Estell Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 exactly.Absolutely exactly, who could think so, who is this person? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OasisFan Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Actually, I believe they are a boy band. I think 'boy band' has evolved in meaning over time. Right now I take it to mean whatever is popular with teenage girls. Green Day, Fall Out Boy, and My Chemical Romance are all popular with the teenage girls. Therefore I would classify them as a new type of 'boy band'.Of course, now I'm eating my words . I looked it up on Wikipedia and TECHNICALLY they are not a boy band. Check it out, here's the link:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boy_BandThey aren't listed as a boy band, either. So, I suggest you show that to your "knowledgable" brother .

Estell Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 I agree!but I don't care if someone tell green day r a boybandfor me they'r the best rock-punk band in the worldI EGREE WITH YOU!!!But GD` re adults, but behave as teenagers!!!

justcause Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Of course Green Day are not a fucking boy band - but you could be forgiven for thinking that from the way they're sold to the younger end of the market.I think it all started with the video for the American Idiot single - how old does Billie Joe look in that ? And the rapid camera-work just flicks over Mike (who does look his years) and Tre so fast that you don't get any real impression of them at all. That, and the goofy, put-together 'interviews' and crap that appears in kids' magazines on a regular basis, right next to the actual boyband shit.I think this sucks, both from the p.o.v. of the band's integrity (although there's no evidence to suggest they know or care!), but also from the p.o.v. of the kids - it's dishonest to sell them something in this saccharine way, that's actually pretty adult in its nature.

waving_the_flag Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 i agree i feel that they have been marketed to too young an audience to make the kids think they are a boy band, when really the song are of a more adult natureBut don't you think that Jesus of Suburbia kinda made up for it? My parents (who aren't conservative at all and usually don't mind us watching things that are rated for people older than us and never pay attention to the parental advisory on CDs and Dvds) threw a fit when they saw JoS on TV and I wasn't allowed to watch it if my siblings were around.
