Blink-182 was an American pop punk trio formed in 1992, in Poway, California, a northern suburb of San Diego.
The band, then known as "Blink", originally comprised of vocalist and guitarist Tom DeLonge, drummer Scott Raynor and vocalist and bassist Mark Hoppus.
In 1998, midway through a U.S. tour, drummer Travis Barker replaced Raynor.
DeLonge left the group in early 2005, with the band portraying it as an "indefinite hiatus". DeLonge went on to play alternative rock in a band called Angels & Airwaves, while Hoppus and Barker continued in a similar genre with their band +44.
Blink-182 are known for their catchy, simple melodies, teen angst and lyrical toilet humour.
DeLonge cites punk rock bands The Descendents and Screeching Weasel as influences, although the band's songwriting and production were driven by a pop sensibility.
The band was primarily known for popular hits such as "Dammit", "What's My Age Again?", "All the Small Things", "Adam's Song", "The Rock Show", "First Date", "Stay Together for the Kids", "Feeling This" and "I Miss You".
