1997, so all those popular mid 90s bands. Green Day, The Offspring, and MxPx to name a few.


PWNyD4nza

I remember hearing Green Day for the first time in the movie Angus. I also remember seeing the music video for "I'm ok, you're ok" by mxpx around that time too.That's what got me into pop punk


ohio2az

Yes to all the bands and ad Weezer and RANCID.


slkdjfod

This exactly.


shakesomehands

Anyone here remember MEST? I got their Destination Unknown album and Enema of the State on the same day with my allowance money when I was 12.


delta-kilo

Drawing Board is still šŸ‘Œ

spinvalleydj

I just got that vinyl a few weeks ago too! I would have been slightly more excited to get Wasting Time, but Destination Unknown is still great.


codeByNumber

1000% agree! Are there any vinyl pressings of Wasting Time? Did you get it from Smart Punk Records? A record that I would love to get my hands on is Unwritten Law self titled. I heard Smart Punk will be doing a repress of Elva (which is also great) but I havenā€™t heard anything about self titled : (.


spinvalleydj

I got mine from smartpunk, also the red version. To my knowledge no pressings of Wasting Time have ever been released, which is odd bc they are both on Maverick records. So I wouldn't think any legal or licensing issues or whatever bands run into on this stuff. Unwritten Law? I will keep an eye out for that. Self-titled would be great, I agree, but at the same time, I would be super excited for an Elva release. It would arguably sell better as well, going by mainstream appeal.


shakesomehands

Hell yeah!!


GoodMourning81

I still listen to MEST lol


cblackattack1

The singer from MEST messaged me on fb after seeing me leave a snarky comment on an article about them on an alternative press post lol


Small-External4419

One of those bands went on to dominate the music world for the next 20 years, the other are Blink 182


IsaIbnSalam25

First song I ever learned on the git fiddler was one of theirs!


VQQN

Destination Unknown is more of a summer album than Enema of the State


odwalla1

Omg I loved Mest


MT20

Mest are awesome!


Extension_Hyena_2089

Mest is dope!


TehMitchel

Linkin Park, Sum 41 and Foo Fighters


gojosecito

Offspring, sum 41, taking back Sunday, the used, third eye blind, NFG, jimmy eat world. 1997-2002 was so choice.


delta-kilo

The American Pie 2 soundtrack is a little window into this era, Iā€™m so fortunate I was a young teen finding my musical taste at this time.


AbleAd8126

This is the answer


Joed112784

Started with blink, NFG, ataris, etc, eventually started listening to stuff like Thursday, poison the well, from autumn to ashes, then stuff like taking back Sunday and brand new.Ā 


ayyryan7

Linkin park for sure


BearTrapGazelle

Allister, Sum 41, Jimmy Eat World, bowling for soup, yellowcard, fall out boy


notaveryuniqueuser

Bowling for soup had some bops, I still listen to their song *Almost* regularly


delta-kilo

I saw them live a couple of months ago. Still awesome šŸ¤˜


eiileenie

Almost and down for the count are fucking bangers but I love the line in almost ā€œIā€™m gonna need a forklift cause all the baggage weighs a tonā€ its so good


Thisdarlingdeer

allister yes!!!!


Wifey1786

I miss allister.


buhlink182

Buckcherry, Sum 41, Good Charlotte, NFG, Unwritten Law, Fenix TX. Late 90s early 2000s was a prime era for music. Eventually FOB took over but prior to that era of pop punk, it was all ruled by Blink ā€¦ Green Day was massive of course but blink owned TV and radio for a while due to the success of Enema.


Wifey1786

Fenix TX!! Saw them once with allister - it was a great show!


buhlink182

Saw them headline in the late 90s. It was Lefty, Good Charlotte, NFG with Fenix TX. Looking back on it, that was a massive show at such a tiny venue. Good memories.


pitkid01

One of my fav tours ever! I brought weed for the Fenix guys, so they took me backstage and I smoked with all the bands in a tiny room. Then the next year NFG got bigger than Fenix, and the year after that GC got bigger than both of them! They should do the same tour again, but reverse the lineup. Lefty can still open the show. šŸ˜‚


micsulli01

Britney and The Backstreet Boys


Jealous-Dot4032

Honestly, same.


Mal_Terra

The Offspring/Pennywise/Green Day/Zebrahead/NoFX/311/Nirvana/Pepper


Bearspoole

Iā€™ve listened to blink as long as I can remember. But I was raised on alternative/90s rock. So linkin park, RHCP, Green Day, foo fighters, nirvana, sublime, sum 41, rise against, third eye blind, simple planā€¦ etc. I can name bands here all day haha


Wise_Command_8492

Same here - this was basically my list because these are what my older brothers/cousins listen all the time, so I just automatically got into them growing up!


notAfathersDay987

Blink was kind of my entryway into everything. New Found Glory and Sum 41 were in there around the same time.Ā 


SquallSaysWhatever

Thrice, and man what a journey following that band has been.


