Blink-182 (stylized as blink-182) is an American rock band from Poway, California. Bassist and vocalist Mark Hoppus, guitarist and co-lead vocalist Tom DeLonge, and drummer Travis Barker make up their current lineup. Though their sound has evolved over time, their musical approach, dubbed pop punk, fuses appealing pop tunes with fast-paced punk rock. Relationships, teenage angst, and maturity or lack thereof are central to their lyrics. The band arose from a suburban Southern California skate-punk culture and became known for their high-energy live presentations and caustic humor.
