My guilty pleasure is ridiculous power metal, a la Dragonforce.

You can look it up in the dictionary under 'Green Day effect , The'
Don't bitch about Green Day. They've been around long enough, so if they want to make their music more commercialized, I say let em.

The band's sound is O.K to my ears and I don't buy their new stuff, so I feel no shame in calling myself a (gulp) fan.

Altough them playing on American Idol was the biggest sell-out performance in human history...

Their "American Idiot" album got me into Punk rock, and I still enjoy it, even if only for nostalgia's sake.

That's the thing - it isn't more commercialized. Everyone just seems to love pretending that Dookie wasn't poppy.

It's not like these bands announced they were out to do anything more than get money in the first place. They didn't have any morals or ideals to sell out on. I think people, particularly in the punk scene, throw around the world sell out far too much and use it as an insult for everything when most bands they apply it to never really sold out because they were never anything more than an outfit to make money. Sure, bands like Against Me! and Anti-Flag deserve to be called sell outs all they want because they actually did but Good Charlotte? Were they ever all DIY OR DIE!? Did they ever play anything more than lame pop-rock made for angsty preteens? Nope.

you have an interesting point, im going to remember that

Punk is an attitude as much as a genre. If it is used to sell records then it is'nt Punk.
