Blink 182 Self-Titled Album
Blink 182 are a pop-punk band, however this particular album was more alternative than their usual songs.
Blink 182 have always been quite lively and funny in the way they act. So their CD covers are usually light hearted, i.e. they don’t have some deep meaning that people can’t see. The CD cover above shows this because the colours are bright, and lively. The logo is also lively, because it shows a smiley face. Overall the CD cover looks like it is meant to represent graffiti art, with the paint blotches. This could be seen as being rebellious because doing graffiti on a wall is anti-social. The parental advisory sticker on the cover is usually placed on any Blink 182 CD because they use bad language in their songs a lot , this adds to the rebellious element of the cover. The generic conventions have been adhered because Blink 182 are a rebellious and lively band, this is shown by certain elements of the mise-en-scene, including the parental advisory sticker and the smiley face logo.
