The Official Green Day Thread

CoNtrivedNiHilism · 10-14-2014, 10:04 AM

I just wanted to say that I read the first few pages of this thread, and it served as no surprise that those who were praising this 'punk' band that some were hilariously called an 'emo' band (I really laughed out loud, that somebody actually thinks that Green Day is an emo band...) seemed to be still in high school and in their teens. That explains the adoration.

They're a nominee in the Rock Hall Of Fame purely for the fact of how long they've been around, their massive fanbase, and amount of albums sold. What more could it be based on? There's nothing really impressive musically, whatsoever. I understand Nine Inch Nails being a nominee, an impressive body of work with that band (well, it's been mainly Trent Reznor doing everything since the bands inception when Richard Patrick of Filter and Marylin Manson were in the band as guitarists...) But, why Green Day other than the reason I mentioned? Popularity, popularity, popularity...contest. That's why for the most part I ignore this once respectable thing called The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. It's a joke anymore...

American Idiot is my favorite of their albums.

This is everything I feared after seeing the brutal battle on Twitter between people who I felt were taking the dunk opportunities to show off, and the die-hards who said this was "won of their best."

Call me a boomer, but I'm going to listen to Dookie.

Not a boomer, just a millennial maybe. I was eight years old when Dookie came out and my aunt dubbed it to a cassette and photocopied the liner notes for me, so that would have actually been my first punk album if I'm not counting the Clash or Ramones LPs that my mom had

Both lack talent and substance.

There was a special place in my heart for Green Day...
Until they released American Idiot. It was so out of character, not to mention pretty freakin crappy. And then it was overplayed to such an extreme that every time I hear their name or anything about them, I get the urge to bludgeon myself over the head with a heavy object in order to spare myself from having to listen to them one more time.

but... having a Green Day is about sitting around doing nothing but smoking weed all day, and on the 20th.
