History of Blink 182 Day
Blink 182 Day is a day dedicated to celebrating the existence of the band, its members, their music, and widespread popularity. The band has had quite a few name changes, initially being christened as Duck Tape, and later adopting the name Blink. However, they had to add 182 as another artist was using the name Blink. Though no one really knows why that specific number was chosen, albeit some theories say it’s because of how many times Al Pacino says a certain curse word in the movie Scarface.

The band’s first release was the EP Fly Swatter followed by the full-length Buddha and Cheshire Cat which were released in the early 1990s. Blink 182 tasted success following in the footsteps of the renowned band Green Day and the popularity of pop punk in the late nineties. Their album “Enema of the State,” appeared exclusively on MCA and was released in 1999 to huge success
Then around a decade ago, the band’s bassist and vocalist Mark Hoppus put out a tweet declaring a Blink 182 day and it has been recognized ever since. Now music lovers across the world, especially fans of pop-punk and rock music, make use of this day to appreciate one of their beloved bands for producing everlasting music.
