That’s not what kids in Poway grow up learning. To a generation of Powegians, DeLonge, who attended Poway High, served as an odd sort of aspirational hometown hero: a cultural figure who made it out of our rural, conservative San Diego exurb and left a mark, however dumb, on the rest of the country. Two friends road-tripped to Santa Barbara during our senior year for the world premiere of Love, the forgettable 2011 sci-fi film produced and scored by DeLonge’s post-Blink band Angels and Airwaves, and I really couldn’t blame them. My chemistry teacher Mr. Manly proudly shared stories of DeLonge’s classroom pranks.

It sums up Blink-182’s wiseass brat-punk ethos almost as well as their recent live album, The Mark, Tom and Travis Show (The Enema Strikes Back), which featured the butt-stupidest stage banter since Kiss’ Alive! (Mark: “You can leave now and beat the traffic!” Tom: “Or you can stay and beat your meat!” — and they get paid for this, ladies and gentlemen.) But this is rock & roll, where cartoons can get away with exposing emotional truths blocked to more portentous characters, and behind their doofy grins Blink-182 have plenty to say about the secret life of boys. Too funny for even the most uptight ideologue to dismiss as simps, these guys feel free to sing about their girl troubles without hiding behind either hipster irony or macho hostility. When they meet girls tougher than they are, which is usually,
