Blink 182 is one of if not the single most influential bands of the past 20 years

Blink-182 is by far the most influential band I've ever come across. Music is a HUGE part of my life, and I'm proud to say that Blink has played a tremendous role of influencing me to grow up. They showed me that it's okay to take your time growing up, and to never take what life throws at you too seriously. I'm still in High School, And I have yet another two years to go. But I have to say, the farther and farther I get into my High School experience, the more the lyrics to their songs make sense to me. Many wouldn't consider Blink influential due to their use of vulgar language and inappropriate jokes, but it's all in good fun. I see them as three best friends in amazing band. They'll do anything to make their fans laugh and appreciate them. When they broke up back in 2005 on my birthday, I was devastated. My mind couldn't even function at that point knowing that I'd never be able to see my favorite band preform live. But what do you know, they're back together, and I'm seeing them live in August. Hopefully sometime soon, I'll be able to meet Mark, Tom, and Travis, and tell them how much I appreciate everything they've done.
