do you have problems talking about green day to pals

[spark in the night]

sometimes it feels weird. its sad because none of my friends are Green Day lovers. I had to take my mom with me to see BIAB. lol.

I did take my friends to a Green Day concert and they really liked it but....they wouldnt cover their room with Green Day posters and be on this site.

When I started wearing a bunch of adeline gear to school and my friends wanted to know what it was I told them it was Billie and Adie's record company and they just rolled their eyes and said I was obsessed. its true. but its not like I make fun of them for the bands they like. why would they make fun of me?

[Whydoyouwanthim]

nope.

[The Doctor]

I have a few friends who I can Green Day whore with, but only them... Everyone else is either into metal or ska or RnB or whatever. I don't mind though. I can talk to you guys!

I Can Talk to Some Of Friends About Green Day

And Some I Can't

[SHE_]

MOST OF THE PPL AT MY SKOOL ARE FUCKIN WIGGERS :down: I ONLY HANG WITH THEM BECAUSE IVE KNOWN THEM MY WHOLE LIFE. I HAVE A FEW FRIENDS WHO LIKE OLD SCHOOL GREEN DAY BUT THEY SAY IM TO OBSESSED IM THE ONLY ONE WHO SEES THE TALENT THEY HAVE OUT OF MY STUPID FRIENDS

[wowsers_trousers]

i only have one real friend who is luckily a green day fan too, its usually all we talk about.

i tried to tell some people in my class about the green day concert but they ignored me.

[Guest Lindsey]

Yeah my friends diss me all the time for liking Green Day.

I got used to it, it doesn't bother me. I like what I like, and that's it.

[zoki]

I just hate my friends for hating Green Day and not knowing shit about them except that their new songs are overplayed.

If I could, I'd make a documentary on the guys' lives and Gilman and stuff and make my HIM and MCR-loving friends watch it so they know to fucking shut their mouths before they judge them and shit.

My friend heard me playing Brainstew once and she asked if Green Day did a cover of it, that she knew it a couple years ago and liked it. Naturally, I had to lecture her and say that no it was their original song.

Then another time she was over at my house with her sister and she was looking at all my Green Day albums and said, "You know, it's sad that they've put out this many albums and haven't been famous till now." And so I had to tell her that they were just as popular, if more, during the Dookie days and that Dookie went Diamond.

I wish people would educate themselves before judging Green Day.

Agreed. The only people I have ever met, that hate green day, know nothing about them. THey are always so surprised when I start to tell them about their history. At least when I diss bands, I actually know their shit about their past. (and fuck if HIM and MCR are their fav bands, they know nothing about good music *no offence to their fans*)

[Oh_Botha]

If my friends get sick of it, I talk to my dad. If my dad gets sick of it, I talk to the invisible Billie Joe in my room.

[ghostshipgirl]

i ry to talk to my one freind about it, and she makes it a competition about who loves them more (i do....lol....) and then i have to remind her of the time i asked her if she knew the song holiday, and she nodded and started singing madonna......i just got dumped from a boyfreind because apparently he cant date a girl who loves a band more than her boyfreind.....

[justcause]

You know 'Emenius Sleepus' - 'where did all the little kid go?' - that would be a lot of my friends!

They've forgotten what it is to love a band, and to rush out and buy their latest the minute it hits the stores, and then spend forever talking about it. They're preoccupied with the dull, day-to-day stuff of life, and they've forgotten the things that make life worth living.

As for Green Day specifically, my friends think they're just funny punky guys who sing about jerking off and call Bush an asshole.

I couldn't begin to tell them what they're missing - but , fuckit, that's their loss! I couldn't explain how extraordinary Billie's words are,or how they've affected so many people, so deeply. Like a lot of the world, they just don't take him or his band seriously.

The only people who understand are other fans - so glad to be among you, guys!

[annie]

Heh... I don't usually start conversations about GD with my friends cuz I know they don't give a crap. They do get kinda annoyed occasionally when I force them to listen to Green Day whenever we drive anywhere...

I just tell them "My car... my gas money.. my music."

[lovebillysgirl]

yeah i have that problem, but screw my friends if they don't like green day. they are the ones that are missing out. like whenever i see something of green day i get all excited and all my friends look at me weird. just because they don't like green day

I know.

Hey, Billy will admire you for it. :wink:

[pero2008]

All my friends ahte green day except my 1 friend he only lieks a cpuple of their songs though.

[Lianna]

nahh all my friends love them too.

600th post!

[GreenDay-Idiot]

my friends like them but not as much as I do

[~*johanna*~]

well i love gwen stefani, so i can't bash her...again i say, she has already done so much amazing stuff. who cares if she did the dance thing for fun.

my two friends are down with GD. my buddy carolyn loves them, thanks to me...i took her to see them last year. my other friend likes them, but isn't a huge fan.

[a-punk-likes-nature]

I prefer not talking about GD in front of other people because they'd think I'm crazy...well I'm Crazy

[ArmatageShanks39]

well, a few of my friends think theyre ok but dont really care about music, so dont wanna talk about it. Then i have a few who like em, but started pretending to hate em since its the cool thing to do.

and i dont want em to know im obsessed.

[dirntifiedx3]

that must suck.

i kinda hate it when people do that..well, when thats all they talk about...just how hot someone is..not how good their music is.

that's what happened with me.

i met my friend like 2 years ago, online.

and we turned into best friends last summer.

and then she kinda turned into

"THANK YOU MACKIE, FOR BRINGING GREEN DAY INTO MY LIFE"

and talked about how Billie is so hot.

but now that it's been like 3 - 4 months, she's shifted to Fall Out Boy.

and "GREEN DAY AND FALL OUT BOY ARE MY TWO FAVORITE BANDS"

but she thinks she's not emo,

but she has no idea how emo and scene works,

"breakdancing not hearts"

ughh.

i hate the whole emo and scene thing.

i wish she wasnt such a poser.

it sucks really bad.

[piratepalmer]

I only discovered what "emo" meant a few months ago...... :laugh:

Anyway - I get loads of grief and sarcasm from my partner over liking Green Day. He's such a music snob it's untrue. Plus he's jealous. He wants to look that good in eyeliner...... :wink:

[whatsername361]

My friends say Green Day has such a bad figure. They said it's because they show their asses in their shows. and curse a lot. and they said eyeliners wasn't meant for them. and oh, they have a lot of tattoos.

they bug me so much!

[cazima]

my workmate complains about my liking for green day...he reckons that their drummer is really fat...i said he may be a bit chubby but he's a shit hot drummer.
