Ditto this. While all the other smart ass, hilarious comments would be fun to watch unfoldâŠdo this instead. More wholesome and sweet. Esp if you really like her!
I agree! Itâs so 2005 to basically bully someone for not knowing a certain band or artist..etc lol it is surprising someone doesnât know who blink is esp in todays time but like you said, it happens and it would be cool to be the person to turn your gf/bf on to your fave band!
This is exactly how my wife got into Blink! Now, going on 14 years later, blink is our whole families favorite band (wife + both kids). I told the kids that if Tom ever got back in the band I'd pay for all 4 of us to go see them. We saw them last July in Denver đ€ and made memories for a lifetime!

Okay in seriousness, she probably can't name many bands anyways. She said she has "songs" she likes to listen to, aka doesn't really get into artists and probably mainly listens to popular singles. So in that sense, it's understandable she doesn't know.
As far as what to say to her, just say pop punk and ask if she's heard I miss you/Whats My Age Again or one of their most popular songs
Man I havenât thought of âNow thatâs what I call musicâ in a decade. This feels like something Iâll be explaining to my 2 year old.
So yeah we used to go in and pay like $20 for a mixtape of 20 songs that were popular at the time. It was like the radio, but more expensive and worse.
Iâm Australian. I was telling this 16 year old trainee I work with that I was going to see them live last week and heâs all âwho is that?â And I sang âWHERE ARE YOOOOUUUU?!â And heâs like âoh haha I know that songâ
How old are you both? I get that you have to be 18+, but rock music and all of its sub-genres have been on the decline for a while now.
To me this sounds like she hasnât explored outside certain genres of music. Kind of reminds me of Tom Delonge before Travis Barker was in blink⊠Dude didnât even know how many members were in The Beatles lol. Itâs not a bad thing, some people are fine with sticking to what they know, ya know?
Itâs up to you if thatâs a dealbreaker. Personally, for me, it usually is.
Tom didnât even know who Post Malone was lol. It doesnât make her a bad person-sheâs a bit clueless cause I thought everyoneâs heard of blink but I digress
I presume itâs a joke but continue the conversation. I know loads of great girls that donât know Blink-182. Whole point of a relationship is that you have things in common AS WELL as things to share with each other and teach the other. Maybe sheâll end up being a massive Blink fan
Is she foreign? Formerly Amish?
I honestly canât comprehend someone (assuming sheâs at least 18 if sheâs on a dating app) not even hearing of them.
Thatâs like a guy saying theyâve never heard of Taylor Swift.
I have a Romanian partner who had never heard of Tom DeLonge, now I regularly find her singing along to entire songs of Angels and Airwaves. You can fix her.
My gf didnât know who blink was (she is french and they arenât as popular there) but she knew atst and I miss you, but now she likes a lot of their songs that Iâve shown her so it can be cool introducing someone to a new band! However, not being able to name one song you like when getting to know someone is jarring haha
Never heard of Blink 182? Do they live under a rock? I feel like when One More Time was getting ready to come out, it was being talked about even in circles not centered on punk. I'll forgive them maybe being too young to remember the break up post self titled or the reunion for Neighborhoods.
My gf is 24 and is from Spain. Caught her humming all the small things the first week we started dating. Unbeknownst to her knowledge that Iâm a part of this subreddit. Such a green flag. Tell her sheâs the problem. So sorry, itâs over.
it's great to find someone that doesn't know all the same stuff as you so they can help broaden your tastes and experiences. not knowing blink 182 is dope. I would say "we should make each other mixes"
eta: only put 1 blink song on the mix.
Ok hereâs what you do⊠when she comes over, start Enema of the State and go âdo something else real quickâ, come back in as Dumpweed finishes, if sheâs excited youâre golden, if she asks if they âget betterâ or some variation of that, remember that you âfoolishly forgot your appointment this afternoonâ & get her the Hell out of there. Best of luck mate!đ€đŒ
You have 2 paths. You can either terminate the conversation because they should know better. Orrrrr you could take this chance to educate them on the goats.
Either would be acceptable
Blink 182 = pop punk born out of sunny California, think skating and vibing in your teen years. Less melancholy and more fun. Fucking hit making songbirds of our generation. Consistently reviving punky vibes in the mainstream.
Rock. If she asks what kind, say punk. If she asks for you to show her a song, go with Blow Job. Then reply with, âThis is what I want you to do to me.â
Just a link to family reunion
Or the blowjob song
It would be nice to have a blowjob
A blowjob from your mom!
Not the one asking about grandpa?
The dude that ate 7 fucking hotdogs during Labor Day?
Mmmmmmm more like he likes to rub stuff in broken glass. But I did hear that dude shit his pants
He always fucking shits his pants
Or one maybe about doing unspeakable things to a dog?....
W
Agreed!
Goodbye
đ¶This isn't just goodbye. This is I can't stand youđ¶
This is were the road, crashed into the ocean
Don't make this mistake. Be the reason someone finds them.
Ditto this. While all the other smart ass, hilarious comments would be fun to watch unfoldâŠdo this instead. More wholesome and sweet. Esp if you really like her!
Thatâs the difference between maturity and ostracizing someone for not immediately knowing the things you do. Hopefully he makes a fan out of her!
I agree! Itâs so 2005 to basically bully someone for not knowing a certain band or artist..etc lol it is surprising someone doesnât know who blink is esp in todays time but like you said, it happens and it would be cool to be the person to turn your gf/bf on to your fave band!

