This article has been imported from chorus.fm for discussion. All of the forum rules still apply. 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.
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.
Well, you're wrong. It's very important to point that out on a regular basis, as we have allowed it to be normalized.
