Fahrenheit-182
A smart, funny, and refreshing memoir from Mark Hoppus, the vocalist, bassist, and founding member of pop-punk band blink-182.
This is a story of what happens when an angst-ridden kid who grew up in the desert experiences his parents’ bitter divorce, moves around the country, switches identities from dork to goth to skate punk, and eventually meets his best friend who just so happens to be his musical soulmate.
Bassist, songwriter, and vocalist for renowned pop-punk trailblazers blink-182, Mark Hoppus, tells his story in Fahrenheit-182. A memoir that paints a vivid picture of what it was like to grow up in the 1980s as a latchkey kid hooked on punk rock, skateboards, and MTV; Mark Hoppus shares how he came of age and forms one of the biggest bands of his generation. Threaded through with the very human story of a constant battle with anxiety and Mark’s public battle and triumph over cancer, Fahrenheit-182 is a delight for fans and also a funny, smart, and relatable memoir for anyone who has wanted to quit but kept going.

I was quite looking forward to this book. Having finished it, it feels quite phoned-in. Most of the stories and what is told is already widely available online and widely known. I was hoping to get more insight into the creative process, perhaps get some comments from Mark on some of the songs and the process behind them besides the main singles. Some parts feel rushed. For example, why talk about Modlife yet ignore talking about how the Untitled album writing process was streamed/casted? The Skiba period feels rushed and there was no mention of its creative process besides trying to justify hiring writers. I feel this book could have been written by someone with access to Wikipedia, Reddit and a couple of Blink fan sites.

I knew most of what was written here from reading internet stories, but hearing it in Mark's words was refreshing. It has a personal touch that feels like a conversation between friends where one friend does all the talking and its most Weener and fart jokes

By Leonardo Linares
After reading Sell Out and loving it, I was excited to see Dan Ozzi was tasked with putting this together. In 1996 at the age of 16 I drove my 1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme from my Hometown of Tustin CA to “The Barn” at UC Riverside to see Blink. Pre Travis, pre 182. This book brought me back to all those times I saw them play.
