To everyone posting about Green Day:

Fuck you. Lock them in a room with "Banned in DC" on repeat and let them sort out what they've done to themselves all these years.

Edit: And I said no Minor Threat because then they might become arrogant straight edge pricks.

 

Ouu... point taken...
"SXE FOR LIFE"
"...go fuck yourself"
"Thats sex and-"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP"

Say if were going extreme, perhaps some GG Allin is in order

 

That is the best dialogue I have seen since I made a comic of me talking to an idiot Nirvana fan on April 5th.

 

dont forget the queers.

 

ok, I said this once and I will say it again.

any band that claims they are punk and they regularly appear on mtv and/or trl is not punk, but a band posing as punk, in essence they are poseurs. plain and simple. if they were true punk, they would not go onto mainstream, corporate, tv airwaves and suck the cock of MTV. true punks are against all of that mainstream, corporate, popular bullshit. there was a time when Green Day was a typical independent label punk band, but Dookie changed all of that.

here is the definition of a poser for those of you who really dont know exactly what it means.

poser

n 1: a person who habitually pretends to be something he is not [syn: poseur] 2: a person who poses for a photographer or painter or sculptor; "the president didn't have time to be a model so the artist worked from photos" [syn: model] 3: a particularly difficult or baffling question or problem [syn: stumper, toughie, sticker]

poser

n. A wannabee; not hacker slang, but used among
crackers, phreaks and warez d00dz. Not as negative as lamer or
leech. Probably derives from a similar usage among punk-rockers
and metalheads, putting down those who "talk the talk but don't walk
the walk".

also a definition of pop-punk according to allmusic.com for those of you who dont think that green day fits in the same mold as good charlotte and yellow card.

Punk-Pop is a post-grunge strand of alternative rock that combines power-pop melodies and chord changes with speedy punk tempos and loud guitars. Green Day and Weezer were the first bands to popularize this variation of alternative rock in 1994, though there were several groups to play this style before either group and there were many artists that followed their stylistic blueprint after their success.



the definition of a poseur is a person or thing that is acting like something they truely arent. It has nothing to do with variety, or how good they sound. just because good charlotte, avril lavigne and yellow card are labeled poseurs, doesnt mean that Green day isnt a poseur because they have better music, thats absurd. they are all poseurs!!

 

that's sad. i like greenday, but beause i LIKE them, not because it's "cool", i assure you. i've liked them for years. the new cd is pretty alright. it's very musicalicious. are you trying to get people to not like them? please don't do that. tha'ts mean. what have they dont wrong? they seem like nice guys. i could be wrong, but i heard they're vegetarian

 

woody harrelson is vegetarian too, that doesnt necessarily mean that I think he is cool.

 

How many times do I have to say it?


SHUT THE HELL UP, YOU DUMB FUCKING HIPPIE.

VEGETARIANS = RETARDS.


Goddamn, do I have to be the only voice of reason here?

 

K i agree with most of the green day haters but in comparason to any main streem semi punk band at least they can be tolerated.. .like come one.. Greenday or New found glory or simple plan... id still pick greenday

 

Ok, there are things that go BEYOND the music. Do you understand? Beyond. The problem is that Greenday declare themselves punks, do NOT play punk music, do NOT live a punk lifestyle, do NOT have any message to deliver, and when they get on TV screaming "THIS IS PUNK!" it really hurts people like us real punks who don't want to piss in public for the shock value, who actually have a message behind their breakdowns, riffs, bass lines, and lyrics. If you have no involvment in the punk scene you can not understand where we come from when we speak out against bands like Greenday. You take the music first and the attitude second true, and so we've done that. They produce childish music with no balls or soul behind their highly generic lyrics and PAINFULLY dull instrumentals. And then they have the attitude of a teenager going through puberty. THAT is why greenday blows balls. THAT is why we hate them. Not because the cool kids dont listen to Greenday or its the "anti-conformist/anti-cool" thing to do. We hate them because everytime they are seen on TV someone says, "Thats what punk is" and in a club somewhere a real punk chokes on his own vomit, or goes into a seizure from a strobe light, or someones trampled in the pit, etcetera etcetera etcetera

 

I love you too

 

The word poseur is so over-used. Just shut the fuck up, if you don't like them, don't fucking listen to them.

 

Actually, if you completely cut red meat out of your diet,(not fish, and chicken, but red meat), and ate other sources of protien, you would be a whole lot healthier. By the way, Babe Ruth was a vegetarian.

 

Sicne when does liking Green Day make you a hippie? You are an ignorant, closed-minded, dickweed.

 

Spastic... People who say a word is overused and thus should not be used... I really cant comment on that because of the stupidity. Its about more than not liking the music. Are you even listening you little skater kid, wannabe badass?

 

"Dookie" is awesome. I don't really care WTF they represent but that is a great album.

 

i've never cared much about them.

 

fuck greenday. fuckin batads. as a muscain i know that shit is freakin easy. why play it. pretty repetiditive.

" by the way, which ones pink?"

 

First of all, I don't even skate. Second of all, I don't try to be a "badass" as you so elegantly put it, I'm more of the opposite.

 

it doesn't matter if it's easy it matters if it sounds good. Plus even if it isn't easy to play doesn't mean it wasn't hard to come up with