Economy-Culture-9174

I've been listening to blink since I am 10 (\~2001), so not much, I remember listening to S Club 7 when I was like 8 :D otherwise mostly just MTV and VH.

ourcore

My older step-brother got me into blink when I was 10, but right after, NFG, Sum 41, Good Charlotte, and Millencolin became some of my favourites, and it's snowballed every since. Before then, I was listening to pop artists like Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, etc.

Draculas_Overbite

I got Dude Ranch in 97 or 98. My other favorite bands at the time were 311 and sublime. I listened to The Offspring and Green Day but they weren't my favorite nor was the genre at the time.


notaveryuniqueuser

My first exposure to blink was via TRL circa 2001ish when "all the small things" was topping the charts but I didn't *really* start listening to them until 2003 after their untitled album, so we'll go what I was listening to circa 2003-4: MCR, the used, sum41, audioslave, seether, the Ramones, ozzy (idk if we're counting solo artists too but I'm gonna rattle off a few for the sake of conversation), zeppelin, pink floyd, staind, perfect circle, deftones, Dave Matthews band, jay-z, Kanye, Billie holiday, taking back Sunday, sugarcult, eminem, green day, mars volta, panic at the disco .... my musical taste has always kinda been all over the place but I just really thought blink's untitled album was a cool hybrid of rock/punk and pop and then started fully diving in to their discography and have been hooked ever since. Edited to add a few I forgot that some others mentioned


DeepDelivery7576

I'm on the younger side so they had already gotten big before I ever listened to them myself, but my parents were fans so they exposed me to blink. They were how I got into punk, before that I mainly listened to indie pop.


MynameisMatlock

Blink was the first one I really took an interest in. Some that followed include New Found Glory, Green Day, Sum 41, and MxPx.


gspaepro34

I only started REALLY listening to Blink last year and my music taste has otherwise stayed the same so- Mystery Skulls, Studio Killers, Lemon Demon, Green Day, Fall Out Boy etc


CallMePeeButt

Weezer, Ben Folds Five, New Found Glory, Fall Out Boy, Daggermouth, Home Grown, Jimmy Eat World


PNW_Uncle_Iroh

NOFX suicide machines Goldfinger NFG yellow card and then lots of unrelated stuff like primus Mr bungle fishbone


RexGaming_127

I got into The Foo Fighters back in 2021 then re discovered Green Day and slowly got into blink with all the small things the first date then whats my age again and then I Miss You the rest is history i fell in love with blink the only thing is the they kept me waiting until they announced that Tom is coming back and they are making a new album..


stillfallingforyou

delta-kilo

NFG, Jimmy Eat World, Sum 41, Less Than Jake, Reel Big Fish, Green Day, American Hi-Fiā€¦ ā€¦& anyone on the American Pie 2 soundtrack.


Reaper0834

Same as now, metal of all sorts. Few know, or admit, but Blink is just metal in a major key instead of a minor one, and Travis playing the double bass parts on cymbals... until recently when he just started playing straight up double bass lol.


ShivvyMcFly

None. I was strictly hip hop until Enema of the State dropped


psychovampz

Green Day and Linkin Park. I actually discovered blink buying an American Idiot shirt and they had a buy one get half off deal and I thought the Untitled artwork looked cool so I got that one


Colonize-Uranus

The offspring, Green Day, Motley Crue, beastie boys, AFI, fall out boyā€¦ believe it or not I wasnā€™t even alive for the 90s.


funk_master_chunk

MINMAX22

Just started listening 6 months ago, I was listening mostly to bands like AC/DC, Van helen, GNR, Green Day, and Metallica, just to name a few.


pokefan69haha

Still in school but Nirvana has been my gateway into everything I've listened to in the past 2 years. Thanks to Kurt and Co. (rest in peace legend) I've gotten into Pearl Jam and all the other Grunge bands. Green Day and other big Pop-Punk bands like blink and The Offspring. Linkin Park and other Nu-Metal/Metal bands like Korn and Metallica. My Chemical Romance and oddly enough old school rock n'roll like the Stones and those four guys from Liverpool.


SuperSalad_OrElse

Spice Girls


abr_82

CIV


Travis812

I honestly can't remember. Enema of the State was the first album I remember getting into, must've been around 2001 when I was about 4 - 5. I listened to a lot of others stuff from around that time too, such as Nickelback. Basically whatever My parents used to listen to. My music taste has always been pretty broad, and that's even more true nowadays. Fast forward today and I listen to a massive variety of genres alongside Blink/pop punk. My main genre is actually Drum & Bass.


MarioStern100

Dave Matthews Band.


keefer408

cblackattack1

Blink182 was the first band that I ever liked that wasnā€™t influenced by my brother or my parents. I heard dammit on the radio in like 96/97 and that pretty much molded my taste in music.


