    Mark Hoppus of Blink-182 talks with Vogue about the band’s new album:


    For their new material, the group asked themselves one question: What do we have to say about the world today? “The world is in a really strange place right now,” lead singer Hoppus tells Vogue. “This record is about being a human being in 2019: the joy, fear, and anxiety of it.” He’s not wrong. From a U.S. president who’s more corrupt than ever to technology making us all feel disconnected and sad (“people are growing distant from one another,” Hoppus says), the daily headlines can be, well, a tad overwhelming; on Nine, Blink-182 use music to cope with it all.

    Honestly enjoying this album more than I expected to. It’s miles ahead of California. Happy they wrote about relevant things on NINE instead of some of the subject matter on California.

    Had to slip in that Trump mention or it wouldn't be the internet.

    A large part of being a human being in 2019 -- as is being described in that paragraph -- is dealing with a literal white supremacist as President of the United States.

    A very strange thing for you to take issue with.

    I don't give a shit if he's killed tomorrow, I just think it's lazy writing.

    Well, you're wrong.

    It's very important to point that out on a regular basis, as we have allowed it to be normalized.
