petros Posted June 24, 2010 Posted June 24, 2010 I just say to them that if you think they are gay and sellouts why the fuck are you always talking about them?
Dry_Ice Posted June 24, 2010 Posted June 24, 2010 When I was in High School I got it all the time. Now that I'm in college people are different. They don't give a fuck. I know my friends don't really like them that much and we're all music majors. But that's only cause everyone's primarily into classical. But hey, i love it all... even out boys! So tell them to F O D
W Axl Rose Posted June 24, 2010 Posted June 24, 2010 The only time I get shit from people is when they say "How can you be an adult and listen to that "? I'm like I've been listening to Green Day since 1994, when I was in like 8th Grade. I love them now as much as ever. Oh then you have the idiots who say they aren't punk. Who gives a shit? They still write classic songs. Unlike some bands, GD still plays old shit from Kerplunk,1,039 live in concert and that rules too. I think I can identify with Holden Caulfield,JAR,Pasalqua etc. at any age.
green day blink 182 Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 lol i get bashed for liking Green Day everyday but fuck it i dont care theyre always the best band in the world and ill never be afraid 2 admit it!
DookieTheThird Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 In this situations I'm not getting nervous...I'm just showing them the middle finger and say F.O.D. They're my gods...why should I care about theyr opinions?
clairex Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 Well I am 28 and I have been a fan since I was 13. We didn't use the term emo, and if these people knew anything about Green Day they wouldn't be calling them Emo anyway, shows how much they know about music. When I was a teen a lot of people called Green Day lame or didn't know who they were, the few people who I knew that did like them now don't like them because they are to popular for them to consider cool. It is inverted snobbery, and the song walking contradiction is so true about Green Day. It is no big deal to me though. I am not influenced by what people like or don't like. I don't care if other people like Green Day or not. I brought their albums when they weren't as popular during the warning and shenanigans eras and brought the albums during the AI and 21st eras.
Marlee Posted June 26, 2010 Posted June 26, 2010 Yeah, i do get an occasional comment bashing Green Day. I used to get very mad (sometimes, it's wasn't just Green day comments, but you get the point) Someone told me that i was really no better than they were, when i acted that way. It really made me think, and I have not gotten into a fight for years. It was really annoying tho, because most of those people listened to rap.....i used to tell them off when they would bash what i liked, but i have stopped.
fadi_7 Posted June 26, 2010 Posted June 26, 2010 all my friends hates green day but when they asks me why and all these stuff i make them eat my shit cause they don't know anything about rock or green day ......and they have there opinion but i don't respect it... cause this opinion is against green day with hard things .....and it doesn't matter what do they say i still love green day now and for ever . all of you should do that and some of these things that green day have problems in their minds cause they say fuck America and all these stuff and my friends don't dare to do all green day things and this is the only thing that we don't have in common but when they say this i say believe me they are the only band who have a reason in life and think in the right way stay in love with green day for ever
Holly Posted June 26, 2010 Posted June 26, 2010 I've realised over the past week or two that I actually just feel sorry for all the people who don't understand how much I love this band. That means they don't have anyone/thing in their life that means as much to them as Green Day do to me, and that's just sad Doesn't make me not want to smack them when they constantly have a go at me for it though
PasalacquaBomb Posted June 26, 2010 Posted June 26, 2010 A lot of people in my class and stuff don't like them. There are a few people who like them, but a lot who hate them. They always say stupid things when I come along with a bandshirt or so. It makes me quite angry but I don't really care. I just say 'fuck you' to them and then go away. Well I just shrug and say "Okay, I think your taste sucks. Your loss." The same.
Homicidal_llama Posted June 26, 2010 Posted June 26, 2010 I've met a lot of haters whenever I've worn a Green Day shirt but to be honest I don't care. Everyone's got their opinions on music, they probably like bands that I wouldn't mind bashing but I don't because I know how irritating it is!

Well, sometimes, if someone bashes me for liking them, I do like 'n what do ya like? slipknot? well, fuck it. it sucks.' It's like the only way to make them know how it feels.

