Did Green Day change your musical taste?

[.:Tammy:.]

Definately, I used to listen to a whole lot of pop crap and whatever was on the radio before i found Green Day. :ph34r:

[love_bja]

oh yes, really. i heard eminem! (what a taste..).... then my sister listened to green day.. first i thought also, they suck, she heard the music every day (what i do now..).. then i liked them more and more.. today i hate eminem, and i listen to green day ( ) blink-182 and things like that, punk.. alternative.. punkrock..

[Glowing-Orange-Juice]

I was more of a metal-head (at the age of 6 wearing pink dresses. Oh the irony..) listening to Marilyn Manson and so on and I thought Green Day was just annoying. But when my cousin gave me Kerplunk! as a birthday gift last year I loved their music, and they've introduced me to Operation Ivy and stuff like that. So in a sense they changed my musical taste.

[danielharris627]

Nah.

I liked Green Day and blink 182 etc about 7 years ago and basically I heard alice cooper and motley crue and then I just listened to all bands like that about 6 years ago. Twas' a change for the better.

[Sham]

Well I changed my music tastes in the respect that I found a new genre of music I liked, but I still like the stuff that I liked before I heard Green Day. So it hasn't changed my musical taste so much as broadened it.

[Rock'n'Roll!]

It didn't change my taste that much, I was listening to bands like White Stripes nad a lot of rock before, but Green Day definatly opened the door the punk rock for me. If I hadn't started listening Green Day, I would never even think about listening to The Clash, MCR, The Ramones etc. So thank you Green Day

[Whatsername90]

Completely.

[Whatsername868]

I don't think so, well I guess a little. Before GD I was a huge 3 Doors Down fan, and they're kinda a lighter rock band. I also listened to stupid pop on the radio but I didn't like it much. GD introduced me to REAL rock.

[day1_9]

I dont think green day changed my tatse..........i think it was like marron5 or something

beacuse at first i didnt even listen to rock music, i was a big r&b/hip hop fan

but now i dont even like marron5 its too calm

[xBulletxInxAxBiblex]

Yep yep and yep. I have a broad taste when it comes to music, but Green Day introduced me into the punk stuff, old and new.

[warning_(666)]

yes defenatly

[heyhowudoin]

yea before i was listening to like rap crap cause i didnt know any betterl. But now all i listen to is rock and i hate rap

[Ryder]

yea before i was listening to like rap crap cause i didnt know any betterl. But now all i listen to is rock and i hate rap

That's exactly how it was with me. Green day turned me on to every type rock/punk.

[ShutTheFuckUp!]

Yes.

Before I became a real Green Day fan, I listened to Linkin Park and Pop-shit that I heard on the radio, MTV, and stuff like that.

Now i'm more into Punk Rock and Punk Pop.

[Queen of Dookie]

Yep. I used to listen to pop music. Ew I cant think about that :down:

Edit: AND NOW I LIKE GREEN DAY! Ya... I'm into punk rock and classic rock now.

[greenday_111]

god yes! haha... before i listened to shit like hilary duff and liked all the popular poppy teenie music... but i heard by first some-what-punkish song in gr 5 (in too deep by Sum 41) and liked it.. but Green Day really got me into the whole punk-rock thing...

[freak]

i've started to listen to green day almost in childhood, and i just didn't listened something else.

[Kleptomaniac]

yea before i was listening to like rap crap cause i didnt know any betterl. But now all i listen to is rock and i hate rap

And I thought I was the only one. :/

Completely. Years ago,in the mid 80s, I loved the Dead Kennedys because my then bf was into them, but I just didn't see myself as liking punk rock. I t just seemed out of character. I would have been embarrassed to tell anyone I liked them, like they would have thought I was trying to be cool or sth.

So I forgot about punk rock, but most of what was on the radio bored me to tears, except Nirvana. When Kurt Cobain died I was devasted, swore I would never take a band I loved for granted.

First time I heard Green Day I fell completely in love. Then reading about them I found out about the whole scene that had spawned them and I fell in love with punk rock. Now it's pretty much all I listen to.

dead kennedys are one of the best punk bands ever!!!

and before punk, i listened to micheal jackson, still do but not as much, hes like pops musics punk rocker

[Goldec]

Hell yes they did. I'm too embarassed to tell you what I was listening to before Green Day though.. :whistling:

[silkenhopes]

definetly. I pretty much listened to whatever pop and junk was on the radio; now I listen to good music. haha. But really, I do listen to rock/punk/etc now.

[light-this-fuse]

Yeah they did, kind of.

I was merging away from my rap and pop/radio stage awhile ago listening more to pop-punk/emo, but Green Day introduced me to actual punk music.

[basketcase of suburbia]

Of course, after green day i started to like alternative music, and now basically i listen only alternative rock.

[-Maddy31]

before i heard about green day I sorta listened to sum rap, hip hop..all that crap( it's sad to admit). Now i listen to green day, other rock, alternative rock, sum not so famous bands like Samiam, The network, and others like them.

I started listening to Green Day last July. Its when my best friend and I started really getting into them. I don't know if listening to them led me to listening to other music, but it gave me a whole new look into music. I've always been a fan of music, listening to Green Day just really showed me what music is all about. It inspired me. I mostly get my taste of music from my dad. He has a CD collection to die for. Its mostly rock. My dad is really the one that got me into music. Green Day just changed things a little for me.
