Blink-182 Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Alkaline Trio Collaborations — The claim that 'On August 9, 2024, Alkaline Trio released a stand-alone single produced by Travis Barker titled 'Versions of You'' is incorrect. No such single was released on that date; the band's single 'Versions of You' was released on January 16, 2024, as

The Hiatus & Reunion — The reunion album 'Neighborhoods' was released after a five-year absence from recording new material together, not six. The band's previous album was released in 2003, and 'Neighborhoods' came out in 2011.

Dude Ranch Era — The claim that 'Dude Ranch' is the band's second studio album is incorrect; it is actually their third studio album, following 'Cheshire Cat' (1995) and 'Buddha' (1994, though sometimes considered a demo, it is officially their debut studio album).

Dude Ranch Era — The statement that the 'Dammit' music video was the 'sole music video' for the album is incorrect; there was also an official music video for 'Josie' (released in some regions and on the 'Dude Ranch' enhanced CD).

Cheshire Cat — The claim that 'only Mark Hoppus could legally sign' because Scott Raynor was a minor is incorrect; both Tom DeLonge and Scott Raynor were minors, so Mark Hoppus was the only legal adult.

Cheshire Cat — The claim that 'Scott Raynor briefly moved to Reno, Nevada, after recording but was persuaded by Hoppus and DeLonge to return and live with them while finishing high school via homeschooling' is not part of widely known canon; Scott's move to Reno occurred lat

Blink-182 — The album is not the fifth studio album; it is the sixth studio album if including Buddha, which is often listed as a studio album in the band's official discography.

California — The 'DID YOU KNOW' section states 'The original trio of Tom, Mark, and Travis would not reunite until the 2023 album 'O' — this is incomplete and misleading; the album is titled 'One More Time...', not just 'O'.

The Neighborhoods World Tour — The 'DID YOU KNOW' section incorrectly implies the 2014 Carnivores Tour was part of this tour cycle; the Neighborhoods World Tour ran from 2011 to 2012, and the 2014 dates were a separate co-headlining tour with Linkin Park, not part of the Neighborhoods World
