How Boring Has is Been Lately?

[Luna Jinx]

Has Green Day been down low lately? Are they up to something?

Hopefully they will do something soon. Anything. Have they been out? A party? A project? Anything?

Are they boring now? Do they do anything fun?

Fake moustaches or expensive grills do not count.

They have a show in three days. They were touring and doing other stuff pretty much nonstop until the short break though. They deserved a rest

GDC last week was definitely boring, right @Mollyluna . Should be getting better since they have been nominated for the VMA's, Garbage Pail Kids cards came out, shows coming up, etc

in Three days Green Day is back.

besides, now would be the perfect time to start announcing shit for the holiday season (New Years Rev soundtrack LP/CD, Boxset, Live Album, Coffee exclusive seven inches)

It used to be so much fun here. Even Saviors didn't "save" this website, pun intended.
I don't think the mods and admins have a lot of work since like 2023.

Well i still think it was fun, but no one was talking like last week, and I was like "what do I do with my life now," lol. I haven't been here long enough to know what it was like before 2022

Very random but I’m so glad to see this forum is still somehow active. I’m surprise forums on the internet still exist at all 😂 I remember being here when I was in highschool, in like, 2014? I think, and using so much google translate. I can’t for the life of me remember what username I had or what email address I used, but I distinctively remember the fangirl thread lol, I was surprised that was still active as well 😂
 

A lot of life has happened in 10 years, I finished highschool, a masters, had 3 jobs, changed countries, came back, left again, but this summer was very hard for me, with a lot of changes, and like any other time when life was hard, I turned to Green Day for comfort. Needless to say the old Green Day obsession came back and hit full force, more than usual, because I don’t think it ever left, it just got a little quieter 😂 

And I said, why the hell not, let’s make an account here and interact with the fandom for a bit, until it quiets again. Glad to see so many people still around, some usernames I even recognize haha.

Since i'm bored. 

Greetings from philippines.

It gets really quiet sometimes, of course it does, but it’s good to be able to see others are suffering through the drought too and we can commiserate with each  other and if nothing else, go back to talking about Billie Joe’s hair 😂😂

Yes, on Monday at the latest we‘ll have new video footage of the actual state of his hair!😂
 

Meet me at the Fangirls thread….

This place used to be so active and full of news.

I am so glad it still exists. God bless the GDC.

If Green Day is being less active creatively lately hopefully it is just to rest and get ready for something interesting. Have they been changing up the setlists at all or is it still the hits, the predicable “deep cuts” minus anything from the Trilogy.

Sounds like their management has been busy saying yes to Garbage Pail kids and alerting people to awards nominations. That not an evolution of Green Day’s work. That’s just new merchandise and at least an award acknowledgment but Green Day didn’t invent anything new there.

I miss No Fun Mondays and the side projects. I miss rumors and secret shows.

I hope something exciting happens and the GDC threads pick up again.

They are not resting yet. Tomorrow they start the South American leg of their world tour. So the (long?) time of rest and creativity will come afterwards.

And their setlists in Europe this summer were the hits, unpredictable deep cuts 😂 minus anything from the trilogy. I liked it very much but would gladly have taken some trilogy songs too!

I think we have to be ready for a prolonged quiet period.  They have been touring for 18 months after all the work around releasing Saviors, they deserve time off.

Insane Clown Posse have a new album album, who care what Green Day are up to.

Absolutely. Very deserved break. 🩷

Makes me happy to see how much it looks like they have enjoyed touring. ☺️

Ever since becoming a GD fan first thing I used to do in the morning was check GDC/GDA (and again multiple times a day). For years I tried to help keep the site going updating the picture threads but right now I'm taking a complete break (more or less) from the internet plus it's been so quiet on here for a few years now. Some days I don't even check in at all anymore or on Instagram or my Tumblr

Hey, this is what I‘m doing. Even if it’s quiet. Maybe this is a „new fan phenomenon“…😂

I think it's more the general state of the internet though... most people who were really active in the golden years of the forums are now parents with young kids, and/or busy work schedules, so they cannot spend as much time and energy on the forums, or on the band in general. And newer generations are more into social media (TikTok Instagram, etc.), which was not as huge a phenomena back then, so they are not coming to the forums (and that makes me a bit sad because Green Day forums where such a nice place for me when I was a teen, so I feel they're missing out on something). But like I wonder if Taylor Swift forums (to name a really huge artist in terms of number of fans/listeners) today have as much traffic as the GDC or Idiot Club used to have in their golden years?

Funny, some days ago I asked my Swiftie daughter about forums. And the answer was, forums aren’t a thing at all. Everything important happens on TikTok and Instagram. Times change, obviously…

[Beathe.]

With other bands I follow it's mostly X, Instagram and Tiktok. Personally I can't be bothered with Tiktok or X. Parts of one fanbase I'm in, is active on Tumblr which I think is a little funny since so many of them are teens/in their early 20s. I used Tumblr as much as MySpace when I was a teen. 😅 

[jengd]

I just think chatting on the forum feels more natural, but I’m not of the TikTok generation.
