@@GamerKiller2347 that's because some people don't like change I can appreciate what blink did on this album the song is pretty good too if rock bands aren't allowed to stretch outside one specific genre then every album would become stale what with the same sound over and over and over again
Sum 41 - Out For Blood starts with different sounding but goes on with blow up guitars. blink-182 - Blame It On My Youth starts with different sounding and goes on and on...
I’ve been a Blink fan for a long time, and I’m not gonna lie, I like this song. I can see why people don’t like it because of how “electronic” it is and it’s not like their classics, but this is a good song in my opinion.
If they wrote a song that sounded like it's from their 2003 album then people would complain it all sounds the same. There's a contigent of people who won't be happy no matter what
@Nothing I lishen to them also But how they used to play their song . How their songs bring us the emotions , their albums where great but now they are not same .
This shouldn’t even be considered the “lyric video” the rest of the songs on the album have traditional lyric vids. This just feels like the perfect vid for this song. This simply IS the music video
I hated on this song when it first came out. After listening to nine A TON, I get excited when this song comes on. This is actually a great song, I’m glad a lot of people are realizing that like I did. Banger. Sorry blink !
This is a really weird first blink-182 song, but it was my first and im so glad I liked it. This song opened up all kinds of doors that led to some of the best music I’ve ever heard
To quote Bo Burnham "Do not stick with me through thick. If I stop entertaining you, throw me to the curb. You wouldn’t stick with your mechanic if he stopped fixing your car."
I actually really appreciate them trying to modify their music to what modern music sounds like today. Old blink is still there for us to listen to, just search it. However, i do agree that this song sounds better at 1.25x speed. I still love this album tho. California and this album seems like their transition into a different style and I'm here for this
"I was raised on ritlin every since I was a little kid" A LOT of people can relate to having lazy parents that would do anything just to calm you down.. Really hits home for those who know what I'm talking about
Right here man, I was on that shit for most of my elementary school years until they learned it was fucking with my heart and we only learned that when I was playing baseball
I think everyone who listens to these bands misunderstands the tone, probably because they're too young to get it. Not a stab, it's a fact. All these bands are going back and talking about WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO BE YOUNG. They're not trying to be something else. They're very much themselves still. Though generations look back on the 90s and early 2000s with nostalgia, this was actually a VERY painful time for the youth. Hence the slower beat: they've slowed down in age, this song is about reflection. This is honesty at its best in music. Thanks Blink. Cheers boys, your generation still understands the pain, even if now only understands the colours. To quote OLP, we are all innocent.
I'll be honest, when this song first dropped, it did absolutely nothing for me. In fact, it even had me worried for the direction the album was taking. Now in context of the whole album, I actually find it perfectly harmless and catchy 🤷♂️
Since Tom left blink-182 and Mark actually started the band with Alex Gaskarth this sounds more like a new era of All Time Low to me somehow I just can imagine Alex singing this
Wouldn't be surprised if Mark and Alex wrote this when they were writing for Simple Creatures, and it didn't make the EP so Mark decided to use it for the album.
@@kaipfannschmidt4140 Song wasn't produced by Feldmann though, but they desperately want to be still relevant with this song, they want to be on the pop radio among imagine dragons, onerepublic etc.
they’re still the same blink, their music just sounds different, and honestly i love it. they were kinda forced to change their ‘style’ considering tom left, they can’t make everyone happy but they can make themselves happy, and isn’t that all that matters? if they like it then great, lets be happy for them instead of shitting on them.
For those who are hatin', don't get stuck in the past! People change and grow, so does BLINK-182. They might sound a bit different, but I still love em. If you don't agree with me, blame it on my youth!
*ya'll be thankful at least the band is active and not dead, this is the new music we are not in the 90s anymore, if you don't like it then L E A V E peacefully like the one who left and ya'll keep on wanting him back while he isn't giving a fxxx. +++ matt skiba thanks for existing*
Sure, the new Blink exists, but it's life has been sucked away by Matt and they're now a shell of what they used to be. Also the guy who left, Tom, he's still in Angles and Airwaves and you can tell that there is actual love and emotion poured out into that project so... That's more than what can be said about current Blink182.
XTE Productions I like that too but enema is the one I just always gravitate too! Reminds me so much of being 17 and at college! (I went to college in 2005)
When they said the new album was gonna be much darker like the Self Titled album, I guess I expected them to drop the more poppy sound of their new music. But that’s on me they never said that, that’s just what I was expecting. That doesn’t necessarily mean it’s bad either, very catchy. The rest of the album could be very different as well.
