Kayfabe Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 I realised that I've made everyone in my class hate green day :/ apart from my friends who are awesome and give them a chance, unlike everyone else that claims to know GD is shit 'because they heard american idiot one time'.FUCK. Peace.
Nele Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 There's a guy in my class and whenever we talk about music, and I say I'm not a fan of a band/artist he likes he automatically responds: "Yeah, well Green Day are shit"Same here, problem is that it's basically the standard response for everything I say. I mean, ok, you don't like them I get it but don't use GD as an insult against me it gets annoying after a while.
billie-joe-geek72 Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 on a facebook status:peed off how greenday are ahead of foo fighters in bands of the decade? wtf!!!pfft greenday eh? It's two words people c'mon!haha "greenday". i dont understand how how they're huge all over the world and people still dont spell it right
Penguin Puffball Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 Nobody really gives me any shit for liking Green Day because 1) most kids are cool with them and 2) everyone's afraid I'll kick their ass if they say anything to me.The only person that really says anything about them to me anymore is the guy who sits behind me in science. He says the typical "they suck" and blah blah blah. And he constantly tries to tell me that Green Day is breaking up and that this'll be their last album. A few days ago he was like "the drummer's going solo and is gonna do like a Travis Barker thing". I don't really mind cuz he just likes messing with me. I'll just turn around and be like "I think I'd know that long before you would if that were true."
dolce Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 You know - thank goodness for places like GDC. It gets increasingly aggravating when I can't talk to my "friends" about my absolute favorite thing in the world. Of course, when they go on and on for the entire lunch period every day about their personal drama and tell me how they only like the "underground bands that you probably haven't heard of" - they don't think twice about it. When I try to talk about Green Day, they roll their eyes and either put me down or cut me off to change the subject.
Lucky_Ducky Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 My "best friend" always slags me for liking Green Day and going to their concert. She always said how she could tell me anything, but I couldn't even express my taste in music without her completely ripping the piss Most people I've encountered are cool with Green Day, the people I expected stick from kept telling me how cool it was that I was at the concert
Mellyboots Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 Same here, problem is that it's basically the standard response for everything I say. I mean, ok, you don't like them I get it but don't use GD as an insult against me it gets annoying after a while.It's annoying straight from the start. The thing is I don't even insult the music he likes, I just say I don't like it so he gets all defensive and starts with the Green Day bashing. Yeah, he's starting to use it as a response to other things too...I just ignore him though so maybe he'll get over it soon enough.
Rosie May Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 I feel sad that fans r turning against Billie Joe because he's married and they're saying being a female fan of BJ isn't worth it because they keep getting picked on. I say who cares, he's great and makes great music and GD is awesome. U should not let people influence how u think. quitting being a fan because someone insults u is just stupid. I get picked on all the time and I stand my ground or just ignore it. I hope this isn't the reason they're losing some votes.Are you on about those people on the GDA comments lately? They really annoy me too, I think it's so frustrating because they claim to be fans but yet all they do is complain about the band. I mean, if their that fickle that they can let somthing like a comment in one article that they can't even interpert properly, then well, I wonder how much they were a fan to begin with? That's why I'm so glad we have GDC, everybody's a lot less irritating. Sorry, I just had to vent...
Elissa. Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 My brother has this "Desktop Destroyer" thing on his computer, so just to annoy me, he set a pic of Tre for his wallpaper, then used his desktop destroyer to smash it with a virtual hammer

Elissa. Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Yeah, there was a "repair" button, but he continued to beat Tre....
Rosie May Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Yeah, there was a "repair" button, but he continued to beat Tre.... Aww I've never heard of that desktop destroyer thing before.

GreenDay-girl Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Yeah I am obssesed with them too, but I think that all the people who know me already got used to it. I can see what they think about me just by the looks on their faces, but I don't give a shit about that. I will never get over Green Day, because I love them to much Yeah I am obssesed with them too, but I think that all the people who know me already got used to it. I can see what they think about me just by the looks on their faces, but I don't give a shit about that. I will never get over Green Day, because I love them to much and nothing in this world can ever meke me love them less
DistilledxSpirits Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 I had some guy bashing me for liking GD on Facebook the other day.I told him to F.O.D. and deleted him from my friends list.

That's why I'm so glad we have GDC, everybody's a lot less irritating. Sorry, I just had to vent... What have people been saying in the comments? I don't usually read them. Maybe they're trolls that are too dumb to figure out how to register to the message board, so they just say bad things in the comments section. EDIT: Ugh, just read some of the comments. How disgusting. WTF is with the "hating Billie because he has a family" thing? Him having a wife and kids is not a new development, lol. My favorite comment (sarcasm) was when a guy said "Girls don't love Billie because he's a family man, they love him because he's the bad boy of rock n roll". That was LOL worthy to me. The "bad boy" thing is something many girls find attractive. Agree with him there. However - him being a good person (good dad, good husband) and an amazing musician are the things that are FAR more fascinating and likable about him, at least to me. If he were just another rockstar who banged a different chick every night, guess what - he wouldn't be him. That's NEVER been him, and that's not what people who know or care about him at all would want for him.

dolce Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 ^ Totally agree and I love that about him, too. I really don't understand what kind of fault there is in being a good husband and father in addition to a fantastic musician, but whatever. Some people just want to nit-pick at the band for the heck of it.

Some people just want to nit-pick at the band for the heck of it.i really don't understand why there seems to be so much hate towards them. it's like sometimes when i tell people that green day is my favorite band they give me this attitude like it's "soooo uncool" or something. i feel like it was cool to like green day when dookie came out, and it was cool to like them when american idiot came out, but now some people just feel the need to constantly say bad things about them.
dolce Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 IMO the fans who stick around regardless of how popular the band's albums turn out to be are the cool ones. The people who just liked Green Day when they had super popular albums didn't actually like Green Day. They just like being super popular, so they therefore pretend to have an interest in super popular products, movies, books, bands...

For some reason, I decided to take a look at the last few comment threads yesterday and today. Please tell me those commenters are not on GDC!
DistilledxSpirits Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Oh shit I forgot;About 6 months ago, this moderator was being a total asshole to me on a forum and was having a massive go at me for being a Green Day fan. I would copy exactly what she posted but my IP address has been banned so I can't go on that site anymore lol, but the one thing that stuck with me was:"You can hope, wish and pray all you want, but Billie Joe will never make any acknowledgment of your existence." I wasn't gonna lie down and take her shit so of course I snapped back and ended up getting my account banned.So anyway as soon as I got back from the GD shows I went to in December, I went back on the forum, made a spam account on it and sent her a private message saying;"Hey remember me? You should. I seem to recall you saying this too me a little while ago [insert quote of what she'd said]Well I thought you should watch this..." and I gave her the link to the video of Billie Joe demanding my devil horns during one the shows. Under that I posted a link to a picture and wrote "Oh and you see this? It's called a pick. Given to me by Mike Dirnt. UP YOURS YOU UGLY C*NT!!!!"God I felt so good afterwards... it was totally worth getting IP banned for.

Why do people care so much about the fan girls. And where the hell did Adrienne come into the picture? All of a sudden they were bashing her!! sorry about this comment, but it made me really angry
