How many of you all started playing an instrument because of Blink?

I was looking at guitars on my work computer the other day and my buddy looks over my shoulder, he says “how the fuck does the guy from blink-182 have not only one signature guitar, but two?” I told him before that his opinion on music is kind of pretentious. He believes that technical death metal is scientifically the best music because of the precision needed to play at that speed. He says that they are more talented than other musicians. I said, well, I guarantee there are people that started playing guitar because of Tom Delonge (not me). And speed isn’t necessarily the only thing that makes a great musician. David Gilmour is not a fast guitar player but people still learn his solos almost 60 years later. That says something
