In April 1999, Blink-182 released What's My Age Again?. It was the first single from their third album Enema of the State, and its accompanying video featured Mark Hoppus, Tom Delonge and Travis Barker running "naked" through the streets of Los Angeles.
The video – directed by Marcos Siega – was embedded in MTV's scheduling and the sight of the Poway pop-punks' pixelated penises became a defining part of millennium pop culture. It was, as they say, a different time.
Following on from the recent release of the POP! Albums Deluxe: Blink-182's Enema of the State set, you can have your own Funko Pop! dolls featuring Blink-182 peddling their strident anti-clothing agenda.
Standing at approximately four inches tall, the ‘Pixelated Runners’ set is now available as a set via Hot Topic and Bompa, and will make a worthy addition to any fan's collection - and you can buy them now from Walmart.
Relive the band's penchant for public nudity in the video for What's My Age Again? below.
