Amtrak To Hell

So I was screwing around on the internet and came upon a blog post about how Blink 182 sucks. I felt it would be amusing to check out the comments of all of the angry Blink fans, and sure enough, they did not disappoint, so I decided to put up a  couple of my favorite rants. If you know anything at all about the history of rock and popular music, particularly punk rock, you will probably find these rants as amusing as I did (if blatant ignorance and stupidity amuses you, anyway).  I would link to their blogs, but none of them have anything up. They apparently all signed in to blogspot just to show their love for Blink. No spelling or grammar has been corrected. These are the comments as they appeared, with my personal favorite bits in bold:

From some guy/girl calling themselves “Chris”:

“Your arguments week, Blink 182 never claimed to be punk, nor have they ever referred to themselves as Pop-Punk, In fact they’ve never even labeled themselves. And as a Blink 182 fan the only problem i have with them is they’ve changed too much, its like they were trying to show how much they’ve matured. Music is just a persons opinion, If you don’t like it so what move on to the next band. No need to be fixated on a band you don’t even like right? If your gonna be wasting your time why don’t you focus all your hate on the real problem Country and Rap.”

From some guy calling himself “Nathan”:

“People call me a “music snob” because I don’t like their pop music, but as a matter of fact I do listen to Green Day, Weezer, and Blink-182 a lot. To say so myself, I think that all the bands have talent (with the exception of Green Day) and they all have great senses of humor (not Green Day, again). Besides Weezer, they all claim to be punk, but really aren’t. Punk really isn’t very good, so screw it. I like The Offspring, but that’s all the punk I can handle. Yes, they are monotonous, but they’re music isn’t as bad as current day pop music. Blink-182 would sing
“And that’s about the time she walked away from me,” as the first line of the chorus, and Lady Gaga would sing “T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-Telephone! Telephone!” as her first line and entire chorus. I respect Blink as musicians and I don’t really think they suck.”

And last but certainly not least, from some moron referring to him/herself as “homieo33”:

“I am a huge Blink fan they are the best music group of all time in my opinion and so what if theyre not totally “punk” all that shit like the rope pants and the spikey stuff that is weird. In their youth the blink boys were just screw offs that like to have a good time and thats what theyre music is about and i admit theyre songs are not hard to play but they are catchy and good the bands that you like people probably dont even know of cause they suck that much. if it is on mtv and the radio then usually the songs are good and blink is the best. And i disagree with your statment about how they suck in concert they do not i have seen them in concert they make it fun by telling jokes and playing there music real fast and if your a die hard fan you will appreciate it. Blink actually sings about things that are going on in young peoples lives and the songs sound really good i dont know what the hell you are listening to but blink rocks, and like i said earlier the best thing about it is they are all teenagers at heart and just want to have a good time and say stupid shit which i think is what makes them so good I cant wait for their new album to come out. blink 182 is awesome tom mark and travis are my boys. and you punker guy are a total freek have fun smelling listening to your gay faggot assed music.”