Yeah I dunno, it just sounds over produced to me and made to sound like pop. I have come to terms with the fact that blink will never be the same again lmao at the time it came out I didn’t really care for neighbourhoods too much but I was just so happy for new Blink, but looking back it’s actually really good in my opinion (still nowhere near their old stuff)
Love this song, I know a lot of people disliked it, but I love the fact that it's catchy, yet it experiment with some cool lo-fi textures and a great drum arrangement.
I teared up the first time I heard the song I don’t know about you guys. But I’ve been waiting for blink-182 for a long time to come out with something and this upcoming album. I’m happy very very very happy I looked up to these guys as a kid.
Blame it, blame it on my youth I wasn't born with the rich blood I started out with plenty of nothing at all I got stuck in the thick mud The flash flood, punk rock, and the alcohol I was raised on a rerun I was bored to death, so I started a band Cut my teeth on a safety dance My attention span never stood a chance It's too late Can you forgive me now? You could never kill my high I'm the ink and you're the headline (oh) Blame it, blame it on my youth Blame it, blame it on my youth You can never block my shine I've been lost since 1999 (oh) Blame it, blame it on my youth Blame it, blame it on my youth (Blame, blame, blame on my youth) I wasn't made for the good life I ended up getting stuck on the side of the road I tripped and fell on hard times Tough breaks are the only kind I know I was left on a door step I was scared to death with nowhere to go Cut myself on the neighbors' fence That I hopped as the cops tried to take me in It's too late Can you forgive me now? You could never kill my high I'm the ink and you're the headline (oh) Blame it, blame it on my youth Blame it, blame it on my youth You could never block my shine I've been lost since 1999 (oh) Blame it, blame it on my youth Blame it, blame it on my youth I was raised on the Ritalin Ever since I was a little kid (little kid) No one ever seemed to give a shit (give a shit) And I don't need an excuse I don't need an excuse You could never kill my high I'm the ink and you're the headline Blame it, blame it on my youth Blame it, blame it on my youth You can never block my shine I've been lost since 1999 (oh) Blame it, blame it on my youth Blame it, blame it on my youth You can never kill my high (endless summer) I'm the ink and you're the headline (stretching on and on) Blame it, blame it on my youth (oh, oh) Blame it, blame it on my youth (oh, oh) Endless summer Stretching on and on
@@keirangeorge9046 you know like 100k people had this same viewpoint. There was definitely a perception there, somewhere, that this shit was supposed to be 2003 album tier.
@@keirangeorge9046 Self titled was the peak of experimental lol. they didn't know what the fuck to do and literally did it in a year. blame it on my youth just sounds formulaic and bland
Listening to this as a 30 year old blink fan. I really like it. Speeding it up to 1.25 sounds like I'm 16 again :D wishing I had my endless summers back again.
This is the kind of album that is going to take a acquired taste. It’ll grow on us overtime. I don’t really like this track, but the more I listen to it, the more I like it. Keep it up, blink!
@@DavidEzequiel I feel like the only reason people shit on California isn't necessarily because they think it's bad. But rather they prefer Tom to Matt.
The dedication to writing all those lines!! I seriously applaud this like even writing lyrics when I was little and didn't have a phone, wanting to memorize songs.. that was a hassel but THIS ! LOVE IT
Yeah this is just awful. It feels to me they are trying to emulate everything on the radio the last 5 years. I think Angels and airwaves new record is going to smoke this one. At least Tom still has guitar riffs in his music.
Some say marks supirior. Some say toms supirior. Theyre both as flawed as each other. Whats truly missing is Jerry Finn. The secret 4th member of the band :( RIP
@@donbeck8835 neighborhoods? Nah fam that albums boring asf. I don't think that everything about the album is trash but just really meteocre to listen thru in it's entirety.
I feel bad for Blink for getting all this hate, It’s just sad, they are trying, As long as they are having fun making music they Are alright! You guys just need to become TRUE fans and supporters and support the damn band whatever turn they take.
I'm sorry, but they kind of compared this new album to the untitled album and when I listen to Stockholm Syndrom and then to this, I feel like they have completly lost it.
@@GhoulNamedDeath I know. It's not really that different though. They already did a more poppy sound on Neighborhoods and California. Even the darker pop sound they seem to go for here was done on California deluxe. They could have compared that to untitled and I would have been more fine with it
I like it. Gate keeping on a band doesn't make you or them better. It wont bring back nostalgia or force a band to play the sound you like. Bands are made of people. People mature and grow. Their sound changes over time. If you were a "fan", then it shouldn't bother you. Cheers bubs, to the sounds in your heads.
You have your right to love this song. I hate the song. I think it’s terrible. However, I can’t stand the “if you’re truly a fan” argument. A fan can criticize works that they don’t particularly like. If nobody criticized things then music movies and video games would terrible today.
I like the song, but I agree that it doesn’t make you less of a fan to criticize or dislike it. I still like their old stuff better, but I can easily jam to this. I’d also be curious to see what a person who had never heard a blink song would think of this. At that point there would be no Tom to compare to.
Ethan Cowlbeck that would be interesting. However I’m not comparing this to Tom. I’m comparing it to the album this not 3 years ago. That record was 10x better than this. I actually thought California was a solid 8/10 great record. Not sure about this new album though now.
Braille McLoughlin we are a hard group to please haha. California was great imo. I didn’t understand the hate for that record. But I can fully understand the anger toward this track. My issue is it just lyrically isn’t up to snuff and the chorus is so bland. Considering there is 7 credited lyricists/writers on this track, that’s sad. Blink needs to go back to it just being the three of them writing and it’ll turn out much better I’m sure. They proved it in California.
Not the blink that i know... but its still pretty good... we have to understand that as time goes on.. so does the music... it kinda matures and evolves into something... the summation of all the years doing what you love
INTHECAR11 exactly. N tbh I might sell my 200 dollars blink ticket. Cuz shit like this makes me not even wanna listen to them anymore n plus the concert got no pit ticket smh
INTHECAR11 the new Ava album will sound great I think because chasing shadows was really good n I dig rebel girl. Plus I have a VIP for the Ava concert . Excited for that
Crazy comments, you read the lyrics and this is what blink was always about, relating to key moments of your life specially youth. Of course, their fans are not 15 anymore and music has evolved, so they did accordingly. Nice song.
The music may have evolved but the lyrics haven't. My problem with the song is that it seems disingenuous, like he's trying to write rebelious lyrics but he has nothing to rebel against. It's almost like they're pandering to their older fans who still haven't grown up. Also this song instrumentally is horrible, it's bland and tasteless which is suprising when you consider that this is a blink 182 song. It sounds like a boring pop song that could have been written by anyone. But i mean if you enjoy it more power to you, maybe it's just me or something.
@@lucasbaum2228 when someone arguments like you did you have to value that. "It's almost like they're pandering to their older fans who still haven't grown up." man, 90% of blink-182 fit into that. anyway, i don't agree with your technical comments about the song. It is enjoyable, it is relatable and it is blink
I’m no music critic but here are my gripes: -The flow is predictable. You always know what the next verse is going to be. It feels like mark is doing all the lyric writing while Matt copies what mark did but makes it “different”. -It feels like there trying to do what FOB did almost a decade ago, change there genre. There’s a 6 letter word that comes to mind for FOB. Worked. I feel like Blink is trying to change there genre but they did it to late. -It feels like they went back on there word. If I’m not mistaken Tom wanted to progress as an artist with Blink. Mark didn’t want that. He wanted to keep the band punk. Look what happened. I’m still a blink fan but I don’t like where this band is going
I agree, but with a different end of the stick. Matt adds the predictability/ genericism; uncreative lyrics (arguably predictable if you pay attention to Matt's style), the "wayyyyy-oooo" styled choruses and outros where it sounds like a crowd is singing. Why do I think this is Matt? Cos +44 was Travis and Mark, and +44 were excellent.
@@IllBeDARNd I miss the vareity in a blink album. Some Mark songs, some tom songs and some where they both sing. In the new albums its just, mark sings, Matt sings chorus, Matt sings second verse, chorus, they both song the bridge. SMH
My thoughts about what they're sayin' about the upcoming album, its different but i guess it will be similar to what BMTH did, it will be a lot of variety, travis said in an interview, that he made a blast beat(normaly used in metal bands) and we will have the chainsmokers probabily will bring some eletronic things and popish, and pharrell williams(IDK what i should expect) but pharrell probabily will bring something POP, but in general i think it will be a pop album.
I came here from a Pitchfork article saying Blink-182 had ditched guitars, but this is clearly guitar driven, just with strong effects. The new sound isn't bad at all but it's not a strong song compared to the old stuff
wtf is this All Time Low-182? im not crying cause Tom left, but im glad he's making music with AVA again...this does not sound anything like the band i grew up listening to
I mean, blink has been around for over 20 years. I'd be disappointed if there music hadn't evolved over that time. And yes, I have been listening since the 90's
@@jakereed5425 wrong kind of evolution. they're just trying to make radio hits. theres no passion or catchy riffs or drum patterns that made them iconic. ruining their legacy at this point
@@jakereed5425 bands absolutely don't need to evolve and start making shit pop music. I can name a free bands that have been around for a very long time that sound the same and make great music..
I never used to like this song but after going through some stuff I heard it again on the radio today and it hit me differently. I think sometimes we need to listen to songs after a while to appreciate them later
My theory: Blink-182 is going through a similar phase as Weezer did with “Raditude.” In a few years, Tom will make his return to the band, and they will start making quality music once again, just as Weezer did with “Everything Will Be Alright In The End.”
This was the song that got me into blink, it was my favorite song when it came out and the only other blink songs I had heard were All The Small Things and M+M’s because my parents showed me, now they are my favorite band of all time and even tho I don’t really enjoy this song now it has a W place in my heart
Seriously! Blink has been my favorite band but ever since california I just lost interest... mark's music has been quite a disappointment... I still love tom's music but I just wish he would focus more on music
Yes, i first i was like mm🤔 but then when i heard it a couple of times it actually really sounds good! It needs to grow on you. The chorus and the bridge are so awesome!
How did the same guy that wrote... "You're cold with disappointment While I'm drowning in the next room The last contagious victim of this plague between us I'm sick with apprehension I'm crippled from exhaustion And I dread the moment when you finally come to kill me" ...write this?
And the guy who wrote... “Shaking like a dog shitting razor blades, waking up next to nothing after, dreaming of you and me. Waking up all alone, waking up so relieved. While you’re taking your time with apologies. I’m making my plans for revenge. Red eyes on orange horizons. If Columbus was wrong I’d drive straight off the edge”
"I listen to you cry A cry for less attention But both my hands are tied And I'm pushed into the deep end I listen to you talk But talk is cheap And my mouth is filled with blood From trying not to speak So search for an excuse And someone to believe you In foreign dressing rooms I'm empty with the need to Curse my enemies forever Let's slit our wrists and burn down something beautiful This desperation leaves me overjoyed With fading lights that lead us past the lives that we destroy Please understand I lay rotting where I fall. I'm dead from bad intentions Suffocated and enbalmed, and now all our dreams are chased in You swore you wouldn't lose, then lost your brain You make a sound that feels like pain So please understand This isn't just goodbye This is I can't stand you " +44 - No it isn't
This why I love blink, always growing and never looking back and never repeating themselves to much. People will always hate cause they want the same shit all the time but trust me when you get older shit changes and you wanna push yourself to experimentation.
Okay - can we just appreciate that Blink 182 is even still around? Most bands from the early 2000’s just stopped - even if you don’t like their new sound it’s just because bands evolve - the same thing over and over gets old. It really just be that way 🙌🏼
I'm fine with bands changing and evolving, but that's not really what happened here. I defended them when it came to Neighborhoods and Dogs Eating Dogs, because that was an actual natural progression of their music. California was okay too, even if Matt was still just getting his bearings. For NINE though, Blink barely even wrote the songs for this album. It would've been nice to see more songs actually written by Blink themselves, rather than mainstream pop songwriters like Sam Hollander or Ali Tamposi. Only On Some Emo Shit is completely written by Blink.
I need to say this. I hated this song when it just came out because it was not what I was expecting from blink-182, but now I really appreciate the risk they took by adding new styles to their music and now I love the song
Now everybody can be absolutely sure that Tom Delonge was the mastermind in Blink-182. Without him you’re completely lost. Please, Mark and Travis, stop destroying a band that so many people (used to) love!
Yes, the guy that held creative genius power on the self titled and the absolute piece of garbage Neighborhoods album. Yes - this song isn't that good and I don't like the direction either. Tom wrote tons of garbage like this too though. PS - for all the Tom lovers, why are you here exactly? AVA came out with something new a week ago. No matter what this band puts out you'll hate it because Tom isn't part of it. Get lost.
Unpopular opinion here. I love that song, it's not the "old" blink 182, but it's different than their other songs. It's not that edgy emo/punk style that much anymore and I love it. Many people hate the lack of guitars in this song but in my opinion it lets everything pop out and shine through. Keep experimenting Blink I'll be your biggest fan no matter what.
Zachary Ray it just carried the torch for the next stage of Blink’s evolution. And then listening to Generational Divide and Happy Days, I love these songs buy it feels like we’re right back to a California Part 2 album. And we already had that on the deluxe edition
"Raised on a rerun" is perhaps the most genius and fitting description of us late '80s and early '90s kids. Morally, literally, and everything in-between.
I'm not sure how much i enjoy this track. I really enjoy the verses and Skiba does have some nice guitar work on the bridge. But it's that chorus man, I'm afraid it feels a little underwhelming. That being said, I'm still excited as fuck for new blink. I think this new album has promise, and could be great.
@@Arcadia6227 Not really guitar related, but I feel like the way they tune their voices in production makes Skiba not sound like himself. I'm very glad A3 released a new album last year. I need more of that.
Haters are gonna hate, so let 'em. I love it. The melody takes me back, and for a moment I can actually forget all the bullshit, and focus on a time when I still felt good, and had a positive outlook on life. Everyday now is just a struggle to stay motivated enough to not step off of the curb in front of a bus.
Been a fan since "Dude Ranch". See, sometimes visions and directions change. The sound might be different, but the message is the same. Keep crying for the old ways, the world is going to evolve around you. This is Blink. It's not 20 years ago.
I genuinely think that this song is a good one, after hearing it for a few times it echoes in my head over and over again. And I really like matt's part. I know many of older blink 182 fans wont like this song, I feel that, been following them since my mid school years. But all I could say is that I'm just a really big fan of the band, I'll always listen and follow whatever they'd create or do and I know I'll like them whatever it is.

The punk part is so far forgotten at this point
Haven't been punk since '03
It's not even good pop though. Compare this to some of classic well written pop songs of the 80's.

Ritalin doesn’t calm you down it’s a stimulant. It raises your blood pressure and heart rate to boost focus and energy but has some side effects
I think everyone who listens to these bands misunderstands the tone, probably because they're too young to get it. Not a stab, it's a fact.
All these bands are going back and talking about WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO BE YOUNG. They're not trying to be something else. They're very much themselves still. Though generations look back on the 90s and early 2000s with nostalgia, this was actually a VERY painful time for the youth. Hence the slower beat: they've slowed down in age, this song is about reflection.
This is honesty at its best in music. Thanks Blink. Cheers boys, your generation still understands the pain, even if now only understands the colours. To quote OLP, we are all innocent.
Hell yeah this thing needs more likes
I'll be honest, when this song first dropped, it did absolutely nothing for me. In fact, it even had me worried for the direction the album was taking. Now in context of the whole album, I actually find it perfectly harmless and catchy 🤷♂️
I feel the exact same way myself!
Since Tom left blink-182 and Mark actually started the band
with Alex Gaskarth
this sounds more like a new era of All Time Low to me
somehow I just can imagine Alex singing this
Wow now i just want an all time low version of this song.
Wouldn't be surprised if Mark and Alex wrote this when they were writing for Simple Creatures, and it didn't make the EP so Mark decided to use it for the album.
Thats exactly what im thinking when the verse comes in
You nailed it... Thanks to God I wasn't excited.
I'm really disappointed >:(
This song reminded me of many bands... except blink-182
Edit.: It's not a critical. It's a good song.
Sounds so much more like a Simple Plan song, especially in the chorus
30 Seconds to Mars
Like all theses other bands that are produced by Feldmann ?
@@kaipfannschmidt4140 Song wasn't produced by Feldmann though, but they desperately want to be still relevant with this song, they want to be on the pop radio among imagine dragons, onerepublic etc.

Yep definetly..
they’re still the same blink, their music just sounds different, and honestly i love it. they were kinda forced to change their ‘style’ considering tom left, they can’t make everyone happy but they can make themselves happy, and isn’t that all that matters? if they like it then great, lets be happy for them instead of shitting on them.
For those who are hatin', don't get stuck in the past! People change and grow, so does BLINK-182. They might sound a bit different, but I still love em. If you don't agree with me, blame it on my youth!
*ya'll be thankful at least the band is active and not dead, this is the new music we are not in the 90s anymore, if you don't like it then L E A V E peacefully like the one who left and ya'll keep on wanting him back while he isn't giving a fxxx. +++ matt skiba thanks for existing*
YES well said
Sure, the new Blink exists, but it's life has been sucked away by Matt and they're now a shell of what they used to be.
Also the guy who left, Tom, he's still in Angles and Airwaves and you can tell that there is actual love and emotion poured out into that project so... That's more than what can be said about current Blink182.
Enema of the state will always be my fave album they did!
XTE Productions I like that too but enema is the one I just always gravitate too! Reminds me so much of being 17 and at college! (I went to college in 2005)
XTE Productions I must say thou first date is probably my fave song blink did. Plus aliens exist. Oh god I can’t chose! So many!!!
For me take off your pants and jacket, but even Enema of the state and blink-182
Dude ranch was the best imo
@@lukemccordick5164 Dude Ranch never gets any love.
When they said the new album was gonna be much darker like the Self Titled album, I guess I expected them to drop the more poppy sound of their new music. But that’s on me they never said that, that’s just what I was expecting. That doesn’t necessarily mean it’s bad either, very catchy. The rest of the album could be very different as well.
This isn't catchy at all. I forget how it goes 5 minutes after listening.
except Tom wrote those songs and Tom is gone
provyprov Tom and mark both wrote them
Yeah I dunno, it just sounds over produced to me and made to sound like pop. I have come to terms with the fact that blink will never be the same again lmao at the time it came out I didn’t really care for neighbourhoods too much but I was just so happy for new Blink, but looking back it’s actually really good in my opinion (still nowhere near their old stuff)
Love this song, I know a lot of people disliked it, but I love the fact that it's catchy, yet it experiment with some cool lo-fi textures and a great drum arrangement.
From The Rock Show to The EDM Show
TOXICXV MUSIC this is definitely not EDM at all lol
@@SkyeRocket where is the bass solo, epic guitar riffs, insane travis part?? I miss them so much
This is not EDM, more like pop
Youre right dude
When did Blink 182 do bass solos?
BLINK IS A VICTIM OF TODAY'S MUSIC TREND!!!
They aren't victims of anything, they're choosing to make music like this.
They are perfectly capable of writing good music but they have John Feldman driving this sinking ship .
I don't see it. I don't think it is like what others are making and that is pretty cool.

Blame it, blame it on my youth
I wasn't born with the rich blood
I started out with plenty of nothing at all
I got stuck in the thick mud
The flash flood, punk rock, and the alcohol
I was raised on a rerun
I was bored to death, so I started a band
Cut my teeth on a safety dance
My attention span never stood a chance
It's too late
Can you forgive me now?
You could never kill my high
I'm the ink and you're the headline (oh)
Blame it, blame it on my youth
Blame it, blame it on my youth
You can never block my shine
I've been lost since 1999 (oh)
Blame it, blame it on my youth
Blame it, blame it on my youth
(Blame, blame, blame on my youth)
I wasn't made for the good life
I ended up getting stuck on the side of the road
I tripped and fell on hard times
Tough breaks are the only kind I know
I was left on a door step
I was scared to death with nowhere to go
Cut myself on the neighbors' fence
That I hopped as the cops tried to take me in
It's too late
Can you forgive me now?
You could never kill my high
I'm the ink and you're the headline (oh)
Blame it, blame it on my youth
Blame it, blame it on my youth
You could never block my shine
I've been lost since 1999 (oh)
Blame it, blame it on my youth
Blame it, blame it on my youth
I was raised on the Ritalin
Ever since I was a little kid (little kid)
No one ever seemed to give a shit (give a shit)
And I don't need an excuse
I don't need an excuse
You could never kill my high
I'm the ink and you're the headline
Blame it, blame it on my youth
Blame it, blame it on my youth
You can never block my shine
I've been lost since 1999 (oh)

How can you say it will take an acquired taste and it will grow on us like you've heard the whole thing already?
It grew on me haha I'm enjoying it a lot.
What was even the point of starting Simple Creatures with Alex if Mark was going to make the same music for Blink anyway?

Wow never thought I'd ever be done with Blink. Well everything has to come to an end sometime.
Yeah this is just awful. It feels to me they are trying to emulate everything on the radio the last 5 years. I think Angels and airwaves new record is going to smoke this one. At least Tom still has guitar riffs in his music.
Sad, but yea 😕
At least there's still Angels and Airwaves
Well I guess this is growing up...
Give the rest of the album a shot first, I'm sure it's gonna be pretty diverse track-to-track.

Ikr!!! I love their music no matter what
Your comment is too true!
I'm sorry, but they kind of compared this new album to the untitled album and when I listen to Stockholm Syndrom and then to this, I feel like they have completly lost it.
@@Jug_or_not They compared it in the way that it's just different.
@@GhoulNamedDeath I know. It's not really that different though. They already did a more poppy sound on Neighborhoods and California. Even the darker pop sound they seem to go for here was done on California deluxe. They could have compared that to untitled and I would have been more fine with it
I like it. Gate keeping on a band doesn't make you or them better. It wont bring back nostalgia or force a band to play the sound you like. Bands are made of people. People mature and grow. Their sound changes over time. If you were a "fan", then it shouldn't bother you. Cheers bubs, to the sounds in your heads.
You have your right to love this song. I hate the song. I think it’s terrible. However, I can’t stand the “if you’re truly a fan” argument. A fan can criticize works that they don’t particularly like. If nobody criticized things then music movies and video games would terrible today.
I like the song, but I agree that it doesn’t make you less of a fan to criticize or dislike it. I still like their old stuff better, but I can easily jam to this. I’d also be curious to see what a person who had never heard a blink song would think of this. At that point there would be no Tom to compare to.
