I'm hoping that Green Day's new album will be better than Revolution Radio. I liked "Bang Bang" and the album's title track, but I wasn't particularly fussed about the others. Honestly, I think Green Day have been in a creative slump ever since the release of American Idiot, so I would like to think that this new album will be somewhat of a return to form.
As for Blink-182, I haven't really read what their plans are for their new material, but I don't think the album will be pop-punk. They released "Blame it on my Youth" and it was more of pop-rock song.

They released "Blame it on my Youth" and it was more of pop-rock song. Blink-182 has always been that kind of band that fuses rock with pop music; the same could go for Green Day. Take their last album California for example. I really didn't get into Blink-182 until I was 14. As a kid, I really didn't like punk music like with artists like the Sex Pistols or Misfits. I always got confused what the concept of punk music was. I was always into classic rock, nu metal or hip hop music when I was a kid. Those were the kind of genres I used to skate to. I don't really feel Green Day as a punk band nowadays even though they are still considered a punk band. Their earlier works like Dookie or Insomniac were definitely more of a punk vibe then they are now. Now I just think that Green Day are going for more of an alternative or hard rock path.

To a point, but up until very recently, Blink-182 had always stayed true to the aesthetics associated with punk. "Blame It on my Youth" is stylistically quite different to California and their earlier material, as it's very much a formulaic pop composition with all the defining qualities of a pop-produced song. 5 Seconds of Summer could have released it. Green Day has generally remained more loyal to their roots, even if they have strayed from the pop-punk genre from time to time.

I decided to give Green Day's new song another listen a few minutes ago. Honestly, it's not as bad as I remember it sounding when I first listened to it and I would even go as far as saying that the song is not bad, however "Father of All" still pales in comparison to their earlier work. I think if you go in with the mindset that it 'isn't' a Green Day song, you might appreciate it a bit more.

Obviously age plays a part in changing music tastes as well. IMO that is like 90% of the problem: Their music started to suck. This is gonna get even more subjective, but I tend to think it’s because they tried to follow trends. I can at least standby that when it comes to Blink 182. Singing about your youth two decades later? Come on. Either stick to your old schtick and hope the weird kids like it, or be relatable for your old fans. Age, I dunno. Rock may be kind of a niche interest for those under 20-25 (or whatever we decided the cut off was idc in this context), but there is still totally a fandom if you go looking for it. Just this week Motley Crue tore up their no-more-touring contract and will be doing shows in 2020 as well. They claim it’s because their Netflix biopic “The Dirt” created a whole new generation of fans. Sure this might be a ploy to make money, but they wouldn’t be doing it if they didn’t think anyone would come. Never mind I know many over 40 who are huge concert goers. They have the money to spend on it, after all.

Green Day is still kind of okay, they can be hit or miss. FOB is utter trash now. I never followed Weezer, I heard one of his new songs recently (2017?) and I didn't think it was that bad.
