Maybe they just think it’s better then 21CB, which I understand being almost a taboo thing to say for that generation of fans that started to listen to this band around that time, but it’s a legitimate opinion.
I still have to listen to Saviors, and I grew up and adore 21CB in many ways, but also recognize it’s probably their record that aged worse. 

The “bridge the gap” thing is something the band started to mention, and as I understand it is both from a sound and lyrics perspective, a mix of the maturity they got with AI and the playfulness of Dookie. IMHO what they tried and mainly failed to do with RevRad. Then again, still have to listen to Saviors and only heard 4 songs out of 15, so will hold my judgement on all of this.

How has 21CB aged badly? Cause I honestly think it's aged so well. It is dated but no more so than American Idiot. Saviors is for sure going to be dated too with the references to social media and "Livin' in the 20s" which 10 years from now is obviously going to be seen as a song about living in the early 2020s. But being dated isn't necessarily a bad thing. The political commentary is just as relevant today and no Green Day album has gone this in depth in politics. It's always going to live in the shadow of American Idiot just due to AI being the first Green Day album of that kind but I think 21CB is always going to be considered one of the best Green Day albums outside of AI/Dookie and for good reason

Not necessarily and only from a lyrics perspective, I just think that the whole record, looking also at music composition, production choices, as well as lyrics, is working for me way less then how it was working in 2009. To give an example, that epic vibe, so epic to get almost pompous sometimes, was glorious to me back then, it was exactly what I wanted from the band after AI, now it feels at times tired and at times a missed attempt at reaching what AI was doing (without having to be pompous). AI is a piece of art that, contrary to 21CB, I can listen non-stop and front-to-back 20 years later. Just my opinion of course.

It feels really poignant as Billie repurposes Smells Like Teen Spirit lyrics to reflect on how messed up 2024's society is.   "Everybody's Famous" is just.....poetic and great and....I know I'm famous.  You guys are famous.  Everybody's famous.    Stupid and contagious.  

as we all die young someday.

we all die young someday.

we all die young and watch it slip away

 we all die young someday

 

Could this potentially mean afi and nirvana partially influenced saviors ? or am I overthinking?

Just going by the lyrics I find it interesting that Fancy Sauce ends the album on a pretty dark note. He typically prefers to end albums on hopeful notes it’s why See The Light and Ordinary World are album closers. This time he said fuck it.

This is great news. The best album closers are darker in tone IMO.

Whatsername, FOD, Prosthetic Head, to a certain extent Macy’s Day Parade.

Get that fancy sauce and put it on all your food. This is called the saviors treatment. You will feel like you just listened to fancy sauce.
