BucksCoEric Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 Okay so in recent weeks on twitter I have been seeing people tweet the hashtag #showyouragewithonestatement tweeting things like "get off the phone i need to use the internet" or something like that. And since many of us have been fans of green day for a long time, I thought it'd be a fun game to play with fans. So you can either share some statement or a specific memory or anything really you remember that would show how long you've been a fan. Mine would probably be having to go onto windows media player to watch green day music videos before youtube was around.
Chin for a Day Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 Mine would be watching MTV all day to see the Longview video again.

But you were only like 9 years old back then, weren't you? AI was released shortly before I was old enough to vote for the first time and it made me get involved in politics, it became the soundtrack of my generation and my life.
Tubbie Head Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 Using literally all my internet (500mb a month?) to go to GDA and ask my dad to download GD videos for me and then burning them on CDs. I've only been a fan for 10 years tho.
Hermione Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 Assuming Green Day weren't worth listening to when I was 14-15 because there was so much shitty pop punk around at the time and they were always mentioned in the same category Getting my first Green Day album by taping my dad's CD of it Finding out about Foxboro Hot Tubs on Teletext (although the last two show how not up to date I was more than my age )
AimieeSmith Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 Trying to stream American Idiot on Windows media player and it kept "buffering" due to a 56kbs modem !
Guest ~Basket Case~ Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 "I wasn't even a twinkle in my parents eye when Dookie was released." Little did they know 4 years later they would have a huge Dookie making machine on there hands.
Ceitko Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 When the Minority video came out and being in love with it. I also used to record Green Day shows (Kerrang! 30 mins of Green Day, VH1 etc) straight onto VHS..

Paola17 Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 Alright , two statements: 1) 9 year old me asking 'What am I listening to' (in an unimpressed manner) in response to Boulevard of Broken Dreams. 2) Fast forward 2-3 years and going on Limewire.
The Grohl Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 My gosh..Limewire! I think I used to look for GD performance vids on there.
bass boy Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 Downloading as many songs as I could on Limewire when i was a little 8/9 year old
BucksCoEric Posted July 12, 2017 Author Posted July 12, 2017 One thing i forgot until just now was my mom asking a worker in the cd store if she could listen to a few songs off american idiot to see if it was appropriate for my 9 year old earsstupid explicit content sticker. First album i ever bought though.
