Jesusatejamie Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 Hmm.. I'm not sure about thisSometimes I think it's great but sometimes (mainly when I see GD socks) I feel that they have indeed sold out.. On the popularity scale, I see them about 6/10.. ten being like, popularest.. .. mainly because the other 4 are into rap and shit.. sadly, some of the 6 are teenie boppers.. so out of the 6, 4 are teenies and 3 are people like us.. so like... yeah4 add 3 is 7.So if it was 4% teenies and 3% us, then how could it only be 6% popular? :whistling:

Nedra Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 I think they're becoming more un-popular again, now that AI has come and gone. Most people have moved on to the new bands.

Jesusatejamie Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 Well, I was typing that fast and I have failed every single maths test in my life so... can we let this one slide? Hehe, I suck at maths myself, but I feel somewhat proud.I'll let it slide, just this once though!

farley drexel hatcher Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 I think it's because with AI, they were huge, so huge that to a lot of people they were a phase. A lot of those people will like a band while they're famous and then move on to the next thing. But i think between real fans they're still pretty popular, i mean, they always were popular. Up until a few years i had no clue whatsoever about music but i knew who green day were, even before i ever got into them. I think a lot of peoplearound here still seem into them.

So like, they are always "popular" but in a special sorta way
mechanicalman Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 Yeah sameI used to hate music, but always used to hum Minority and always have known Good Riddance... So like, they are always "popular" but in a special sorta way You make a lotta sense. Legend.
JakeyBoy Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 You make a lotta sense. Legend. Well I'm a legendary sense sorta guy..
mechanicalman Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 Well I'm a legendary sense sorta guy.. Yes you are. I just had a thought. Green Day are more popular in USA than here.
JakeyBoy Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 Yes you are. I just had a thought. Green Day are more popular in USA than here.Where is "here" for you anyway?..
mechanicalman Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 Where is "here" for you anyway?..England. Better than Austarlia not.
Trotsky Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 Green Day is probably one of the most popular artists that plays real music. Although I think with The Black Parade, My Chem will surpass them as the most mainstream rock band. But even GD and MCR don't compare to fucking pop-stars and rappers.

The Slider Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 Most of my friends don't like them- they say that Green Day is too commercial.
-King-For-a-Day- Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 my friend bought her 9 year old brother AI for his birthday, he now says Green Day are his favourite band Claire's Accessories have got Green Day stuff in there as well as Fall Out Boy and a Nirvana Wristband, but they sell stuff for like 5 year olds and upit makes Green Day more popular but with the wrong age group, dont you think?
mechanicalman Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 Most of my friends don't like them- they say that Green Day is too commercial.Someone I know called AI the most commercialised piece of shit ever.

Michelle7107 Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 I guess I'm one of those 'fans who came with AI but stayed and turned into real fans'But yeah on topic, Green Day isn't very popular anymore. No one I know likes them.. In fact they all say they hate them.It weird because, like you said, they keep winning all of these awards and I never see anyone that actually likes them...But yeah there were a lot of people only liked them because they were popular. Now that they're aren't so much anymore they've all moved on, and Green Day has lost a lot of 'fans'

Theres no age on taste.9 year olds probably don't understand the story of AI and what it means ect, but if they like the tune thats fine. You know, you don't have to understand a songs meaning to like it. And who knows, when this kids older he may understand and still love them. Claire's isn't for five year olds, its just a place to get earings, bracelets, wristbands ect, cheaply.
