Sitting in my living room, listening to the CD my dad ran out to get on its release day on the speakers. Mom walks into the room "don't you sing these lyrics out loud"
Me, a rebellious 11 year old: "a free for all, FUCK. THEM. ALL." (when she had left the room of course because I didn't want my ass kicked)

I've written tons of fanfic for TV characters but RPF is a line I will not cross. Ew. (Sorry if that's your thing, it just creeps me out on their behalf.)

My mum putting on International Supervideos and 4-year-old me asking for "the worms one" and refusing to look at the screen while Geek Stink Breath played.

(The worms one was Brain Stew).

I refuse to look at that video even now.

Ooh i got a couple!

1. Spending ages flicking through music channels to catch another glimpse of the just-released video for Holiday

2. Downloading a song called Brown Eyed Girl from Limewire because it said it was by Green Day but it was another band

3. My best friend sending me webcam clips of her listening to WMUWSE via MSN Messenger 

Aah misleadingly named mp3s making the rounds, those were the days!

I have a vague memory of associating Minority with the semi-cool kids (ironically) in secondary school when it must've been relatively new. Fast forward 6-8 years to sharing newly discovered Burnout via yousendit on my livejournal account. I wrote "oh to have been ten years older" and my bff replied "but then you'd be thirty now! :o ". The horror lol.

I bought my copy of Nimrod myself the week it came out with my own money when I was 9.

Coming into the living room where my 12 year old son had turned up the volume on MTV for American Idiot, opening my mouth to say something horribly parenty like, wow, thats loud and then stopping to look and listen and going ah "ah, Green Day" and sitting down to watch. Hooked all over again.

My 13 yo self turning to my best friend and saying holy shit this song's great and the guy singing is gorgeous. My friend did not agree and called me a weirdo =/

My 9 year old self singing along to 21 Guns and Wake Me up When September Ends when they played the songs in the radio. A few years later I watched all the music videos on Youtube after I rediscovered Green Day for me.

Seeing the clip of Boulevard of Broken Dreams (and later American Idiot) on MTV charts in early 2005--also recorded them on VHS. :lol: (I didn't really understand the language at tha time so I decided to study it; also started to gather more info on them like, songs, lyrics, photos, posters, started buying their older albums, too.) Good ol' times. :wub:

Oh I got one! Hearing a really odd selection of Green Day songs from Yahoo's online radio before I knew the entire discography. Like deep cuts from Warning and Shenanigans. I specifically remember hearing Hold On for the first time on that weird little Yahoo thing.
