Blink-182 released Dumpweed in 1999, at the beginning of their album Enema of the State. It is a song that starts with a fast tempo and a guitar that moves as if it were searching for something. Tom DeLonge wrote and sang it, although the credit also goes to Mark Hoppus. The idea came from some riffs he had saved, which he found simple but interesting.

The song talks about frustration in a relationship, especially with girls. The metaphor of dog training stands out, although some criticize it for being too crude. Live, the version was released as a single in 2000, and was used to promote another album. The energy is intense, with a drum that moves as if it were in a pogo. Many have played it live, and even artists like Four Year Strong have covered it.
