What Makes This Song Great? "What's My Age Again?" Blink-182

Anytime I hear Blink 182 it makes me feel like it’s summer time I’m young and everything is going to be ok

Tom Delonge’s guitar tones on the early blink albums are the gold standard for this type of music

I went to High School with Mark. I'm never not shocked at how big blink got. such a great guy

Ricks' really right on this one. It's a sad song. It's about realising that you're losing someone you love because you aren't growing up like everyone around you. Realising that it's costing you something, but not quite ready to accept that you need to change.

As a drummer, I always appreciate when Rick turns into a little kid playing air drums during the isolated fills. Makes me smile.

The sadness in the music and lyrics take this song beyond “slacker anthems” and into genuine existential despair, that’s why it is still relevant and amazing to hear decades later.

I love Rick's appreciation of pop-punk.

I've heard this song an insane amount of times in the last 10 years and I never heard Mark's little "Please stay with me" during the final chorus. Jesus Christ this record is so well done

"Everything about the album is fantastic" I am so excited and a bit emotional that Rick Beato appreciates Enema of the State and Blink-182 in general!

Rick's "whoo" alone is worth the price of admission.

This album is quite literally why I became a drummer. I was 9 when it dropped and it changed my life

Almost everything Rick does makes me feel inferior, but his air drumming skills make me feel pretty good about my own air drumming.

You have to do "Feeling This" by Blink as well. Whats going on in the bass, and harmonies at the end is just magical. The biggest sounding album they have. According to Mark it's the best song they've ever done.

The “please stay with me” Mark sings in the last chorus is so perfect

I love that a hardcore musician like Rick can appreciate a deceivingly simple band like Blink. You're a ray of sunshine Rick

Mark singing "please stay with me" in the background in the last part of the song is a niiice touch

Really got into this record and band when I was a 16. Then I got deep into “virtuoso” type guitar players and bands and fell into the whole “Tom DeLonge sucks” thing, and I relegated Blink to the category of “guilty pleasure.” Fast forward 20 years, and I haven’t listened to the virtuosos in almost as long because their music is so, so boring. But I’m sitting here humming these Blink 182 guitar parts before they even show up in the song. No one cares how “good” you are at your instrument. It’s all about what you make people feel. That’s what makes a song great, and what makes it stand the rest of time. Tom & Mark are absolutely fantastic!

I think Tom is totally underrated as a guitarist. He's pretty good in creating catchy guitar riffs both in blink and AvA.

travis's drum, mark's bass, and tom's guitar in the breakdown part of this song was absolutely brilliant

Jerry Finn was the fourth member of blink. This album and TOYPAJ are masterpieces of mixing and production.