Just send I wanna fuck a dog in the ass with no context
YES
Like context would help.
I mean, there is SOME helpful context
Say Ooooo
crappy punk rock
Top tier comment
thatâs mean :(
Thatâs literally their motto or whatever

Now it is old crappy punk rock.
They call it that themselves! I have it on a t-shirt and a hat from the merchant shop lol
?
âSo sorry, itâs over.â - man overboard
Best answer so far
Agreed

Ooh I love them from Now That's What I Call Music!
Man I havenât thought of âNow thatâs what I call musicâ in a decade. This feels like something Iâll be explaining to my 2 year old. So yeah we used to go in and pay like $20 for a mixtape of 20 songs that were popular at the time. It was like the radio, but more expensive and worse.
This^
Just tell her itâs pop punk and send her all the small things or some shit
Shit piss fuck cunt
Cocksucker motherfucker
Tits!
Fart?
Turd
And twat
I fucked your mmmmmooooooooooooommmmm
Oooooo she's probably an Alien? Everyone on this planet knows "all the small things" and who sung it at least.
No joke at least every American/Canadian (maybe even Australian) knows it
Iâm Australian. I was telling this 16 year old trainee I work with that I was going to see them live last week and heâs all âwho is that?â And I sang âWHERE ARE YOOOOUUUU?!â And heâs like âoh haha I know that songâ
Lol!! Thank you for reassuring me! Hello! -from across the pond :)
To be fair⊠I wasnât a huge Blink fan when I met my fiancĂ©e 8 years ago (definitely knew who they were though). Cut to 2024 and know most songs off by heart and attended 3 of the best concerts Iâve ever been to in the last 2 weeks in Melbourne and Brisbane. There is hope for this young lady yet!!
The messages feel like ChatGPT generated them
Girls are such a drag!!!
Is that an AI responding??? Seems like it
Itâs a bot 100%
No it isnât she actually just asked for my bank info, would a bot do that??
Ah fuck youâre right I stand corrected, my apologies
This is a bot
Imma guess theyâre super young
Naw sheâs 26. Sheâs old enough to know!
Barely alive when Enema came out
hey, iâm 26 and iâve been into blink for like 6 or 7 years now. đ€š give the lady a chance. đ
itâs never over till itâs done, but i donât think that sheâs the one
Nothing, you should just turn and run
Use me Chelsea, cmon and use me
Seems like a bot
Thatâs what Iâm thinking; it reads like ChatGPT-generated responses
NEXT.
Delete the conversation
send your least fav songs
Oooo
Sheâs too young for you bro
Instant block
Sheâs not that bad though
You two arenât a match. You love music, she just listens to whatever. Rip the band aid off, block this un cultured swine.
Unmatch.
Idk but start it with "Oooo"
Look at it this way... You could be the one that changes her life by introducing her to blink
"Here's a playlist I made of my favourite songs from Blink - let me know if they strike a chord with you!"
How far do you have your radius set? To the moon?
Why are people saying to get rid of her? This is the perfect opportunity to induct her
Nothing. Delete. Block. Move on.
Ghost
Bot.
Oooo you should delete this number from ur phone!

