dude ranch is the best blink-182 album

 i became a fan of blink-182 because of enema of the state, and it was my favorite album by them for months. however, i very heavily avoided dude ranch because i thought it wasn't as good as enema. so after a few months, i started getting into bands like NOFX and The Queers(I LOVE THE QUEERS), and decided to re listen to Dude Ranch, and it quite literally hit my craving for skate punk in all the right places. I feel like it very much does summarize my life in a sort of way, it's very obviously for teenagers like me. It has relatable songs like Waggy and (kind of) Lemmings, and it never really gets dull. I also think the cheshire cat-dude ranch era of blink looks really REALLY cool and fun, i love watching their older shows and moping over the fact I wasn't alive to see them during that time. Dude Ranch like, really does encapture that teenage "i wanna fuck around and skate," it's the album inspiring me to play music, i just fucking love this album, and i think its their best album!!
