Travis Barker IG Posts That Prove He Is a Unique Celebrity

From recording on hit albums to classic cars to an unprintable collaboration with Liquid Death, Travis Barker has it all going – a true musical maverick!

He’s the biggest name in punk music today, yet he’s an A-list celebrity. This is a contradiction in terms, to say the least – simply put, there is no other figure in the pop culture world quite like him. Here are seven Instagram moments that prove he is unique in the world of music and People magazine alike.

Driving a Classic Buick GNX

It’s an old-school muscle car that’s certified classic. Barker flexed it on Instagram with the appropriate caption “You can keep your Ferraris and Lambos.” Iconic!

Taking a Pic in Front of the Misfits House

Where the legendary Straight Edge movement began. We’re willing to bet 90% of Barker’s Instagram followers don’t know the significance of this DC building, but it’s a legendary part of punk history.

Working with Machine Gun Kelly (among others)

Barker’s genre-hopping skills mean that he’s in demand as a producer. His most notable studio work in recent times is likely with rapper-turned-pop-punker Machine Gun Kelly. The pair blend the two styles in MGK’s two recent records, reviving 2000s sounds with modern touches.

Marrying Into the Kardashian Clan

The romance between Barker and Kourtney Kardashian was made official not long ago, with the pair driving away in a vintage Cadillac. It’s hard to believe an ambassador of pop-punk has risen to the level of Kardashian, but it can happen!

Collaborating with Liquid Death on…What?

Enema of the State is a legendary Blink-182 album. Even so, Liquid Death raised some eyebrows when they announced a limited-edition enema kit, as a collaboration with Barker. Unreal.

Touring With the Classic Blink-182 Lineup

Just when you thought the man had forgotten his roots, Blink-182 guitarist Tom DeLonge returned to the band for the first time in years – for a massive tour and upcoming album. Fans rejoiced at seeing the iconic trio back on stage.

Honoring Taylor Hawkins

Jamming with Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl – who is perhaps the ambassador to rock, as Barker is to pop-punk – seemed all too appropriate, and the pair tore it up at a tribute show in honor of late Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins.
