I think I get it. The song is about a boy and a girl (That maybe Tom DeLonge knew in his high school years) and the boy was invited over to the girl's house, and the girl humiliated him (I read somewhere that her and her friend's pelted the guy with water balloons). And I think Holly must have been a cheerleader (one of those stuck up bitches), hence the cheerleader style drums before the guitar and bass kick in. Just a theory though.
Holly is a girl tom was obsessed with when he was younger but she used him as the "Easy Target" to get to his older brother who are now married. tru story.

the story of the song "easy target" from self-titled album is about their mixer who he had a crush about a a girl named Holly and she told him to go to her house and then, he rode on his bike, then Holly and her friends came out of the bushes pelted him with water balloons. bitch

i love a lot of bands of many different genres, but I think blink 182 is the only band that I can say is the most consistently amazing. i don't think there's one song i dislike by them, even the songs i like the least are still pretty damn good!
i've done a cover of this song recently after teaching myself guitar for 9 months, if anyone would like to watch it and rate, would be appreciated. cheers tom delonge for being a inspirational legend :D
Holly is a term for "Hollywood" and the agenda it has. Media flushed, "lies and hidden dangers" being the paparazzi and the truth-skewing gossip that follows celebrities. So-Cal and the popular bands, people and whatever else coming out from their easily picked up and put on Hollywood agenda's.
@BanditXVIII Actually Holly is a girl who dated Tom and then he found out that she was just using him to get to his older brother. He said so himself..she appears in I think 3- 4 songs too
Im happy to see them get away from their "pop" sound and be a little darker make they will from a new sound and knock shitty rap out of the mainstream
did u no this song is about a girl tom dated in highschool named holly that used him to get to his older brother? do i sound like a douche bag asking ritorical questions? why do i keep doing this?
ummm u kinda have it right... but tom DIDNT date HOLLY... It was tom and marks friend... he told them a story a pass relationship and they felt sad soo they make this song for him..
I heard that All Of This and Easy Target were about the same thing(thats why they both mention some chick named holly)with the same tune and they might of made it like that because all of this comes after easy target on the album. thats why the ending sounds so much like the intro to all of this. hope it helps the people with questions.
Apparently the like button wasn't an Easy Target because 4 people missed it.
