Question
what is it about Blink182's music that made them so famous?

Answer
Hi Kevin,
 I think that blink's success came mainly from the simplicity and catchiness of their songs. this propelled them into the mainstream which was largely populated by acts such as madonna and other pop bands, so for someone like Blink to make the charts got them alot of publicity.
  I also think that their songs are very easy to cover, so amateur bands would often play their songs at school or at their own gigs to the point where Blink were usually always represented at any opportunity.
 As soon as any band becomes big enough to go on arena tours and headline festivals, their popularity snowballs and they sell loads more old records and this makes them loads more money and fame, and i think that this worked wonders for Blink's members' careers.
