In 2000 Blink 182 had their song "All The Small Things." Around that time the Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC were also very popular. Blink took advantage of this in their video. They did a great job of making fun of those boy bands and some pop princesses. The plane was from Backstreet boys I Want It That Way. That's the most noticeable parody. There's also *NSYNC, Christina Aguilera, J-Lo, Britney, and Ricky Martin references made. And somehow Blink knew to make fun of a boy band who's members were 8 or 9 at the time. One Direction. Twelve years after "All The Small Things" One Direction had their hit "What Makes You Beautiful." Their music video just so happens to be on the same beach that Blink was on in 2000, making fun of boy bands. It's probably just a coincidence but I think it also reinforces that Blink 182 knows how to have a good time at other's expense.
