[[Blink-182]], also known as '''blink-182''' if you want to be exact, is a three-piece pop-punk band from Poway, California. The band was formed in 1992 by Tom DeLonge (vocals/guitar), Mark Hoppus (vocals/bass) and Scott Raynor (drums). Raynor left the band in 1998, to be replaced by the semi-legendary Travis Barker (the guy with the tattoos who survived that plane crash). DeLonge left the group early in 2005, putting the band on hiatus until 2009, when they got back together "for real", according to them (due to Travis surviving said plane crash). Their current album, Neighborhoods, blends in elements from the side projects they've done during the hiatus.
 
Blink-182 are also known for their gross-out sense of humour, which they use for stage banter, and occasionally gets used for songs.
Line 35:
* [[Noodle Incident]]: Scott Rayner's departure from the band. Tom and Mark refuse to talk about it at all, nor has Scott. The most popular theories are: Mark had Scott fired due to an alleged drinking problem, Scott bailing because he wanted nothing to do with the band "selling out" with a more commercialized direction, and him being utterly unprepared with fame and the lengthy tours that the band would be going on to promote their music and basically bowed out on his own free will.
** Man Overboard is widely seen as Blink 182's "response" to the departure of Rayner, even though the band denies it. Of course, they refuse to say WHO the song is about and continue to refuse to talk about why Rayner quit.
( [[Prank Call]]: "What's My Age Again?" includes a prank call which is defeated by Caller ID.
* [[Pun-Based Title]]: ''Enema of the State'' and ''Take Off Your Pants and [[A Date with Rosie Palms|Jacket]]'' (complete with a [[Visual Pun]] cover)
* [[Rearrange the Song]]: The band has done this with several of their songs for live shows:
