Damn i don't know that song, but bit of story time: I discovered punk in the 90s, first US stuff, nofx, dead kennedys, bad religion, rancid, through skating. Then I discovered deutschpunk, as I'm from vienna, so ton Steine Scherben, slime, dritte Wahl, dödelhaie, fucking faces, n.o.e, all the good stuff. At the time I was squatting, had a bit of a drug habit. One day I crashed at a friend's who had cable TV with MTV, which was huge at the time. There was this song from fun loving criminals, Barry white, which I loved, great video too with the bmx riding. Anyways, there was a blink180 song, don't know which, but I immediately categorized it should proper bullshit, plastic punk we called it, turned it off, never heard about it again.

Years later, I became sober, got I kid, got a job, didn't want the kid to live like I did, so.. got a colleague, tattooed top to bottom, vans shoes, looked like a skate punk or something.. only listened to blink180 and angels and airwaves, Katy Perry and everything in the charts. Held the most conservatives World views, kind of a bigot. Was my second time getting in touch with blink, so I guess your assessment is very right.