Ethan Cowlbeck that would be interesting. However I’m not comparing this to Tom. I’m comparing it to the album this not 3 years ago. That record was 10x better than this. I actually thought California was a solid 8/10 great record. Not sure about this new album though now.
Braille McLoughlin we are a hard group to please haha. California was great imo. I didn’t understand the hate for that record. But I can fully understand the anger toward this track. My issue is it just lyrically isn’t up to snuff and the chorus is so bland. Considering there is 7 credited lyricists/writers on this track, that’s sad. Blink needs to go back to it just being the three of them writing and it’ll turn out much better I’m sure. They proved it in California.
This sound like the type of song that will be on fifa kinda feel it’s going be to on FIFA20
Exactly what i thought😂
People hate the reboot, but I dig it. It's not Blink but it has a good vibe.
Not the blink that i know... but its still pretty good... we have to understand that as time goes on.. so does the music... it kinda matures and evolves into something... the summation of all the years doing what you love
I was excited for this... But now I'm more excited for AvA's new album...
INTHECAR11 exactly. N tbh I might sell my 200 dollars blink ticket. Cuz shit like this makes me not even wanna listen to them anymore n plus the concert got no pit ticket smh
INTHECAR11 the new Ava album will sound great I think because chasing shadows was really good n I dig rebel girl. Plus I have a VIP for the Ava concert . Excited for that
Yeah im with you there, i thought this was pretty good but Rebel Girl honestly was just much better.

raiden z I’m pretty sure he’s fine being white.
Crazy comments, you read the lyrics and this is what blink was always about, relating to key moments of your life specially youth. Of course, their fans are not 15 anymore and music has evolved, so they did accordingly. Nice song.
The music may have evolved but the lyrics haven't. My problem with the song is that it seems disingenuous, like he's trying to write rebelious lyrics but he has nothing to rebel against. It's almost like they're pandering to their older fans who still haven't grown up. Also this song instrumentally is horrible, it's bland and tasteless which is suprising when you consider that this is a blink 182 song. It sounds like a boring pop song that could have been written by anyone. But i mean if you enjoy it more power to you, maybe it's just me or something.
@@lucasbaum2228 when someone arguments like you did you have to value that. "It's almost like they're pandering to their older fans who still haven't grown up." man, 90% of blink-182 fit into that. anyway, i don't agree with your technical comments about the song.

I’m no music critic but here are my gripes:
-The flow is predictable. You always know what the next verse is going to be. It feels like mark is doing all the lyric writing while Matt copies what mark did but makes it “different”.
-It feels like there trying to do what FOB did almost a decade ago, change there genre. There’s a 6 letter word that comes to mind for FOB. Worked. I feel like Blink is trying to change there genre but they did it to late.
-It feels like they went back on there word. If I’m not mistaken Tom wanted to progress as an artist with Blink. Mark didn’t want that. He wanted to keep the band punk. Look what happened.
I’m still a blink fan but I don’t like where this band is going
I agree, but with a different end of the stick.
Matt adds the predictability/ genericism; uncreative lyrics (arguably predictable if you pay attention to Matt's style), the "wayyyyy-oooo" styled choruses and outros where it sounds like a crowd is singing.
Why do I think this is Matt? Cos +44 was Travis and Mark, and +44 were excellent.
@@IllBeDARNd I miss the vareity in a blink album. Some Mark songs, some tom songs and some where they both sing. In the new albums its just, mark sings, Matt sings chorus, Matt sings second verse, chorus, they both song the bridge. SMH
My thoughts about what they're sayin' about the upcoming album, its different but i guess it will be similar to what BMTH did, it will be a lot of variety, travis said in an interview, that he made a blast beat(normaly used in metal bands) and we will have the chainsmokers probabily will bring some eletronic things and popish, and pharrell williams(IDK what i should expect) but pharrell probabily will bring something POP, but in general i think it will be a pop album.
I came here from a Pitchfork article saying Blink-182 had ditched guitars, but this is clearly guitar driven, just with strong effects. The new sound isn't bad at all but it's not a strong song compared to the old stuff

This why I love blink, always growing and never looking back and never repeating themselves to much. People will always hate cause they want the same shit all the time but trust me when you get older shit changes and you wanna push yourself to experimentation.
Way too many people are too quick judge. I guess this is a very good album.
Okay - can we just appreciate that Blink 182 is even still around? Most bands from the early 2000’s just stopped - even if you don’t like their new sound it’s just because bands evolve - the same thing over and over gets old. It really just be that way 🙌🏼
Growing up just like us
I'm fine with bands changing and evolving, but that's not really what happened here. I defended them when it came to Neighborhoods and Dogs Eating Dogs, because that was an actual natural progression of their music. California was okay too, even if Matt was still just getting his bearings.
