Woo, it's Megan.:

They're not punk. But they go around saying they are. It IS lame.


They say they aren't on a ton of videos. ._.
They also say they ARE in a ton of videos. Maybe not as many. But they're like "We're influenced by punk bands, and we are a punk band yadda yadda yadda"

i love green day.... thyere totally righteous, but ive started to lose interest in them, because ive becom more interested in other music 70s-80s stuff.... and when you look at the ramones, and the clash, and the sex pistols, which is what green day was suppose to be formed on, you realize how much they have changed since amerian idiot. the sayin, punks not dead.... well, thats ture, but i feel like green days killin it now, because of this new phobia of people thinkin emo is punk..... help keep punk alive, people!!!!
rock on


ps...punks not dead untill there is no one on earth left who beleives in doin what your heart feels like doing!!!!

The problem is Green Day rips off the sex pistols and the clash and the ramones to seem "punk" and they suck at it. Green Day isn't really killing it...the way people potray "punk" kills it(which Green Day does take part in)... I think. Confused
I don't think that green day has tried to be punk
I mean, I've heard themselves categorize themselves as that but I think that they're alternative rock

Yeah, that is what they are. They try to be punk but just make themselves look like idiots. I'm not saying I know all about punk or anything because I don't really like punk. Neutral.

No they do not. Your making yourself seem like all those other people on GSB that think their too hardcore for Green Day now, like Lik said.


I agree with that. You're WaaYyYy ToO hardcore for SilLy Green Day fans and OuR SilLy Green Day fansite. Maybe leaving would be a good answer? Wink

to_me_its_nothing:
I'm not really losing interest, kind of decreasing.. BUT I could probably understand why others are.
Growing fanbase liked Green Day because of the fact that they had new songs out and it was played all the time, winning awards, etc.
Now, they're not really giving anything to [many of] the [new] fans (besides the suspense of their new album), so it's not as exciting to many people because there is nothing to talk about when discussing Green Day.
The only reason I'm a bit disappointed is because Green Day is now known as sort of the "politics" band. It's annoying. Watching the Kids Choice Awards win speech sort of hit me in the head and drilled part of that into my brain. I don't know. I haven't really lost interest, just there hasn't been the excitement that there was.


^That, and I may have overplayed their songs just a teensy bit too much in the last year....

It's not that I don't like them anymore.. it's more that i've found out about a lot of bands i didnt know existed before, and they sort of take up more time.

because they are way overplayed. im not saying i don't like them anymore, believe me i still enjoy their music. but their older stuff was way better than their newer stuff. people keep calling them "punk". that is a load of crap. they aren't even near punk. they have tons of different influences, and different sounds, and different ranges in styles of lyrics and music. they are way too overhyped now. people are taking them the wrong way. everybody is thinking "OMG BILLY JO IS SO HAWT. LYK DUN YOO JUS LUV HIS BLUE EYZZ!!?!?!". honestly, wtf. if people are going to obsess over them, at least have the decency of getting things right. i can't believe people are so nieve into thinking BJ is the hottest guy on the planet and is the only important and talented member of the group. not only do people forget about Mike and Tre, but they also forget about the rest of the guys. if your going to freak out about loving their music, you've gotta learn to respect all the members playing the instruments. if it were all about billie, then they would be called "Billie Joe". but it's not like that, that's why it's a group name, not a solo artist's name. and what i don't understand is how people obsess about Billie's wife Adie. i mean, i know she's very beautiful and very great, but come on people, she doesn't know who you are and she most likely doesn't want you to get into her personal life. and for those who hate her, for being married to "Billy Jo" ( -_- ) get a life. be happy for him that he has someone to love. and lastly,respect the producers, directors, and everyone else who makes them the way they are. because without them, there would be no green day. thank you.


Hardly any of that is true.

One: Almost ALL Green Day fans now that Green Day isn't punk. They are Alternative. K? Wink

Two: I have never seen someone who actually talked like that or said that (see bold). Stop exaggerating, you fucking sheep.

Three: No Green Day fan singles out Billie Joe, we love Mike and Tre just as much. And if anyone singles him out, it's people who aren't even fans, and they shouldn't be a reason to not like Green Day. (Not saying you do...)

Four: I have Never, I repeat: NEVER, seen or met an Adie hater. We love her just as much as Billie Joe. Again, stop fucking exaggerating.

Do you get the picture? Wink


about hte bold print , i have heard a group of girls talk like that , at hte GD concert i went to , they screamed every time a guy in all black came out ven boefore any bands came on , one of them even said "omg i can't believe hte only member i know is billie joe"

Had to look back and see if I posted in here, anyways; I haven't particularly lost interest in them, in fact I think I have gained interest in them quite it a bit this last year or so. True I've been a fan forever, but I don't easily get bored of things or lose interest. i think everyone is just making a big deal out of AI and it's sucess is pissing everyone off because they're just a "punk band." Then everyone ties emo into punk and has developed this phobia of being emo which in turn causes people purposely lose interest because they are afraid of what others think of them. Pity really. None of my friends like Green Day but that doesn't stop me from liking them. I look at it this way, you can like whatever the hell you want to like and people should just mind their own business about it.
I don't give a shit what people think, I haven't lost interest one bit. End rant.

It makes sense, thats why. Its a pretty clever statement.

I got into Green Day at about the same time as I got into 'rock' music and started dressing a little differently; growing up a bit. Basically, GD had just come out with AI and they were all over the radio, TV, everywhere. They were accesible. I joined this site because I liked Green Day. I can bet you all these 'hardcore people' thought and did exactly the same.

Now, next I started getting into other bands, better bands I think. Green Day were like a 'platform' to me, a starting point.

But what I am NOT going to do, is make out like i'm so cool for not liking them any more, and I will always have a sort of affection for them.

Difference between me and the cool people, is i'm not ashamed of what went before. It doesn't make me any better just 'cause I like different stuff now.

I dont know. it just seems i've been playing them too much. i'm not much of a commitment girl. after a month of listening to the same music i need a new focus. so, if I hide all my GD CD's then in about 3 months i'll be all psycotic cos of lack of GD. then I will love them again even more. i still love them though, I will NEVER lose faith.

Growing fanbase and overplaying?

Thats all you guys can come up with??
Seems to me that you're all just 'losing interest' coz they are'nt so unheard of now. The cool thing at the moment is getting into bands noone's heard of...why?

I will not be loosing interest in Green Day any time soon. Maybe I'm not so obsessed as I was, when I first got into them, but this is far from meaning I'm going to abandon them as a fan or lose interest in them to a point where I wont listen to their music or anything.

So yeah, that's my two cents on this subject.