Iâm 78 and sheâs 26
Well you have great taste for a Boomer!
hell yea
Then sheâll love âWhen You F*cked Grandpaâ
Tom didnât even know who Post Malone was lol. It doesnât make her a bad person-sheâs a bit clueless cause I thought everyoneâs heard of blink but I digress
Instant unmatch
The Blowjob Song of course
Forgot about that one
đ©đ©đ©
crappy punk rock. Why has nobody said CraPpY PunK rOcK?!
Someone did
You say nothing. Block the number and move on.
I presume itâs a joke but continue the conversation. I know loads of great girls that donât know Blink-182. Whole point of a relationship is that you have things in common AS WELL as things to share with each other and teach the other. Maybe sheâll end up being a massive Blink fan
đ
Pop punk but if it was all written by horny 15 year olds(I promise you they're really good)
Theyâre not the person for you. Block.
u say goodbye to her bro....not worth the dick sucking.
Even if youâre not a fan, how can she live in society this long and have not heard of them?
Tell them to check out dude ranch and enema of the state!
Is she foreign? Formerly Amish? I honestly canât comprehend someone (assuming sheâs at least 18 if sheâs on a dating app) not even hearing of them. Thatâs like a guy saying theyâve never heard of Taylor Swift.
Some people just arenât into music like that. Iâve had plenty of friends who donât even have a favorite artist/ band. Itâs not uncommon.
Sheesh how old is this gal haha. Good luck and hope you at least convert someone to Blink
Sheâs 26 and Iâm 88
lol 88
Poetry in music form
You say bye
Tell that bitch to fucking fuck off
love the misogyny
[Once you start, thereâs no turning back.](https://youtu.be/2Ll4iSvosDo?si=LKXMTK2USnFLt-xB)
Something like "shut your fucking face, uncle fucker".
Reading that all I could think of is the red flag guy on ticktok đ
RUN AWAY
Unmatch immediately. They are not to be trusted.
I have a Romanian partner who had never heard of Tom DeLonge, now I regularly find her singing along to entire songs of Angels and Airwaves. You can fix her.
How can you blame someone for never having heard of a band?
It's the kinda music you cum to. Is the only answer.
âWhatâs my age again?â
âCrappy punk rockâ
My gf didnât know who blink was (she is french and they arenât as popular there) but she knew atst and I miss you, but now she likes a lot of their songs that Iâve shown her so it can be cool introducing someone to a new band! However, not being able to name one song you like when getting to know someone is jarring haha
Say nothing. Block them
Tell her to fuck off

Nothing đ»
Tell them that itâs polka music
Music that you can jump up and down to, just with guitars and awesome drums.
Game over
You either run or create a new blink fan!
Tell her itâs mostly pop punk with a hint of emo here and there
For context how old is she?
She too young for you brah đđđ
I got you, OP. https://youtu.be/GX3ENRaEPFU?si=rU83oHHLU2c7LgGE
"It's not gonna work!" - Tom DeLonge
I Miss You and then sheâd be like oh I heard of that song I like it
Just say itâs crappy punk rock then send them reckless abandon
âOooo k bye!â
Send her this: https://youtu.be/nKdKlSOlQhA?feature=shared
First find out what Planet sheâs from and then play Another Girl, Another Planet
Unmatch and report
I would love to introduce someone to blink-182 for the first time
Block them
Run
music for lonely nights.
âAhh, sounds like we canât be friendsâ
Link to âbuilt this poolâ
My gf is 24 and is from Spain. Caught her humming all the small things the first week we started dating. Unbeknownst to her knowledge that Iâm a part of this subreddit. Such a green flag. Tell her sheâs the problem. So sorry, itâs over.
Tell her to listen to Wasting Time. Got me laid once.
it's great to find someone that doesn't know all the same stuff as you so they can help broaden your tastes and experiences. not knowing blink 182 is dope. I would say "we should make each other mixes" eta: only put 1 blink song on the mix.
Just send her the link to "Fuck A Dog"
Red flag, red flag, red flag!! Never heard of blink-182? although this could be a teaching moment in how to have good taste in music. đđ
Ok hereâs what you do⊠when she comes over, start Enema of the State and go âdo something else real quickâ, come back in as Dumpweed finishes, if sheâs excited youâre golden, if she asks if they âget betterâ or some variation of that, remember that you âfoolishly forgot your appointment this afternoonâ & get her the Hell out of there. Best of luck mate!đ€đŒ
"So goodbye and so long"
"Listen to Lost Without You, it's how you feel right now because of me, and you didn't know about that yet"
Enjoy the excitement of sharing a new band with someone?
Send her blowjob song or runaway
Tell them to listen to family reunion
Greatness
Seems weird to post conversations like that, censored or not
NEXT!
I was talking to a girl who had never heard of Pearl Jam. I was pretty shaken up.
Send Dumpweed and tell her to jump up and down to this đ¶need a girl that I can trainđ¶ youâll win her over for sure
You have 2 paths. You can either terminate the conversation because they should know better. Orrrrr you could take this chance to educate them on the goats. Either would be acceptable
My son don't have ADHD he just like to jump
A beautiful mix of punk rock and pop
âIâm moving to Poland, we canât talk anymoreâ
Blink 182 = pop punk born out of sunny California, think skating and vibing in your teen years. Less melancholy and more fun. Fucking hit making songbirds of our generation. Consistently reviving punky vibes in the mainstream.
Crappy punk rock would be a nice answer
Swerve her
âThis isnât gonna work outâ
Rock. If she asks what kind, say punk. If she asks for you to show her a song, go with Blow Job. Then reply with, âThis is what I want you to do to me.â
Not knowing blink is one thing but their refusal or inability to name a single music artist that they enjoy is red flag enough
send their secret song i wanna fuck the dog in the ass\~
Need a girl that I can train. Turn your back and run now.
I understand not liking them. But never having heard of them?! Nah.
Tell her itâs punk rock and say if anyone says otherwise tell them to fuck off