For NINE though, Blink barely even wrote the songs for this album. It would've been nice to see more songs actually written by Blink themselves, rather than mainstream pop songwriters like Sam Hollander or Ali Tamposi. Only On Some Emo Shit is completely written by Blink.
I mean Rush was around from 1974 to 2018 and twice as prolific and there sound did change (these guys are no different than they were in 93) but ok

I need to say this. I hated this song when it just came out because it was not what I was expecting from blink-182, but now I really appreciate the risk they took by adding new styles to their music and now I love the song
I don’t care what people said. I LOVE THIS SONG! Keep going blink-182! This is an art!
Now everybody can be absolutely sure that Tom Delonge was the mastermind in Blink-182. Without him you’re completely lost. Please, Mark and Travis, stop destroying a band that so many people (used to) love!
Amen
Yes, the guy that held creative genius power on the self titled and the absolute piece of garbage Neighborhoods album.
Yes - this song isn't that good and I don't like the direction either. Tom wrote tons of garbage like this too though.
PS - for all the Tom lovers, why are you here exactly? AVA came out with something new a week ago. No matter what this band puts out you'll hate it because Tom isn't part of it. Get lost.
Andrew Neighborhoods is a piece of garbage if you’re 12 years old.
@_Saiko Right?! I fucking love Neighborhoods almost as much as Untitled.

Unpopular opinion here.
I love that song, it's not the "old" blink 182, but it's different than their other songs.
It's not that edgy emo/punk style that much anymore and I love it.
Many people hate the lack of guitars in this song but in my opinion it lets everything pop out and shine through.
Keep experimenting Blink I'll be your biggest fan no matter what.

@IHasNoLife Productions untrue. dont know what this new blink stuff is but when skiba's with alkaline trio its a different story
@@Arcadia6227 Not really guitar related, but I feel like the way they tune their voices in production makes Skiba not sound like himself. I'm very glad A3 released a new album last year. I need more of that.
I know, I actually might like this song if it weren’t for the trap beats, there is nothing more potent to ruin a song.
Thatdamasian I have to agree, for the chorus.
Haters are gonna hate, so let 'em. I love it. The melody takes me back, and for a moment I can actually forget all the bullshit, and focus on a time when I still felt good, and had a positive outlook on life. Everyday now is just a struggle to stay motivated enough to not step off of the curb in front of a bus.
What you call haters are actually blink 182 fans
This song is shit, and you're also the hater
Been a fan since "Dude Ranch". See, sometimes visions and directions change. The sound might be different, but the message is the same. Keep crying for the old ways, the world is going to evolve around you. This is Blink. It's not 20 years ago.
Cnt wait for the album guys always a fan love the new stuff thank you for the great memory rides of my youth n now this cheers
Is this really Blink 182 ??
Depends on your definition of "Blink 182"
That moment you realize the new blink182 song is so watered down that it makes the new angels and airwaves song look hardcore.
Just wait until that 2nd AVA is the most guitar driven hah
realityorfiction they were probably trying to let low standards for the new album so they don’t hate from every song
Am i the only one who likes the song and is glad that blink-182 does still exist?
Gracie Thornton My words!
I genuinely think that this song is a good one, after hearing it for a few times it echoes in my head over and over again. And I really like matt's part. I know many of older blink 182 fans wont like this song, I feel that, been following them since my mid school years. But all I could say is that I'm just a really big fan of the band, I'll always listen and follow whatever they'd create or do and I know I'll like them whatever it is.
I shall pass judgement till the album
Needless to say I hope they’ve got more to offer :(
Oh man...I miss the old school Blink.....Josie, carousel, apple shampoo, whats my age again etc✌✌✌
Me too...me too.
etc.*
bring back the Tom Delonge era
@@whatispunkrock672 hell yessss
Oh man did they delete those songs?
Anyone else come back after listening to NINE, to give the song a 2nd chance, and regret bashing it? Honestly, this song isn't bad at all. Loved NINE.
GabiTheNabi :3 me 🤚
YES. I feel bad now because this is one of my favorite songs...
you have shit taste
@@billybermuda indeed, i wont deny it, nine isnt really their strongest album, its easily their worst but a lot of the songs touched me with what i was going through when the album dropped
fuck the haters, keep doing your own thing
The new AvA sounds more like a blink than blink themselves.
Tom Delonge still got it ey
Because Tom IS Blink lol
cause tom is blink
Not really.
That song sounds like bad AvA. Nothing like blink. Absolute garbage.
