I did myself. I was watching TV like 2 years ago then I saw a Green Day video (had never seen them before, I don't watch TV, hate it ) and I thought: Omg. Good music on TV. Finally a cool band. Not much later I ran to the cdstore and bought American Idiot. Then International Superhits and Dookie, then Insomniac etc...
The song American Idiot. It was when I was in 6th grade when I went carpool after school and I heard it on the radio when I got in the car. I kinda liked Green Day and then grew out of it. Then I got back into Green Day when I heard the song again on the radio 6 months ago. Kinda odd isnt it?
My cousin got me into Green Day...and alot of other stuff that I listen to now, like AFI, CKY, The Bloodhound Gang, among others. Thank him for the freaky obsessions!!!
I kinda just always grew up with them. I was born in 94 so pretty much ever since Dookie. My parents are 29 and 30 so yeah, they're young and they love punk music and shit like that.
Well, my older sister taped a video of theirs, and though it was cool and wanted to show me. After hearing and seeing it I just loved them! I downloaded a bunch of songs right away
my best friend. I've heard other songs from them along time ago liek Good Riddance but I never really knew who they were until American Idiot came out and my best friend "loved" them. so yeah. kinda got me into them alot more.

I first heard Good Riddance (of course, I didn't know who sang it, neither did I care...but I care now, I swear!!) on the radio a while back when I was...7 I think. But those were dark times when I was into N'SYNC, Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears.
Last year, my friend had a Rolling Stone cover on her binder with Green Day on it. We started talking but only about the songs I knew (American Idiot, BOBD, and WMUWSE). I wanted to know more about them because my friend called me a poser for saying I liked Green Day and only knew those songs.
I pretty got myself into it really. At the beginning of the year, I started downloading songs from iTunes from American Idiot onto my iPod and really started to like them. The months past and now I'm obsessed.

well i have a story to tell to explain how and who got me into green day.
When Good Riddance {Time Of Your Life} came out ma big cousin Scott asked me if i liked it, i said it was pretty awesome and totally fell in love with it although i wasnt mad bout Green Day, but when American Idiot came out i loved them and still do......so i suppose in a way it was Scott but in another way it was all Me lol
Well, when I was younger I was in love with Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life), but I didn't officially get into them until I heard BOBD. Don't criticize...
I liked Boulevard of Broken Dreams kind of, but not like enough to get me into them but I added it to a CD my bro was making me for my b-day. My sister like American Idiot but I didn't at the time, so I added that kinda for her I guess. After hearing it so many times along with BOBD, it just sorta grew on me and then I heard Holiday and my bro who doesn't even like them just so happened to have American Idiot and I'm very adept at doing stuff on the internet... so yeah. I watched music vids on launch at yahoo and eventually was like wondering about their older stuff which I eventually began to like. There's more to it, but that's basically it... Very complicated.
