Travis Barker has credited artists like Olivia Rodrigo, Billie Eilish and Jxdn for changing what it means to be a pop-punk artist.The Blink-182 drummer spoke to Billboard about his love of the genre and his respect for a number of rising stars in the music industry.“I like Olivia’s album, I love everything Billie’s done.
I won’t say, ‘This is pop-punk.’ I’ll say, this music that came out, let’s say like Avril’s ‘Love Sux’, let’s say Jxdn’s ‘Tell Me About Tomorrow’, and ‘Tickets To My Downfall’ [Machine Gun Kelly], were all inspired by pop-punk.“It doesn’t mean that it’s just pop-punk or has to be categorised like that.
Olivia Rodrigo is probably going to make an album that has a little bit of pop-punk influence and some other influences too.
Billie’s going to make whatever magical music she’s going to make and she’s going to be inspired by so much.You don’t have to follow the rules or keep it as sterile as the record label or whatever the rollout plan may be.”He also noted that he would never “outgrow” punk rock music and spoke about helping the next generation of talent via his DTA Records label.“I wanted DTA Records to be the label that doesn’t drop you the minute it doesn’t work, or you throw it against the wall and it doesn’t stick and you’re just on your own.
