What's My Age Again? by Blink-182

    The song What's My Age Again reflects many things that were happening in the transition from the 1900s to the 2000s.  With the lyrics describing the rebelling of growing up to the actual music video, Blink-182 takes the listener on a fun, childlike journey that lets them question their age.   The lead singer in What's My Age Again is Mark Hoppus and as the song starts out, a listener who is not familiar with Blink-182, could guess that this man is over eighteen.  The song then illustrates an event that happens to most men in their early twenties, Mark is about to get laid.  Then he says he turns on the TV, and begins watching it.  This is just an example of how Mark Hoppus does not know how to grow up.  Even after his girlfriend gets angry with him, when he is taking her home he stops at a pay phone and attempts to prank call her mother.  Then, throughout the song he continues to ask what exactly is his age again.  I believe that Blink-182 created this song to emphasize to their fans that even though they are growing up, they are still maintaining their childish behaves and are in fact young enough to party with their fans.  In What's My Age Again's music video in features Mark Hoppus, Tom Delonge and Travis Barker running through the streets, of what I believe to be Los Angeles, naked. The band and their nakedness symbolizes them still having the heart of a child but when the run past an attractive woman they cannot help but stop.  What's My Age Again is a fun song as its beat is very energetic, like a child, and also is one of Blink-182 greatest hits.
