Green Day in teen magazines / Girls mags

[jnine13]

I was at at store in the Las Vegas airport today looking for a magazine. They had over 300 different ones in there and as I was looking for something to read, I saw Billie Joe's picture on the cover of one. I went to see what it was and it's Tiger Beat! I know I am out of their age demographic, but don't they usually have younger guys in there? I'm embarrassed for BJ to be even mentioned in that kind of magazine.

i wish those magazines would stop judging bands by their appearance. but i guess they're just catering to the morons in real life who do the same? you know who i mean....the stupid teenies.

i want:

more ugly bands in teen mags

no more poser punk bands

more articles about music and NOT about who the artist is dating

no more stupid quizes which supposedly tell you about yourself.

One thing I've always noticed on the covers of teen chick magazines is that sooner or later they come up with some lame article called "WHAT IS EMO?" The first time I saw this I just thought, "Why the hell would emo come up in a shitty magazine like this one?" I picked up the magazine and read the article. I was so pissed off at what they wrote about emo and how they portrayed it. Like... "Emo kids like to listen to bands such as Story of the Year and Hawthorne Heights and a typical emo kids look like this:" and then they stuck some little cartoon picture of two emo kids with a line pointing to the guy's head saying, "dyed black, greasy hair, long at the front, short and spikey at the back," and another line pointing to the shoes saying, "black low top Converse shoes." Like we need some teeny shithole of a magazine to point that out for us. Those kinds of magazines and the media screw up the whole idea of emo/goth/punk, which in conclusion has turned half of the worlds teenage population into annoying teeenies obsessing over emo guys that hook up with other emo guys, Sonny Moore and having screen names like "(theirnamehere)! at the disco" or "(theirnamehere)onfire". It's just making the whole emo scene look bad and it's an insult to all the real emo. All I have to say to those teenie chick magazines and poser kids out there is: You don't need to have dyed black emo hair and wear black converse sneakers to be emo.

um....you wouldn't happen to have written that exact same letter to blunt magazine would you?

[GreenDay-Idiot]

I hate this magazines but I buy them if they have posters of my favorite bands or I might just ask a friends if she has a magazine with a poster she doesn't want

[lazarus]

This threat reminds me of such bands as "Busted" and "McFly" :/ Very much over hyped shitty bands.

[Jillie Boe.]

Yeah, I think so. Check their website.

It's a great mag.

It's crap :/

[IWantToBeOnTV]

On the up side people buying these magazines might get into green day, even if it is initially because Billie is like so hot or whatever, and then that will lead them into other great music. And ultimately away from the intelectually insulting content of those mags. At least that's what I would like to believe.

[Irizzle]

I only buy them these days for Green Day stuff.

[spark in the night]

I went to get coughdrops the other day at Wallgreens and I stumbled upon a Tiger Beat magazine. and I was furious! I was looking through the pages and on every other page was Billie Joe. I luv Billie! I luv Billie! Boulevard of Broken Dreams! I luv Billie!

demon magazine. I wanted to burn it.

he was also on the cover of J-14.

oh hellz no.

clickity click click

Teen mags just capitalize on whatever's hot. Nothing is sacred to them.

I was in Wal-Mart the other day, and I saw a stupid magazine (like bop or m) that had Billie Joe's picture on the front. It said something about his "inner feelings" and "are you girlfriend material?" First off, Billie Joe is married, and has been since 1994. Second off, I highly doubt he'd date a 14-year-old girl anyway. So if you wanna get a magazine that is worth your money, buy somehing like Kerrang! or Rolling Stone. There was a great article in Rolling Stone about Billie Joe last summer, I think. It was a real, non-girly article. I'm a girl and I can't stand those magazines. Grr, they're so fucking dumb!!!!!!

[Kleptomaniac]

Ja, we know.

I just buy them only for the pictures of them and if I am lazy to buy I rip out the pictures and out the door I go.

[Pepsi and Coke]

I saw a Barbie magazine with Billie Joe on the front once. I just laughed hysterically.

[Belinda]

Those sorts of magazines rot your brain permantly.

[Amanda]

*looks at your sig and laughs hysterically*

[RageAndLove!]

just buy them for gd otherwise they're crap

[Belinda]

They're a waste of money, my sister buys those sorts of magazines. Sometimes they're good for a laugh.

[Cassie.]

i only buy them if they have something interesting in them like a cool poster or something but that is pretty rare

[green misfit 666]

I only buy them once in a while or I'll just steel GD pictures

[Belinda]

ha, ha I wouldn't buy em, the money goes towards the magazine so they can publish more crap.

[Milan.]

well i only buy them for pics of bands i know... or steal them yes its wrong buts its cheaper

[im the daughter of rage and love]

yea it's kinda funny to see a band like green day on on magazines like that. i was in CVS the other day walking past the magazine rack and i was like "wait...is that...no...that can't be billie joe!!! can it?!" so i walked over there and yea...it was. and then on a different magazine right beside it he was on that cover too. it was like a picture of him and it said something like LOOKING FOR LOVE? SEE IF YOU'VE GOT WHAT IT TAKES!! i was all like don't these retards know he's married? and then on the other magazine it was like BILLIE JOE GOT SPIT ON? GROSS!! talking about way back when before people really knew much about them and he'd get spit on and get in fights and what not. but anyways...i really hate those magazines!!!
