Did Green Day change your musical taste?

[Dai.]

yes, they did....i didn't have taste of music before listening to green day...

[Princess by dawn]

Before Green Day I was into a bit of everything, but then I heard them and I immediately loved them, and still do, and then I really got into cool bands. Thanks to Green Day

[Jewels!]

Yes. I used to listen to what everyone else was listening to. (hip hop/rap) I don't like to talk about those times. But I heard some Green Day songs and I was immediately hooked. Now I can't live without their music. They opened my mind and changed me. I now have nothing to do with any other music but rock!

[Guest Phoebe.]

I used to be an Indie whore :/

me too...

[suicidexmakeover]

definatley. i used to be a full on chav with the music taste to go with it. usher nelly etc i listened to it. ahha. and then i heard green day and started listening to music simular to them. i started listening to kerrang radio and looking thorugh bands on the internet. infact green day changed my lifestyle as well as my music taste.

[k-tea]

i sure did! i used to listen to hip hop and rap and now i think it is the most retarded thing ever and im sure many of you would agree luckily now i listen to alternative rock after i heard and got into green day...it also changed my lifestyle alot too. ....whats fucked up though is my friends still listen to rap and shit and when im in the car with them im forced to listen to it it makes my ears burn....alot

[xbasketcasex]

Yeah, they changed it quite a lot. I used to like sort of pop music when I was little, the Spice Girls, that kind of thing. But I never really liked r'n'b or rap, I think I've always disliked that stuff, then I liked Blink 182 and stuff when I was about 12. I like Good Riddance when I was little, but never knew it was Green Day. When AI came out, I found out it was them, then I heard some of their older stuff, and it followed on from there really.

[Guest steph123minority]

dont hate me i was a thug then it started sounding like shit so GD came and now i hate Hip Hop

[punkrockergirl83]

yea... totally.

it was a very magical moment.

[Guest]

Ya, I liked country before them.

[whatevergirl1]

Yeah! i used to go for mostly popish songs(can't believe it. :/ ) but now i am totally immersed in rock music in general. I've listened to a lot of actual punk bands' music too....not like Simple Pan, Good Charlotte or whatever...I also go for artists whose sound reminds me of Green Day too, lol.

[*patronsaintofthedenial*]

before i discovered green day, my favourite bands were busted and westlife.

...

thank fuck for green day!!!!!

(i still listen to the odd westlife song now and again... but 99% of what i listen to is rock and punk now!)

[st.billie]

yeah they did, i didn't use to have musical taste at all. they were like stepping stone to more punk bands to me and they are my favorite band for life

[Amy Armstrong]

haha yea before i had heard of green day i was really sad and i liked... S Club 7 LMAO! that was when i was about 9 tho. I used to be into pop and crap but now im into punk rock and stuff

[shaye]

Yeah, i'd say that Green Day did change my music taste a fair bit.

[Whatsername4]

Yeah. I too did the country thing. now i dont mind it but i cant listen to it all the time like i use too

Yeah i listened to bsb :ph34r: but i was 10! I didnt know what i was doing. I was a follower.

But ever since i heard warning and then american idiot i was hooked on the whole "fuck everyone" vibe.

They exposed me to something i never knew was out there. now im not taking life so seriously.

and if i trip in the hallway before i would turn red and run..now i laugh at my self... thanks guys

[spark in the night]

yes they certainly did

I always grew up with rock music in my house

but since Green Day its definitely stronger

the bands I listen to today, I never would have thought I would get into if it wasnt for Green Day

[st.jenny]

yeah they did. i used to listen to tons of kelly clarkson. then green day opened up the world of rock for me. i still listen to clarkson, but not nearly as much as rock music now.

[katie]

yeah, before i listened to green day i was into matchbox twenty and john mayer and stuff like that ...

[cOMbat babY]

Nope, I liked Green day because of my musical taste

[shenanigans041]

I started getting into pop-punk bands and rock and stuff when I was 10,I went to my first show when I was 11 and that was Sum41,At the concert I kept on hearing about this band Green Day,that was about in 2003 so they hadn't come out with anything for a while,I remember seeing the video Good Riddance (Time of your life) and I didn't really like them bacause I though all there songs sounded like that and I only saw Billie Joe in the video ,(I didn't know who Mike and Tré were yet) So then when there single American Idiot came out I was like "Ohhh thats Green Day,There pretty good!"But I wasn't a big fan untill they played Egos And Icons on muchmusic. I really didn't get into the american idiot cd untill like a year after it came out,I was more into there old stuff and I was like "Oh yeah they have new stuff"and baught the american idiot cd

[saint_jimmy]

i never liked music before Green Day.

now i listen to Anti-flag, Reel Big Fish and Bad religion to name a few.

i love Punk and Ska:D

[M.J.]

I was a different person before Green Day. There was no punk-rock. Now that's all that exists.

Almost...

[stablesoulsgonebad]

They saved me from some bad music. I was going in the(and i have no problem with these kinds of music, i just feel i am better off liking Green Day) Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, (just baisically, anything they played on KIIS FM. It wasnt a pretty sight. But also, Green Day is pretty unigue in my tastes as well. I live a lot of softer stuff besides Green Day. But Green Day is still, without a doubt, my #1!
