blink-182 – What’s My Age Again? (Official Music Video)

Blink-182, who have blazed a trail down the main road of pop-punk, released this song in 1999 as a lead single from the album Enema of the State.

From its ear-catching arpeggiated intro, it plunges straight into a high-velocity, exhilarating chorus—a textbook example of pop-punk done right.

The lyrics self-deprecatingly, yet endearingly, portray a self who can’t quite grow up, expressing the mixed feelings about getting older with plenty of humor.

The track peaked at No.

2 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart and stayed near the top for ten weeks.

Its music video—packed with the band’s prankish antics as they sprint around town—also drew lots of attention.

It’s the perfect song to keep you company in those moments when you hit a birthday and can’t help but chuckle, “Wait, how old am I again?”
