I remember swimming in my backyard pool, listening to Good Riddance on the radio (but I didn't know it was Green Day then aha). I was like, 6.

In-I believe it was- 4th grade, my friend that got me into them taught me some words to "Minority" and our little group of misfits went around singing it, especially around preps and all the kids who hated us to bug them. It wasn't long after that that I got International Superhits and "Minority" became my favorite song.[and Green Day became my favorite band.]
Of course as life works out, now he's hangs around the popular crowd, we don't really speak, and he doesn't even listen to Green Day anymore.
So now I'm the more awesome one.

I remember hearing Good Riddance when I was 7 years old. It was in Planet Hollywood in Orlando, Florida (we were on vacation). I don't know why they were playing music videos that night, as its more of a movie themed restaurant than music themed. Anywho, I remember just loving the song. It was the first song to ever make me get teary eyed. I didn't know who did it then, but it's been my favorite song ever since.

My friends from HS and I went to Barney's Coffee at the Mall in 10th grade and sang Minority really loud. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SHOP for everyone to hear. Laughing

omg I just remembered a very early green day memory. i was flipping channels (I was probably 5 or 6) and I came across a Green Day special on Mtv or something, I can't remember exactly. Anyways, someone came on the screen saying "I remember walking in to find him lying on the bathroom floor naked," and my mom walked in and was like "What are you watching?!? Turn that off!" lol... if only I knew then that they were talking about the guy of my dreams...lol

Hearing BOBD on the radio when I was 11. Loved it but didn't look into it until I bought American Idiot because it came with a 2 for £10 sticker on it and I was buying a CD for mum with a 2 for £10 on it. As they say the rest is now history. Or words to that effect...

I was in fifth grade, and during this time, I was obsessed with country music and wouldn't give any form of rock a chance because I thought it was all like that red neck metal crap my step dad listened to. However, I heard the lines "I'm having trouble trying to sleep/ I'm counting sheep but running out" at some point in my childhood (probably before 2002) and when I'd have a night of insomnia, I'd start counting sheep and try to run out. Not only did it work, but I was subconsciencely a Green Day fan. I didn't know who they were, but I knew I liked those lines.

When I was 8, my aunties boyfriend used to baby sit me, and he had Kerplunk on tape... those were some good times. Later he had Dookie on CD, and he gave me a copy. I love him to this very day.

It was about 5 or 6 years ago and my neighbor and I were talking about music and he said he liked Green Day. He had this huge black Green Day sweatshirt. But I don't think he likes them anymore. Neutral
I had no idea who they were at the time and didn't start to care until late '04/early '05.

*bad memory*
2 years ago, I was listening to the radio, and Holiday came on, and I could have sworn it was American Idiot...I was a little slow when I was 12. Or just not a huge fan.

I was about 5-7 and I was sitting with my parents in the car, and Good Riddance came on, and, I'm not sure, I just fell in love with it. Then after a whlie, I heard When I Come Around, and that also helped.
