I am happy they are reuniting because at least this means the end of Angels and Airwaves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I AGREE.
THIS IS WHY I WANTED THIS TO HAPPEN.
+44 and AVA GONE. YES.

As for Blink themselves, they're not bad... but not exactly musical geniuses or too interesting. I guess they're a solid band. They do what they're meant to do.

eer is expressing interest in music that does not even exist yet

Do you really believe blink 182 is going to progress their sound so dramatically it'd be good? Come on man, we laughed the exact same way when nickelback said they were going to make a new album and said they had to topple whatever mountain they had already built with their awesome music. motley crue and kiss think they are the best band in the whole world, but if they made an album now i would already know it'd be shit, and you would assume the same.

don't be such a dick over some guy liking some random band when you apparently sit around listening to crystal castles

i don't listen to them very often, maybe once every couple of months.  but at least i know they are shit/are a guilty pleasure pretty much.

What makes you think that blink182 isn't (one of) my guilty pleasure(s)?

blink 182 is dumb adolescent trash that's marketed towards middle schoolers so if you listen to it and you're in your 20s then you should feel a little bad about yourself. it's kinda like adults who still give a shit about stupid children's anime cartoons or action figures or video games. it's hardly comparable to hipster indie music because at worst a lot of indie music is just kinda bad but at least the songs are not primarily written to appeal to 13 year olds.
it is more like marketed towards high schoolers, and the last time they released an album he was probably in high school.  is it really surprising that he has some level of interest?  i think this is more like adults who have an interest in shit they watched as kids.  if someone said JAYCE AND THE WHEELED WARRIORS IS COMING BACK i would have some level of interest in this despite the old show being pretty dumb.  should i be embarrassed about this?  pink made a relatively good point which is, aside from the fact that it's kind of embarrassing for the and themselves considering they're in their 30s, to be making this kind of music, they are not very AMBITIOUS.  they serve a purpose and they never try to make themselves out to be more than this.  at worst, indie hipster music is just as musically uninteresting as blink 182 while being 10x more pretentious.  i think the latter is more irritating.

also i don't think they're going to be good.  they might be a lil above high school and into YOUNG COLLEGE POP PUNK.  if you assume their audience is generally around a decade younger than them, it makes sense.  or maybe it'll be more adolescent trash, as konix called it.  who knows but like i said, everyone listens to at least ONE GAY THING.  i don't care how often you listen to crystal castles or how dumb you KNOW they are, you don't really have any room to be calling his tastes embarrassing!

Don't know about you metalheads, but I'm pretty stoked


also, i'm pretty sure their intended audience is middle schoolers or maybe even highschoolers but not college students.  i don't think i've ever seen a college kid listen to blink 182, but they're all the rage in 8th grade

i also hate this shit. if the band is horribly mediocre and not doing anything new with themselves (although this is a huge assumption right now since blink 182 didn't even release their record, but i guess i'm talking more generally) they are basically only making music to make money.

nah no one really listens to metal anymore.  idk what we listen to tbh

also idk maybe we're in different places?  no one even KNEW about blink when i was in middle school, but the blew up when i was in high school and all four years i was there they were BAND IT WAS ASSUMED ALL WHITE KIDS LIKED.  it's high school music!  most of it is about dumb high school shit.  but i am saying, they are all like 33 years old.  if you told me they did not want to make dumb high school music anymore, i would not be too surprised.

so i guess horribly mediocre bands that contribute nothing new are only bad if they're "mainstream" while being "indie" actually makes them some of flowerpower's favs

why are you guys making fun of flowerpower so much anyway? looking at his charts he has a lot of really good bands there and i like almost all of his top 20. sure his charts are mostly indie but who gives a fuck. and it would be ridiculous to assume anyone would like everything he does.

i think your taste is good flowerpower dont listen to others they are wrong

new asobi seksu kinda blows btw, it's so... so bland. the more i listen to it, the less i like it. so i gave up on trying to get into it.
