In this high-energy episode of Dem Vinyl Boyz, we rewind to the late ’90s and crank up Blink-182’s Enema of the State—the 1999 album that catapulted pop punk into the mainstream and made suburban angst, crude jokes, and catchy hooks a winning formula. With its mix of fast-paced guitars, bratty humor, and heartfelt teenage confusion, this record became the voice of a generation of misfits, skaters, and mall punks.
Featuring anthems like “What’s My Age Again?,” “All the Small Things,” and “Adam’s Song,” Enema of the State perfectly balances fun and feeling. It introduced the world to drummer Travis Barker, tightened the band’s sound, and turned Blink-182 into MTV darlings. More than just a pop punk milestone, it captured the restless spirit of youth and made it singable, loud, and unforgettable.
In this episode, we dive into the band’s evolution, the album’s cultural impact, and how Enema of the State helped shape the pop-punk explosion of the early 2000s. Whether you’re reliving your high school years or discovering the band for the first time, this album still hits just as hard—and just as hilariously—as it did in ’99.
Join Dem Vinyl Boyz as we laugh, mosh, and reminisce through Blink-182’s Enema of the State—a record that proves growing up is overrated.
