''Enema of the State'' has been called an accurate representation of middle-class teenage life, especially at the time of its release. ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'' called it the "perfect encapsulation of the American adolescent male mind-set circa 1999."<ref name="ewnude"/> Nitsuh Abebe of ''New York'' describes the immense popularity of the record with adolescents in an article measuring its influence: "After you figure in singles, videos, [[CD-R]] burns, copies on repeat in friends' cars and finished basements, this was apparently enough to create blanket immersion among America's twenty-some million teenagers."<ref name="newyork">{{cite magazine |title=Sentimental Education |first=Nitsuh |last=Abebe |magazine=[[New York (magazine)|New York]] |date=September 22, 2011 |url=https://nymag.com/arts/popmusic/reviews/blink-182-abebe-2011-10/ |access-date=September 5, 2012}}</ref> ''[[Alternative Press (music magazine)|Alternative Press]]'' has ranked ''Enema of the State'' among Jerry Finn's top production work,<ref name=altpress12>{{cite magazine |last=Heisel |first=Scott |date=February 2013 |title=10 Essential Jerry Finn Albums |magazine=[[Alternative Press (music magazine)|Alternative Press]] |issue=295 |page=96 |location=[[Cleveland, Ohio]] |issn=1065-1667}}</ref> and UK-based music magazine ''[[Rock Sound]]'' rated it number 2 on their list of "101 Modern Classics" in 2012, writing, "''Enema'' didn't just bring pop-punk to the masses, it marked a complete shift in how music television, radio and the world at large viewed it."<ref name="RSclassics"/> In 2014, Ian Cohen of ''Pitchfork'' noted the album's extensive influence: "In a literal sense, many indie bands evolved not from [[Velvet Underground]] or [[Sonic Youth]], but ''[[Smash (The Offspring album)|Smash]]'', ''Dookie'', or ''Enema of the State''—records that served as beginner's manuals and inspired musicians in great numbers to buy their first guitar."<ref name="p4k1">{{cite news |url=https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/19196-fireworks-oh-common-life/ |title=Fireworks: ''Oh, Common Life'' |first=Ian |last=Cohen |date=April 8, 2014 |publisher=[[Pitchfork Media]] |access-date=April 8, 2014 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140408222259/http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/19196-fireworks-oh-common-life/ |archive-date=April 8, 2014}}</ref> Likewise, Scott Russo, frontman of San Diego rock band [[Unwritten Law]], remarked that following the album's release, he would receive CDs from fans that mimicked the glossy sound the album made famous. "It was revolutionary, it was equally as revolutionary as Green Day when it hit, they just didn't get the credit," Russo remarked in 2009.<ref name="onenineninefour"/>

In 2014, ''Alternative Press'' ran a special in celebration of the album's fifteenth anniversary, which contains reflections from members of bands influenced by the album, including [[The Maine (band)|The Maine]], [[The Story So Far (band)|The Story So Far]], [[Mayday Parade]], and [[Yellowcard]], among others.<ref name=altpress15>{{cite magazine |last=McGuire |first=Colin |date=May 28, 2014 |title=15 Years Of ''Enema Of The State''—Mayday Parade, the Story So Far, more reflect on Blink-182's album |magazine=[[Alternative Press (music magazine)|Alternative Press]] |location=[[Cleveland, Ohio]] |issn=1065-1667 |url=http://www.altpress.com/features/entry/15_years_of_enema_of_the_state_blink_182_mayday_parade_tssf_yellowcard |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140529084438/http://www.altpress.com/features/entry/15_years_of_enema_of_the_state_blink_182_mayday_parade_tssf_yellowcard |archive-date=May 29, 2014}}</ref> "When I heard how massive and epic ''Enema'' was for the first time, my mind was blown. It definitely made me want to be a better songwriter and make bigger-sounding records," said [[Ryan Key]] of Yellowcard.<ref name="altpress15"/> In the article, the magazine credits the album with "single-handedly changed the face of mainstream rock."<ref name="altpress15"/> Property of Zack also gave the album a fifteenth anniversary feature, commenting, "''Enema of the State'' has become the single most important album in our overarching community since its release in 1999. It is more important, to this current generation and the one preceding it, than ''Dookie'', or ''Smash'', or whatever you want to put on that pedestal — and it will likely never give up that spot at the top of the standings."<ref name="poz">{{cite news |url=http://propertyofzack.com/post/87035694060/poz-decade-blink-182-enema-of-the-state |title=POZ Decade: blink-182 - Enema Of The State |first=Zack |last=Zarillo |date=May 27, 2014 |publisher=Property of Zack |access-date=May 28, 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140601074008/http://propertyofzack.com/post/87035694060/poz-decade-blink-182-enema-of-the-state |archive-date=June 1, 2014}}</ref>
