Did Green Day change your musical taste?

[Pineapple]

Yes i use to listen to hip hop

[Bloody Mascara]

I listened to pop (Spice Girls, Backstreet boys, etc) and oldies I think alternative rock. Whatever my dad listened to, I always loved.

CCR =

[to my own beat]

definitly, i used to like rap music, but i dont like to talk about those days.

[GNRAGE_2010]

Green Day was some of the first music that i liked.

[Wednesday]

Before I started listening to Green Day I didn't really listen to a lot of different kinds of music. I really only listened to Smash Mouth and idk the backstreet boys or something. Though since I started listening to Korn, Slipknot, Linkin Park, and Gorillaz. Then later I looked at some groups before them like the clash, the ramones, talking heads, and things like that.

[farley drexel hatcher]

When i was really little i liked pop, but by the time i got into Green Day i was already into rock. They just got me into it in a big way and even more into the music side of it. Their music definitely changed me though.

[autumn rose]

i would phrase it that they saved it.

[Boston]

I started liking them when 'American Idiot'(the single) came out...before then I didn't really listen to music. I was kind of paranioed about not fitting in back then, so I kinda listened to whatever my friends said was cool. Then, I bought American Idiot and fell in love with it. After that, I got a new friend who introduced me to old bands like the Clash and stuff so now I listen to a lot of UK 70's/early 80's punk, some pop-punk, a little bit of inidie, and a little emo. Green Day definitly swang my taste in music 360 degrees.

[my_love_to_st_jimmy]

no if i think about it. right now i'm still listening to a band called BELFAST FOOD (ohhh... the only band i listen longer than gd) and they sound like rock with some old-english elements. you wouldn't get it. this song's called Sally MacLennane and few minutes ago it was Step It Out Mary. Hahaha. And there's a song called Van Iz Grada (Out Of Town). here, this is it's chorus (translated of course):

Running, going away

Out of this town

I put "copyright" on ugly memories

That's enough forever

I leave this apartment

Let the cold bears of the north comfort me.

haha it sounds better on Croatian:

Bjezim, odlazim

Van iz ovog grada

Stavljam "copyright" na mucna sjecanja

Dosta je zauvijek

Izlazim iz stana

Nek' me tjese hladna piva sjevera.

hahaha. anyone who's from usa canada australia or uk don't try to read it please! i know how it sounds. it's a complicated language.

[ChemicEmotions]

Nah, Ozzy did.

[Guest I-Wanna-Be-The-Minority!]

green day changed my musical taste completely! before i liked green day i liked pop n r'n'b. i no its embarresing. it was mainly all mainstream crap, like stuff everyone else listened to. but after hearing green day, i was blown away because it was something completely different. and then i statred getting into other bands like the living end, panic! at the disco, the killers, pinhead gunpowder, the clash, lost profits nd other bands like that. so because of green day my music taste changed frm pop, r'n'b, hip-hop to punk, punk-rock, punk-pop, rock, nd a lil bit of emo. so yer my musical taste is completely opposite after listening tho green day.

[rage_and_love789]

I grew up listing to 311 thats all my mom listend to. Occasonaly she would put in Alien Ant Farm or some other band she hung out with. I herd American Idiot on the radio,and hated it because my mom did. I didnt know that green day played BOBD or good riddance or anything like that so I always said I hated green day....but one day I was on the way home from a camping trip with my class and this kid put in American Idiot and we listend to it all the way home (which was like 6 hours). I startted my obbsesion with green day then (I'm not obbsesed anymore) I got into more kinda punk and emo and pop-punk stuff or just kinda in that Genre. So yes Green Day changed my life....whoa that sounded sappy

[mistress]

no, i was always into punk....but they were the ones who reminded of that and

brought it back to me

[insomniac_ecy]

yeah green day changed the music i listen not just the music they also changed the way of livin my life...if i wasnt changed still had the same stupid thoughts ... they saved my life

[Ultimo3000]

Yeah. I used to like anything. Even (Ugggh!) pop. But now I like punk or rock.

[VictimOfAuthority]

well ive grown up listening to the beatles then my stepdad loves the who so those two bands i grew up with then green day came in when i was 7 . . . . . and now its still rock

[spark in the night]

yep.

[Rebel_Gal]

yes they have cause i used to not listen to music at all. that was till my brother told me about Green Day.

[Gail.]

[billies girl]

umm yeah i guess i used to like more pop bands like good charlotte and simple plan so yeah i guess it went from that to punk rock....

and i didnt really care about green day until i heard holiday...

although i loved when i come around when i was like probably 5 or 6.

[Isabel]

Green Day influenced me to listen to other bands. Because they were always talking about these bands called The Ramones, The Clash, Dead Kennedy's, Rancid, etc. and that got me in to those bands as well

[Guillaume]

green day didn't change my tastes about music because they make me like music!

[kittenslayer]

By the way, to all the people saying "they hate pop, but prefers punk and rock". Take greenday for example, they are technically "pop". Pop punk are actually quite different compred to "proper" punk rock bands.

Listen to some propagandhi and old AFi and you will know.
