Do all of you realize that you can say Green Day isn't punk yet still think they are a great band?

Just because they aren't punk doesn't mean they suck, they just aren't punk.

I think a lot of people say that Green Day sold out because it is the cool thing to do at the moment.

This article is mainly about The offspring but I think this quote is interesting.

He would see these kids come in and buy Dookie and Smash,” Noodles explains. “A couple months later they’d buy Mr. T Experience, Op Ivy and NOFX and Pennywise. Three months later, they were coming in and getting Crass and Adolescents and Dead Kennedys. He’d remark ‘I remember just a couple months ago, you bought Green Day and Offspring.’ They’d be ‘Fuck Green Day! Fuck Offspring! Those guys are sellouts!’ Then again, our band and Green Day, all the bands who were coming up in that scene have definitely tried to give credit where credit is due and credit those bands that came before us and inspired us to do what it is we do.”

I don't care if Green Day are punk or not because I don't like a band because they are punk, I like a band because I like the music.

Does it really matter if Green Day is punk or not?

This debate is as redundant as a condom with a hole in it, it will never be resolved, and i dont really care.

but for me, green day aren't punk.

Posted

As long as they make great music, I don't give two shits if they're punk or not.

That was even better to read a second time, Angeline. :)

Who care's how 'punk' they are? They're still fantabulous.

Punk is a state of mind, so there's no way to really judge

I second that :wink:

I second that :wink:

Thanx so much for reading, Patricia - and Cheryl too! :)

And this matters because...?

Yeah, Green Day make punk music sometimes.

They also make rock, pop, bits of ska, some acoustic.

They have punk in mind at all times, that I believe.

They're just pushing the boundaries of what they should do. Just because they are able to make two minute thrash songs, doesn't mean they have to spend twenty odd years making two minute thrash songs and only two minute thrash songs.

Posted

no there not.

Posted

I dont give a shit.

Posted

the reason green day are great is cos they can write awt and make it brilliant...

Punk died with The Clash, but it was terminally ill since Sid Vicious died.

And Green Day aren't punk. Sure, they were at the start, but it soon changed into punk-rock.

Posted

i love their music, i don´t care if it´s punk, pop or rock or whatever..

Posted

Yeah, they're the typical rich rock star. Coke parties, mansions, always in the tabloid scandal pages. :dry:

And if they kept stopping to keep everyone updated, the album wouldn't be out until 2010. Besides, what's to be updated on except 'they're working on a new album'?
