It's simple; Green Day made me fall in love with music! :)

When i was younger i kept changing styles alot, and i was trying to find what sort of music i really enjoyed and stuff, but then i got into green day, and through them got introduced to loads of great bands, so if it wasn't for them, i probably wouldn't be the way i am now. They helped me get through the time when i was really self-concious, and helped me look at the whole, i'll be who i wanna be and i don't have to be scared side of things. Sounds sooo teenie and very cheesy, but its true :) I changed loads cause of them.

Well, to be perfectly honest, without their music I probably wouldn't be alive right now.

Other than that, they've influenced me to be more outspoken in my beliefs, and to not really give a fuck about what other people think.

In a lot of ways. Well, let me put it this way, they helped with changes already occuring.

I had left Evangelical Christianity about two years before American Idiot came out. It is really, really hard to get all that stuff out of your head, about going to hell, your gonna burn you heathen, don;t say that it's wrong, etc,etc.

I was shaking that off....and slowly winning. I remember though, one night driving home from work, and "Are We the Waiting was playing. The verse

"The rage and love, the story of my life,

The Jesus of Suburbia is a lie",

came on, and I just started crying out of no where. I realized that whole time in my life, all the things I had been taught and believed were a complete lie.

At that one moment, I let it all go. Finally. I know it's odd...

They taught me, through all their music, to be tougher about being myself. I have always been different, been myself (well except when I was an evangelical robot. :/ ), and not cared. Now it is different somehow. I am even more proud of it than I was. I guess a fuck you attitude, but not in a mean, "I hate you way", Just in a "you know what, I DON"T CARE what you think" way.

I know a lot of people don't consider Green Day punk, but lately I have really started learning about and getting into punk music. Since I have about a million bands to learn about, pick from, etc, it is gonna take awhile.

Also, I picked my guitar up because of them.

And finally, the ending to my book. Which will be on sale at Borders starting tomorrow.

They are helping me through a really, really shitty time in my life.

are we honestly serious about this?

the best thing green day did for me, is played music i enjoyed.

the worst thing it did to me.

i embarrassed myself infront of like 10 people who told a million more people.

i sang good riddance for another girl who loves green day.

there, in all honesty.

uhm your worst would be being inspired to rob a bank tomorrow dressed like fink.

Admit it katie.

best: change my musical taste

worst: have people think I like MCR

Posted

Green Day inspired me to do someone else's cocaine, rather than my own. They also inspired me to slice my hand open in a public bathroom.

Posted

Music doesn't really inspire me to do anything.

Nothing does, really. Yeah, I fail.
