I know nothing about punk but I know that Green Day is not punk.

Punk is counter culture, Green Day is about as counter cultural as McDonalds.

So... you don't think punk has a specific sound?

Maybe I'm being a dick just to have a more fun discussion, but I guess I could defend it by saying that punk was born out of a more ideological motivation, while Green Day seems pretty much like a parallel to Blink-182 and Weezer or something. There's nothing dangerous and "real" about them. Especially not since they released American Idiot.
Maybe they really are punk, but then they're punk without the punk ethos.

Ok. I can agree with that.

Weezer though? I thought they were just ****ty alt rock. Not punk.

I use the word punk in more than one way tbh. There's punk as in attitude and I think there's also punk as in the sound.

Oh sorry, what I meant was not that Weezer is also punk, but that Green Day feel more like Weezer than "real" punk in some ways.
