The title of her new song makes it clear that the corona pandemic is also preoccupying Blink-182. A song between boredom and sarcasm.
The US punk rock band Blink-182, which was founded in 1992 and also celebrated its international breakthrough in the late 1990s, has repeatedly caused controversy over the past few decades. The recently released new song by the Americans, who released their album "Nine" at the end of 2019, should become a stumbling block for many.
Just boredom?
The almost two-minute song "Quarantine" is all about the corona crisis. "I am blessed to be so damn bored," the punk rockers join in with biting mockery. But the text quickly develops differently than one might assume at this point in time.
Instead, Blink-182 use the song to criticize the current situation and the behavior of politicians and citizens in the USA. Among other things, it goes on to say: "In April [the virus] will disappear like a miracle. / We don't need social distancing, we don't need old people. / So let's open the doors of business, save our economy. / We need no beds in intensive care units and no personal protective equipment. "
