Blink 182 has always been considered the fun-loving, silly, pop rock boys in the mainstream charts, but with the release of their self-titled album, a new side of Blink 182 was revealed. The song I Miss You expresses most of this dark feeling that are consistent for the entire album. Even the music videos from this album were no longer bright and full of slapstick comedy, but raw, intense, and dismal. The video is very dark and gloomy which is a code for the sign of evil and unhappiness. We can see a white car which keeps appearing and walking across the camera, this is code for purity and heaven. This may be trying to say they are in a gloomy and tough patch but will pull through back to goodness. A lot of effects such as smoke and lighting are used to emphasis the gloomy and dark state of the video. The whole video is very old fashioned and filmed in some sort of castle or manor that we see in the beginning. Finally throughout the video we see the band walking through a dark forest which once again shows the the theme and connotes evil and danger.
