Are We Losing Green Day Fans To More Youthfull Punk Bands?

[Jillie Boe.]

HIM are punk? Since when?...

MCR aren't punk, they were influenced by it... They sing about fucking vampires for god sakes, how is that punk?

Well they’re a theatrical band, that’s why they use all that metaphor stuff. Which is partly to do with Iron Maiden.

[Beathe.]

No shit. "In love with all of these vampires".

And I should know the titles to their songs because...?

[JakeyBoy]

No shit. "In love with all of these vampires".

And their first two albums were about Vampires taking over some town.. Hardly "punk"

^ It's not a song, it's a lyric.

Edit: To Beathe.

Why should I know their lyrics..?

[monkeyman]

i used to listen to GD all the time when i discovered all their albums almost all at once and went on a spending spree... but now i diversify a bit and listen to other stuff such as The Living End and Nine Inch Nails, but overall GD are still my favourite band

as someone said earlier, people might seem to go off green day now, but when they bring out their new album they are going to be fucking massive...

[waitingunknown]

What is there to explain?

I think everyone is confused whos Punk, whos emo>sreamo>heavy metal >goth

No they weren't :/

[JakeyBoy]

No it wasn't :/

Uhh, yes it was..

How can there be a confusion between screamo?

[Jillie Boe.]

Uhh, yes it was..

Look up "metaphor"

[bat-chen]

I'm listen to other bands but I still fan of Green Day and I prefer listen to Green Day than MCR, FOB and specially Panic At the disco.

[waitingunknown]

Uhh, yes it was..

LOL yeah i thought id throw that in

[JakeyBoy]

Look up “metaphor”

Yes, they use metaphors.. BUT.. Bullets and Revenge were concept albums about the Demolition Lovers.. Town was over-run by vampires.. One gets shot... and I'm sure you know the story..

[Jillie Boe.]

Revenge wasn't a concept album, it wasn't meant to be anyway. Besides, what you just said is still metaphoric.

It was a continuation off Bullets! Gawsh!

Anyway, enough about MCR

Green Day need to bring out something new if they don't want to lose fans.. it's their fault..

It was not :/

Anyway, I've lost interested in Green Day. I mean, their music just doesn't do much for me anymore. I might start listening to them when their new album comes out, but for now I'm taking a break. Plus I'm a little put off by their recent attitude, and how they keep promoting themselves.

[waitingunknown]

Can I just add that as this forum goes on Ppl are starting to admit that they are losing a little interest in GD,also going through the forum how many chats are dedicated to other bands?

You can like other bands even if you like Green Day.

[klytaemnestra]

also going through the forum how many chats are dedicated to other bands?

Quite a few.

I feel the same way with everything you said.

[waitingunknown]

YOu Know whenI started this topic I thought I would be bombarded with abuse and ppl defending GD i know if i had read it i would of defended GD and argued the point to the max that GD are GODS with the O an S missing.

I will defend GD till the end, but people ARE allowed to like other bands you know.

Im not saying that im just saying that its all blaise

It stands to reason that the vast majority of people's musical tastes will extend a little further than just one band. I doubt that there are many people who listen to just one artist/band exclusively for their entire lives, that would actually be kinda weird when you think about it.

Yes, there's been a little break after the massive tour and promotion surrounding American Idiot and before the release of the forthcoming album, and during that time many fans will use other bands as distractions till the new material appears.

But that doesn't mean those fans are lost, it just means that they are human and not going to sit around twiddling their thumbs waiting for the new album but instead focusing their attention on new music till it actually arrives and probably still listening to the existing GD songs in the meanwhile too.
