Blink 182 is a popular mainstream band that capitalized off their monetization of the post-punk era, back when 'the movement' was engulfed into the pop-o-sphere. Mark Hoppus, the bass player for Blink 182, has one of the zaniest personal brands in the history of popular musicians. Some say that Blink 182 is responsible for the wide acceptance Tom Green humor in the late 1990s.

Recently, Mark Hoppus used the popular social networking site twitter to let his 1.6 million followers know that he was listening to the popular critically acclaimed album Merriweather Post Pavillion by Animal Collective on vinyl. In addition, he voices resentment towards 'hipsters', who probably represent a 'high level Generation Y music fan' who have not been receptive to his band since they grew out of their tween era. It seems like hs is 'having the last laugh all the way to the bank.'

Should Mark Hoppus join AnCo as their lead bass player?

Many high level music critics claim that the lyrics to the Blink 182 song "All the Small Things" inspired the theme of Animal Collective's "My Girls":

Late night, come home
Work sucks, I know
She left me roses by the stairs
Surprises let me know she cares

Say it aint so, I will not go
Turn the lights off, carry me home
Na, na......
