You know you're a Green Day fan when...

[Slave To The Network]

When you walk downstairs and your parents are watching some British crime show and the characters are talking about Milton Keynes and all that makes you think of it Green Day (particularly BIAB).

Whenever I go to London or anywhere else down south I pass Milton Keynes and after all these years I still think about BIAB!

When you see a car number plate ending in HAR and you automatically think of Hitchin a Ride

[RedundantIdiot]

When you see a boat called Whatsername and you take a photo of her.

When you were reading an article and you don't remember a word it said but you do remember taking a screenshot of this

When a band member stops their instagram and web forum and you feel bad because you think it's your fault. 

[Montclare]

When you notice your barista has a heart tattoo on her middle finger and you have to resist telling her Billie has one there too.

Also, when you're reading comments on the stock market and do a double take when someone says "it's been a Green Day."

[RedundantIdiot]

When your parents book eye tests and you think of the guy on the cover of Insomniac.

Why? It’s not.

When you order a copy of the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl remakes and immediately transfer your beloved Giratina from Platinum, nicknamed Billie Joe, to Pokémon Home so you can have him in the game with you as soon as you start.

This is really sweet ❤️

When this reminds you of Green Day even though it's more relevant to Prima Donna

When you walk past a church, and rather than read it as "Solemnity", you read it as "St. Jimmy".

[solongfromthestars]

When you hear Fall Out Boy on the radio and think of Green Day even though Hella Mega is Hella No Thanks (I actually quite like FOB to be fair... just not enough to want Hella Mega to exist)

[RedundantIdiot]

When you see a sausage and you think of Tre's sausage comment. Think it was: what does sausage taste like? You can describe it, or you can hand someone a sausage 

[Slave To The Network]

Don't forget the "bloody dink" on the end of it. Billie was dying over that in the Wrigley press conference. 

[pacejunkie punk]

When you watch the Beatles’ Get Back documentary and when Billy Preston comes in to play keyboards you’re suddenly distracted because Billie + Preston.

I didn't know whether to put a  or for this.  I've thought of this so many times.

Just gonna leave this here...

Considering this isn't even where I listen to my audio at home (that honour belongs to Winamp with lossless audio)...

...think I might have a problem.

[RedundantIdiot]

When your family start singing Wake Me Up When Newcastle Win to the tune of Wake Me Up When September Ends. 

[solongfromthestars]

When Green Day and Longshot shows are the benchmark for being bruised and you're comparing your Ikea wardrobe experience to it. For reference, the wardrobe beat me up more than the wildest crowd.

I muted my laptop and left the Complete Green Day Playlist playing all night just so Spotify knows what I'm all about.  

I'm somehow played more Offspring than Green Day through Spotify and I MUST correct this.

I don’t understand why Spotify keeps thinking I want to hear Offspring and Foo Fighters and Pearl Jam all the time as a Green Day fan. I have never voluntarily listened to any of those other bands. I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with those bands but they’re not for me. Green Day as a band/genre/timeline is so all encompassing I guess I can see where those bands come from but based on everything else I listen to it makes no sense. Green Day is throwing off the algorithm to give me stuff I don’t care for sometimes. Prima Donna seems to get it back on track a bit. I like classic rock, glam, punk etc Green Day fits all that at one time or another. Jeezus Green Day is a great band.

Spotify needs to learn what I’m all about… I guess it’s too Scattered.

^simply the most annoying thing the algorythm does after listening to Green Day. I otherwise have good taste I s2g

Spotify thinks you're me.  Interesting.  

It's usually pretty good at recommending stuff, but I've got it in my head that if I play Nimrod nonstop it will be even better.   That reminds me, I've got some Uno blasting right now.   Gotta get back to Nimrod.   

I think I'm on the verge....Nimrod just might be better than American Idiot.    At least at this moment in time.
