Earlier this week (August 6), Blink-182 frontman and guitarist Tom DeLonge made light of a harsh review of the band’s recent show at Lollapalooza, which called the band “cringe-worthy”.
The review of the set from over the weekend was shared by local outlet The Daily Illini, which shared a negative take on their headline slot at the Chicago music festival.
In the piece, the journalist began by calling the set “cringe-worthy and repulsive”, as well as “unworthy” of wrapping up the festival. They also took issue with the crude sense of humour the musicians integrate into their performances.
DeLonge, however, seemed to take the comments in his stride, going on to share a snippet of the review online to make light of the criticism. Sharing a screenshot of the title, which read: “Blink-182’s performance distastefully closes Lollapalooza”, he quoted another snippet of the review in his caption, before adding his own take.
“Why are two men who have wives and kids making jokes about sleeping with each other’s mothers?… oh my god, I’m dying hahaha fuck, I love this band.” Fans were quick to side with the musician too, with many calling out the reviewer for not having a sense of humour when it comes to the members’ whole schtick as a band.
“Tell you’ve never listened to blink without telling me you’ve never listened to blink,” one wrote, while Hoppus’ wife Skye Hoppus commented: “Dying. Love This so much.”
