Is All The Small Things - blink-182 halal according to Sistani?
Haram (1/5). Under Ayatollah Sistani's framework, the primary test is whether the tune type is suitable for entertainment and amusement gatherings. 'All the Small Things' is a highly energetic, upbeat pop-punk song with a catchy, driving rhythm and 'na-na-na' hooks. An expert in these matters would easily distinguish this tune type as one that is suitable for and commonly used in entertainment and amusement gatherings (such as parties, concerts, and clubs). The clean nature of the lyrics cannot save the song, as the tune type itself is forbidden, and personal psychological effects (whether it arouses lust or simply relaxes) are completely irrelevant to the ruling.
Is All The Small Things - blink-182 halal according to Khamenei?
Caution (3/5). Under Ayatollah Khamenei's framework, the music must be evaluated to determine if it is 'lahwi' (deviating from the path of Allah and causing carelessness) and 'mutrib' (exciting/rapture-inducing) in a way suitable for gatherings of sin. While the song is highly energetic and exciting, its lyrics are clean and do not promote sin, sexual excitement, or religious indifference. Because it lacks explicit haram content but possesses a highly energetic, commercial rock character, it falls into the 'grey area' of music.
