I wasn't comparing Blink and Greenday, I'm was just pointing out that they succumbed to the same fate.
I'm sure Greenday & Blink 182 will still appeal to some, but they had to move away from their original sound in order to remain relevant I believe.
Songs like Time Of Your Life won't have had the same effect if they were being sung by a group of 40 somethings.
I'm not a Blink 182 fan btw, they're cover of Another Girl, Another Planet lead me to dislike them with a passion.
However, I will admit to listen to them whilst growing up, as I did Greenday.
