Are Green Day Punk?


Fuzz

Recommended Posts

This quote was taken from the forums on Ultimate Guitar so that they can't be posted in the Punk Forum anymore. :down: Do you agree with this? Is Green Day no longer Punk. I tthink they are punk.... :mad:

"Green Day are NOT punk

Got it?

Green Day threads in this forum will result in warnings from now... if you can't be bothered to read, I can't be bothered to go easy on you.

GO TO THE POP-PUNK FORUM.

I couldn't care less who thinks they are and who thinks they're not, and this ain't an attack on their music (hell, I enjoy their early stuff, but I can't stand their fans)... it's a simple statement on how these forums work. So remember it.

Same goes for Blink 182, Good Charlotte, Simple Plan... bah, just go to the punk bands list before posting."

If you want the living document of that pain, it’s called Insomniac, and it echoed down the years till it was amplified again in American Idiot.

Possibly my favourite bit. Amen to that.

They think because they have spikes on, his leather

That their the punkest, they think they are better!

they walk around with their nose in the air

The only thing bigger than their ego is their image

they think that uniform they are wearing

Is a good excuse for his snobby glaring.

Green Day Destroyed The Punk Scene

they think that uniform their wearing...

Makes them a punk, yeah!

Green Day Destroyed The Punk Scene

I don't know when punk became a uniform

I always thought uniforms were for the army

But I guess they got punk rock hair

their paid a fortune for their gear, yeah!

Green Day Destroyed The Punk Scene

If this ignorance continues punk will

be lost on the book shelves

Green Day Destroyed The Punk Scene

They think that uniform they are wearing...

Green Day is punk. I sure as hell can't think of a better punk band in the world then them. (My english sux)

I wouldn't say punk, but id sure as hell say they have given their all in the music business and have certainly made an impact not unlike the Sex Pistols in the 70s, I don't believe in this "punk" shit tbh, I can't see what good it did, if Green Day were "punk" they'd be dead by now.

i think people get punk, and punk-rock mixed up too much.

no, theyre not punk-rock. theyre actually incredibly good at making music.. theyre rock n roll.

are they punk? hell yes. im not talking about how they dress, spike their hair, whatever. thats got nothing to do with punk.

you know what i always also found funny.. how alot of 'punks' are so against being popular, signed to a major label, etc.

yet im sure every goddamn one of them loves the clash.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT LABEL THEY WERE SIGNED TOO?! idiots.

According to one of my magazines Mike has said that they played punk from the beginning

but that a lot of things has changed over the years and that they are more rock now..