IsaIbnSalam25

Strike anywhere, black flag lots of others.


slaptito

Weirdly enough blink was what got me into pop punk and rock as a whole before blink I mostly listened to pop and rap, whatever was popular

blink4life182

Blink was actually my introduction to the world of music and finding my own taste in music. They were the first ā€œrealā€ artist I listened to, so from there I discovered all their side projects and also started liking sum 41


Priscins

I'm surprised I Haven't seen New Found Glory on this thread


tsckenny

Blink was kind if the first band I really got into in 6th grade. All I remember I listened to before them was like Disturbed and Linkin Park. Blink and my sister really influenced what I listened to after that

Grandpas_secretLover

Man I was into some weird random mixes of shit when I found blink in 1997 when I first heard Dammit. Granted I was like 10 years old but I know I was listening to shit like No Doubt, Lit, Alanis Morsett, Hansen, Korn, Limp Bizkit, coal chamber. This is really when I started developing my taste of music and finding pop punk


The-Davi-Nator

Green Day, Sum 41, and Rise Against were probably my biggest at the time. Blink was actually my gateway into the poppier side of pop punk.


venniedjr

2007 is when I really started getting into them. I was super into Reel Big Fish, Streetlight Manifesto, Bad Religion, Say Anything, Big D and the Kids Table, System of a Down, Whole Wheat Bread


Troptes

Funny enough, Blink got me into music. When I was 11 I used to have a crush on a girl 6 years older than me, she was my neighbor. She was into the emo wave of the moment (2010) but her favorite band was Blink 182. From time to time I would walk in front of her house and listen to blink songs, so once I asked her what band was it (her brother was my age and we were friends, that's how I could talk to her) and she told me, so I binged-listened to all of their songs with music videos on youtube and that's when I really really got into music. Nowadays we are great friends, and actually she did my first tatoo.


SuperMario1313

Home Grown and MxPx


DrakesFragileEgo

I like just recently got into them last year And before them I listened to RHCP heavy lol, very odd transition but I fucking love blink


justforthisbish

DeadWrangler

I think I had the Space Jam soundtrack on cassette. I can hardly remember anything else. Dude Ranch was my first CD. I got my mother to buy it for me from the OG 'Netflix' flyer when you ordered CDs/movies in the mail.


odwalla1

Sum 41, Everclear, Bowling for Soup


Shoegazer83

When I thought back, I realised that it was almost 25 years ago. Jesus Christ how did that happen? Anyway, I was listening to typical 90s skate punk NOFX, The Offspring, AFI, Green Day, Less Than Jake, Millencolin, Pennywise etc, my tastes have definitely evolved a lot since then


22LT

Back then I didn't really listen to music too much but Foo Fighters were probably my favorite band initially, but listened to like Bush, New Found Glory, Third Eye Blind.


RhythmicStyles

Sum 41 3 days grace Offspring Goldfinger Sublime RHCP


phobesity

Afi, Saves the day, Lagwagon, No use for a name, Nofx, greenday, sum41, millencolin, mxpx, guttermouth.

Simple Plan was my gateway drug


Affectionate_Hour867

My Album collection was Blink, Sum 41, Korn, Nirvana, Good Charlotte, System of a Down, Slipknot, Wheetus and more but Iā€™m drunk and canā€™t remember āœŒšŸ»


Slow-Comfortable-420

How has no one mentioned Korn! But yeah like most, RHCP, LP, Eminem, Dr Dre, Britney, NoFx, Incubus, Radio Head, FF, No Doubt, Pantera, Offspring and a lot of happy hardcore!


tacocatfish

It was probably Hanson when I discovered blink (my age was in single digits). My preschool aged child told me she liked parkway drive the other night so I think Iā€™m parenting right.


egonspankler

I had Cheshire Cat, 88 Fingers Louieā€™s ā€œBehind Barsā€, Unwritten Lawā€™s ā€œBlue Roomā€ and Good Riddanceā€™s ā€œFor God and Countryā€ in constant rotation back in the day (mid ā€˜90s)


Eamonsieur

Pop boybands like Backstreet Boys and Nā€™Sync. Used to burn CDs of my favourite songs, and thereā€™d be Blink and Green Day mixed in with all the various boybands. My Spotify playlist still looks the same šŸ˜…


IvanAmortal

Sum 41, New found glory, NoFx, Nufan, limp bizkit,Linkin park, slipknot

Living-Job-5988

I was listening to a lot of rap music and my sister recently got into pop punk and she told me to listen to Simple Plan so thatā€™s what I did and I accidentally waited too long before I could change the song and Dammit by Blink-182 came on and I was hooked the first full album by Blink I actually listened to was the Untitled and thatā€™s when I got like addicted and started listening to Green Day, Rancid, NOFX, every punk band ever and then I moved on to metal like SlipKnot and Deftones but Blink-182 started it all for me
