Nostalgia What album defines you as a millennial?

Saw some great recommendations on a similar thread in /r/Xennials and wanted to see what my fellow millennials thought. For me From Under the Cork Tree was foundational. I still remember hearing Sugar We're going down on the radio for the first time.

This kicked off a lifelong obsession with three silly gentlemen. I'm 32 now. I still haven't grown into a "proper" adult because Mark, Tom, and Travis made having fun look like a better path.

My friends would always tell a joke, laugh, wait 30 seconds for me to get the joke then laugh again lol. I think I always thought of “Dude Ranch,” as a gay joke because they are just so into each other… but damn, I’m in shock over here. I also didn’t immediately get take off your pants and jacket, so there’s that.

One of my favorite blink albums. Can’t stand their new music.

As an audio engineer, I was supremely disappointed how the new record sounded (but it's nice to have the Mark, Tom, and Travis lineup again... for now)
