Acadia Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 okay, yeah, i didn't have a title for it so i gave it that one.anyway, has any Green Day song lost it's meaning for you? or, when you get that feeling inside when you like a song A LOT, you play it over and over, and you loose the feeling to want to listen to it? i kind of have that for Holiday and American Idiot at the moment. Holiday, after you've listened to it on the radio, in your CD player, in the car CD player, you get BORED of it. Same with American Idiot. has that ever happened to you?and if this thread has been done before, you don't have to inform me, just close it down right away. it saves me stress.
nicoleah Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 Yeah. Wake Me Up When September Ends kind of lost it's meaning. The first time I listened to it on my CD player it had this special, raw emotion. Then I heard it a few too many times on the radio. Then, they came out with the music video for it. It kind of ruined the meaning of the song's original intentions. A tribute to Billie's father. Usually if I abstain from listening to a song for a while, and then listen to it a while later, the original feelings and my interpretation of the song comes back.

HelloStarshine_ Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 Nothing really lost meaning for me... some songs just didn't have the same purpose. My interpitations have changed (some make no sense. Like I can relate Boulevard of Broken dreams to masturbation)
CaesarSalad Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 I screamed when I saw this topic title.But no. Except for maybe When I Come Around, because I've heard it tons of times, even before I became a Green Day fan.
HelloStarshine_ Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 Also after a song like that is on Kidz Bop it is officaly lost it's true meaning.I almost died. They did Boulevard, too. (and after what I just said about my interpetation of it.... *shudder*)
Guest Quietus Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 Just WMUWSE. It wasn't the radio whoring it out - or I would've felt that way about AI, Holiday, BOBD, Basket Case, and Good Riddance - all raido whored sufficiently. It was the video. That thing was a fucking massacre. It just killed it brutally. Talk about beating a dead horse.
Freyja Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 yeah i kinda agree with you on Holiday, it's was so overplayed EVERYWERE that it isn't as special as it used to be to me........but it's also my fault, i listened to it wayyy to much, i guess :/ I'm really happy i was working all summer in a place, where you couldn't get any tv or radio stations so i missed WMOWSE and BOBD being raped by the world
nicoleah Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 Kidz Bop sucks.Well, they probably only choose WMUWSE because it didn't have any cussing or challenging topics. But really, don't 9 year olds buy kidz bop?edit: they did boulevard too? that is like..mockery
Jannan Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 Well, they probably only choose WMUWSE because it didn't have any cussing or challenging topics. But really, don't 9 year olds buy kidz bop?edit: they did boulevard too? that is like..mockeryYes.9 year-olds do buy it.And that's it.Hey, do I know you from the GDA chat room?
Anna A Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 I thought BOBD was the coolest song on the planet when I first heard it and WMUWSE had this really deep, emotionally raw meaning to me (before and after I knew what it was about) but the radio and music stations playing the shit out of the song and video just made me hate it. I can't say the same about Holiday...I sort of learned my lesson after seeing the first two (as Clover put it) "whored out" on the radio / TV.
CaesarSalad Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 For you who are saying Kidz Bop ruined it, I ask how!?It's not like you were forced to buy the cd. It doesn't have to stop you from liking the song.
all_i_know_is_that_i_dont_know Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 I have to agree with you on WMUWSE...it is still a great song...but in a lot of ways, does not appear to be the same song i first heard...Anyways, I used to listen to Tight Wad Hill 24/7. Well, not acutlly, but you get what i mean. I would sing it, hum it, play the air guitair and pencil drums to it...you name it. I even called one of my paintings at school Tight Wad Hill, and it was an elephant...>_>...So anyways, the day I get Nirvana's c.d. Nevermind, I become obsessed with Lounge Act. The song became my new Tight Wad Hill. Anyways, i kinda lost the excitement I used to get when i listened to that song...and the more i think about it...the more i wonder if it was really there...<---My half-assed poetic self...-_-
TotalBasketCase13 Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 WMUWSE kind of lost it's meaning for me. It's one of the only songs that has ever made me cry because of all the emotion that it conveys, but after hearing it so many times on the radio and seeing the video it kind of lost its power.
ifmemoryserves Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 I think almost all the songs on American Idiot lost their meanings for me. After listening to a song 18,000,000,000,000 times in the car and on my iPod and on the radio and on TV, a song sort of loses it's appeal... :/
Guest Holden Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 I never even heard the kidz bop versions, so i honestly dont care about those. Green Day songs dont really have that much meaning to me, only a couple of the slower ones (not BOBD and WMUWSE).. some of the better slower ones, and no, those havent lost meaning to me, I still think of the same person, and i still feel the same way.
Acadia Posted March 5, 2006 Author Posted March 5, 2006 WMUWSE kind of lost it's meaning for me. It's one of the only songs that has ever made me cry because of all the emotion that it conveys, but after hearing it so many times on the radio and seeing the video it kind of lost its power.the video seriously fucked it up. it has nothing to do with the war in iraq. what was the dipshit who made it thinking exactly? i mean, everyone said that 'it was sooooo sweet!' yeah, sweet my ass.
darkhriss Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 neah...I listen American Idiot since last year almost every day and I'm not bored yet

It doesn't have to stop you from liking the song.When the song got to the level of being legit enough for 10 and 11 year olds to dance and sing to it over a guy mourning his dead father, that's what gave me a bad feeling about it. And no, we aren't being forced to listen to it, but just simply having the knowledge alone is enough. And I had never said I didn't like the song, don't get me wrong, I love that song, but to me it was getting butchered.
Guest Quietus Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 Seriously, just avoid the radio. It solves the problem.

And I had never said I didn't like the song, don't get me wrong, I love that song, but to me it was getting butchered.It didn't seem to affect me. Maybe you guys think that because a 10 year old can sing along to a song, people get sick of it? Sure it was butchered, but ignorance is bliss.

I cannot sit infront of the t.v. and watch all that mushy stuff for 7 minutes...I get annoyed. I usually tune in around the end to see Tre fall off the drum stand...
