Tom DeLonge

Have you ever jumped, shouted the chorus, and felt like the music was built for you? That’s the world Tom DeLonge helped make. Tom DeLonge (born 1975) is an American musician who co-founded the pop‑punk band Blink‑182 in the early 1990s. Today we’ll focus on how his songs shaped a generation.

Blink‑182's fast, catchy songs and funny music videos blew up around 1999–2001. Albums like Enema of the State and Take Off Your Pants and Jacket sold millions worldwide. Songs such as “All the Small Things” and “What’s My Age Again?” became sing‑along anthems on radio, TV, and skateparks — turning pop‑punk into a teen staple.

After that success, Tom started a new project called Angels & Airwaves in 2005 to explore bigger, more atmospheric music and films. He also grew curious about unexplained flying objects and helped form a group that works with scientists and former officials to learn more. That showed fans he follows both music and mystery.

Tom DeLonge's biggest impact is simple: his songs made kids feel okay being loud, silly, and brave. He helped create a sound that made people jump, laugh, and sing together. Whether it’s a catchy chorus or a strange question about the sky, Tom’s story tells you to make noise and never stop asking “why.”
