You first heard of them when...

... you heard the songs "What's My Age Again?" and "All the Small Things" off of Enema of the State.

Familiar Lyrics:

We started making out, and she took off my pants
But then I turned on the TV
And that's about the time she walked away from me
Nobody likes you when you're twenty-three
And I'm still more amused by TV shows
What the hell is A.D.D.?
My friends say I should act my age
What's my age again?
What's my age again?

You know them now because...

..."All the Small Things" video won the MTV Best Group Video in 2000 and has over 20 million hits on YouTube.com.
...they recently reformed after roughly five years apart.
...of the plane crash that killed four people and seriously injured drummer Barker and DJ AM, who recently died of a drug overdose.
... of Barker's and former Miss USA Shanna Moakler's reality series, Meet the Barkers, and their ensuing domestic roller coaster.

Recipe to make Blink 182:

1/4 cup Weezer
1/3 cup Gaslight Anthem
1/2 cup Green Day
1/2 cup The Cramps
1 tbsp. Tattoo ink
1 tbsp. Obnoxious class clown
2 tsp. High School Musical
2 tsp. Tony Hawk

Mix ingredients in a blender on high then let cool for a few years in freezer. When popular demand and creative yearning becomes overwhelming, take out and let stand in studio at room temperature. Cut into large pieces of unabashed pop/punk/rock live performances and serve to the masses.