Emery Posted June 26, 2010 Posted June 26, 2010 People get angry over things they don't understand. I've been called gay for liking Green Day. Even though that's true, I dunno what makes one gay for liking a band. All those so-called 'haters' can just go fuck themselves as far as I'm concerned. (:
dori711 Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 a peer told me that GD is emo (my nails were green and GD just came into our topics) i said: what? don't you think you aren't right? I love them to death and it's my business. I don't care if you don't like them but don't say things like that... then he shut up. he was listening to them, though... so it's interesting... an older story: i was walking on the street, about 3 years ago, a GD shirt on me, when i passed by some guys and they said: "GD is gay" i thought i was going to punch them but i had better walk away cause i didn't want to get into trouble in the main street...

Thing is, just because you automatically equate "emo" to "bad," that doesn't mean everybody else does. He could have meant it as a compliment for all you know. It...would be a very strange compliment, but still.
Icarus Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 My best friend used to be a Green Day Hater he always said things to me like "Oh Green Day is Shit·" "They're posers" etc. Now he cant stop playing Green Day Rock Band and ¿Viva la Gloria? has become his favorite song ever since(: Kind of funny how people hates Green Day Without knowing shit about them or their music...

It...would be a very strange compliment, but still. oh, no. haha. it'd be funny cause he doesn't like me... but who knows? i'll never ever understand men... And i didn't say emo is bad. nowadays it got a bad judgement or something like that. It depends on the point of view, though, i think.

Alllllli. Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 I think people 'bashing' other people for whatever they're into is a pretty high school thing... It used to happen to me a lot in high school, haha. My friend David was a little bit into Green Day before American Idiot and then he got really 'Oh my goshhhha Green Day aren't punx' and it was just a bit silly. 1. Do I care? and 2. You must really know 'punx' David, just because you listen to a little bit of Rancid. I don't get it at all anymore, anyway. A guy at work is occasionally like 'Oh that Green Day band is really gay' but that's because we're really good friends and he knows I like them and he does it because it's funny, not to be negative It sucks when people do it though, there's no need.
Guest Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 haha wellll. some of my friends jokingly give me shit for it all the time, but no one has ever seriously "bashed" me for it even thoughi love them to death and they've been my favorite band for six years and i have two green day tattoos but i don't walk around wearing green day tshirts everyday and i don't blast their music 24/7 which is probably why, it doesnt bother me anyway, i like them regardless of whether or not everyone else does.
Jenny95 Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 oh, no. haha. it'd be funny cause he doesn't like me... but who knows? i'll never ever understand men... And i didn't say emo is bad. nowadays it got a bad judgement or something like that. It depends on the point of view, though, i think. I guess many people think that every punk with black or dark hair has to be an emo ,some guys already called a friend of mine "emo ",who's definitely not punk or emo ,because she'd colered her hair to dark brown and they also don't like Green Day ,or better don't want to like it, cause when they listened a song of them they were like "nice song what's this ?" and when you say that it's Green Day it's suddenly the worst song they've ever heard But who cares ? They only listen to music ,or better not music ,like hip hop and everyone knows "that makes you stupid and ugly"
Mommy's Little Nightmare Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 I was pretty excited yesterday. Instead of being bashed for liking Green Day, I had a positive experience. I was in Subway, and I ordered my sub. I like my food pretty plain. Odd tastes and Fallyn do not mix. Anyway, the guy making the sub was like "You like it really plain, don't you?" I just shrugged and nodded. He was like "It's okay. You're wearing a Green Day shirt so you're forgiven." I just smirked and was like "Green Day make up for my offense?" And he was like "They make up for all offenses." I was a bit 'cause no randoms have really ever made an offhand comment to me about LIKING Green Day before.
germackpaccone Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 People don't really bash me anymore for liking Green Day, idk I guess it's just me.

(who knows, maybe we have a lot of common things) so, all in all: outfit is not the most important, i'd say.
