackSunday bands]] commonly pigeonholed as emo (in the {{Wangst}}, eyeliner, and tight pants sense), touring with [[JimmyEatWorld actual emo bands]], and actually counting emo bands as influences (emo in the "offshoot of DC hardcore punk" sense).

* JerkAssWoobie: Tom, ''in spades''. Despite acting all assholish to his band mates during the 2003-2004 tour and the sheer amount of crap he caused (which was ''pure accident'', even he admit it was his fault), you can't help but feel bad for him: He missed his wife giving birth to his daughter, was rarely around, and simply wanted to take a break from the band to be with her, something Travis and Mark didn't wanna do at the time. Add to the fact he went on a severe painkiller addiction due to spine surgery and getting '''so much shit''' from other hardcore blink fans blaming him for the band's break up in 2005-2009, and ''then'' being accused of changing the band's sound, you can't help but wanna give him a hug.

** [[RunningGag All of Travis' fans are pregnant]]. Even the dudes.

** ''Neighborhoods'' has those who are enthusiatic about the idea that they're incorporating elements of their various side projects into it, and those that hate it because it's "[[RecycledINSPACE just]] Music/{{A|ngelsAndAirwaves}}vA [[XMeetsY with Mark]]". While ''Dogs Eating Dogs'' received the same concerns, the reaction has been more receptive than with ''Neighborhood''.

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: Subverted, although [[RefugeInVulgarity we wouldn't blame you]] [[RefugeInAudacity for thinking otherwise]].

* MisaimedFandom: Back in the day, he "All the Small Things" video wound up exposing the band to waves of {{squee}}ing teenage girls who didn't realize or care that they were making fun of {{boy band}}s with that video.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: The group's last album took them into an emo-sounding direction, which didn't go over well with fans.

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: Subverted, although [[RefugeInVulgarity we wouldn't blame you]] [[RefugeInAudacity for thinking otherwise]].
** Played straight with Angels and Airwaves, as Tom has admitted being under the influence when he made the two albums.

** Tom himself, according to many fans. YMMV whether these are legitimate concerns, kneejerk reactions to his attempting to grow as an artist, continued resentment towards his partially painkiller addiction induced Jerkass stint right before and halfway through the hiatus, or just plain complaining for the sake of complaining.

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: Subverted, although [[RefugeInVulgarity we wouldn't blame you]] [[RefugeInAudacity for thinking otherwise.]]

* TearJerker: "Adam's Song" and "Stay Together For the Kids".
** Not Now, as well.

* FauxYay: When it comes to stage gay, before [[FallOutBoy Peterick]], [[PanicAtTheDisco Rydon]], or [[AllTimeLow Jalex]], there was [[OlderThanTheyThink Tark]].

** Most older fans however, consider Mark to be the "true" face of the band however; in part because Mark is "more punk" than Tom, whose tendency towards potty humor and the emo-sound (and aesthetics; mind you, he had an emo fringe long before the emo trend went big all over the world, with fringes and all!) alienated some fans.

*** And then there is Enema of the State/Take Off Your Pants And Jacket, which featured the band effectively dumbing down their songs and videos to appeal to teenage girls and non-punk fans. The former has it's defenders but the later is widely reviled.

* BrokenBase- ''Enema of the State'' broke the band's fanbase in half, in large part because it made the band mega-stars.
** ''Neighborhoods'' has those who are enthusiatic about the idea that they're incorporating elements of their various side projects into it, and those that hate it because it's "[[RecycledInSpace just]] [[Music/AngelsAndAirwaves AvA]] [[XMeetsY with Mark]]".

** And speaking of infectiously stupid, the video for "All The Small Things" is a wildly immature parody of the boy band videos of the time.
* EarWorm - Most of their songs.
* FaceOfTheBand: Subjective; both Tom and Mark sing an equal number of songs, with Mark being known for "Dammit" and "What's My Age Again" and Tom for "All the Small Things". Travis meanwhile is known mainly for his reality tv show and his near death experience.

** Their newest single ''Up All Night'' (and this will most likely carry over to the upcoming album) has those who are enthusiatic about the idea that they're incorporating elements of their various side projects into it, and those that hate it because it's "[[RecycledInSpace just]] [[AngelsAndAirwaves AvA]] [[XMeetsY with Mark]]".

** YourMilageMayVary on this one. Many people consider Travis to be the most famous (and talented) member.

** For bonus points, go to an Aqua-Bats forum and bring up Travis Barker's time with the band. The way in which Travis quit that group in the middle of the night, on the eve of a big tour has made him persona non-grata amongst Aqua-Bats fans.
** TheAquabats still toured with blink for the last two shows of their reunion tour, so YMMV depending on what AquaBats forum you end up on.
