green day \m/

Honestly all Green Day is the same in my eyes. Older Green Day fans look down on American Idiot cause it's popular right now but Dookie was the same way.. it's all the same shit people are just scared to like anything popular.

Green Day is pop-punk, has been since Dookie and always will be. Doesn't make them bad music, but it's time to quit looking down on their new shit and saying it sucks cause it's pop, Dookie was pop too.

i totally agree...(i wouldnt say its pop though...)

many ppl seem to look down on american idiot but they have no sufficient reasons to do it....its just popular and successful...ppl dont think it has a reason???

okay im sure 'real' punks feel bad when they see their fave bands in teen magazines or whatever, but who cares??? if their music is still good...i dont care who like them and who dont. american idiot IS a great album, just listen to 'give me novocaine' or 'homecoming' or any other songs if you dont believe me. actually i dont care who believe me and who dont... i love it and thats is 🙂

(oh and this is not about ppl who did listen to AI several times and after it they still say that its crap...this is another thing...these ppl, i just cant understand 😄)

Around of appluase for Elanor and Afro cheese! Thankyou so much for being able to say it straight, ive always wanted to be able to say that but i say it wrong and people take it the wrong way. I agree that American idiot is a mint album, although i wouldnt call it pop either.

✅ i couldnt say it any better....

Well I call a lot of things pop that most people don't consider pop.. I just mean that it's mainstream music.

and? what then? okay it is mainstream coz its popular, you say. but it IS still good so i dont really care about this mainstream thing.

not the MUSIC is what matters? i mean, when you say its mainstream you think about ppl who like it, that tons of ppl listen to it, and then you dont wanna listen to it coz its so popular and you wanna differ from the mass.....well if this is the case you dont really differ from ppl who DO listen to it coz its popular. you just DONT listen to it coz its popular. i dont see a big difference.

Libertine, moonwalker741: thanks 😉

I didn't say that them being mainstream was a bad thing, just explaining why I labeled them as pop.

My original point was that I think the majority of the people who hate American Idiot feel that way because of the excessive attention it's getting from the mainstream.

✅

i agree

Holiday - v gd 🤘

I know i could just listen to Holiday all day. I loved it when they played it live the other week, and Billy went 'this songs about George Bush' and we all cheered cos we knew it was going to be holiday, and then he said 'wait a minute are you all cheering for George Bush?' so we all booed, so Billy laughed and said 'Thats more like it'

😆

i think i heard that thing 😄 of course not live (unfortunately *sob*)

but one of my friends is today gonna buy my ticket for novarock festival where we are going to see Green Day 😱

usually when he plays it live he yells "this is a big **** you to George W. Bush!" and everybody screams and crap, and then he says "this is not anti-american, this is anti-war!"....

live performance is awesome

Yeah, about that.... I am a Bush supporter (over Kerry at least) but that doesn't mean I won't like Green Day or that song. It is so freakin catchy.

Exactly! Although im not a George bush supporter, but being English, i dont think my vote counted.

pop = popular...if you put it in my country...then everything thats popular = pop here

Thats what it used to mean, but now when people brand people pop, it gives them a death certificate. Its more appropriate to call them popular culture, or just popular music.

Wrong. I'm sure I speak for many people when I say I look down on the new Green Day fans who only like/know them because American Idiot went big.

Personally I don't like American Idiot because I haven't liked any of Green Day's stuff since after Insomniac, this one because it's trying to be too clever. Plus it's boring. My taste has nothing to do with the popularity. Example: Chemical Brothers' latest album went huge, and the single was being hummed by the nation's teeny bopping population for months, and I still bought and loved it.

Chemical Brothers' are no GD though. Hell, I don't know who they even are. What songs do they sing?

They don't sing 🥷
