Look no further, something millennials who are busting out eyeliner and Atticus flat brims for the first time since their prom: this is the only Blink timeline you'll ever need. After the two irreverent punk rockers agreed to start writing and recording music together, they decided to look for a drummer. Fortunately, DeLonge knew a kid named Scott Raynor from his high school, who agreed to man the kit.

With the original lineup secured, they named themselves Blink and released their first two projects — the EP "Flyswatter," recorded sloppily on Scott's boom box, and the smoother-sounding cassette "Buddha" — that same year. It was a pitiful number compared to the blockbuster success of "Enema of the State" several years later, but more than enough to encourage the guys to keep at it.

Two years later, they'd put out their full-length debut album "Cheshire Cat" on Grilled Cheese Records. It was a bit too rough around the edges to capitalize on that year's mainstream punk rock resurgence, spearheaded by Green Day's "Dookie," but it was an important step in the right direction for the group and earned them more eyes and ears.

It was also just big enough to get them noticed by another group called Blink, who threatened legal action over the name. Not wanting to get dragged into a courtroom slugfest over a name they'd picked for no reason, they slapped an equally meaningless "" onto theirs and carried on. InBlink released their sophomore effort: "Dude Ranch. Hoppus said, " If you work on a song for weeks and weeks, you're forcing it.

Tom DeLonge shares Hoppus' enthusiasm for the tune, which is about feeling left behind as you watch your pals and ex-lovers move on. It's so timeless and represents our band because it's about growing up, it's perfect.

The song peaked at 11 on the Billboard Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart and became the band's first song to receive widespread national radio airplay. Tom said: "[When 'Dammit' took off], we were freaking. We couldn't believe what was happening to us. So this time, we said to ourselves, "OK, let's not freak. Let's really try to put out a better album.

Let's try to stay up here. There are many conflicting reports and few confirmed details about exactly why original drummer Scott Raynor was fired from the group, but Joe Shooman's book "Blink The Bands, the Breakdown, and the Return" says it likely had to do with his drinking problem. Although it's never been officially confirmed, Songfacts says the song "Man Overboard" has long been rumored to both be about Scott and to confirm this version of events.

According to Raynor himself, who sat down with Jason Tate of Chorus"They [Hoppus and DeLonge] wanted different things than me and at the same time our friendship was put to the test In any case, this all happened inwhile Blink was touring in support of "Dude Ranch.
