Valkin Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 This made me chuckle a little, apparently Green Day are classed as Emo and they helped kill the trend (Yay?) Here is the site where i came across it"#4Green Day That's right, the punk band which released such classic albums as 'Dookie' and 'Insomniac'. The band has played a large role in Punk within the mainstream, since the bands formation in the mid 1980s. They generally held a typical punk sound developing a slight pop-punk feel in the 90s.In 2004 the band released the album 'American Idiot', and while Green Day was in no way new to the mainstream media and being played on MTV this time it was different. The band downed their very laid back look and went for a very 'emo' look, with constrasting red and black suits (Popular among third wave emo culture), and eye liner which had also become common practice within the emo genre.Once again as with P!ATD, Green Day released their album in a time where there was plenty of confusion among fans and critics alike as to exactly what was emo and what wasn't. And since Green Day now carried the emo look, plenty of the critics were convinced Green Day had turned into an emo band. And thus young Green Day fans spread further into the emo culture and they had done their part to spread misconception."
Lauren Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 Oh yeah. They're so totally "emo". Whatever that is.
Guest Shangri-La Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 "emotive hardcore," and no. Green Day are not that.
Sharmellow Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 lol, that's humorous. I can't believe people still think that. God, won't people just give it a rest?
Sanity Loan Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 wait i thought they werent emo. Who fucking cares?!And when I first read the title of the thread I thought it said "Green Day Killed Elmo!" hahaa
The Disappearing Boy Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 you can see why people call them emo. what with the eyeliner, and songs about 'being alone' and everyone hating you, not caring about the world.
That Hives Fan Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 this might be one of the stupidest things ive seen posted today GD is not emo and this really doesnt have to be a thread
Valkin Posted October 31, 2009 Author Posted October 31, 2009 this might be one of the stupidest things ive seen posted today GD is not emo and this really doesnt have to be a threadJust abit of comedy
Alan86 Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 Green Day are a (Punk) rock band, and that is it. Best rock band on the planet at that
Jaymee!! Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAOh God, that made my night.
Supermodel*Robot Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 I always got called emo for being a big Green Day fan. In fact, I was told many times, unjokingly, to go kill myself or crawl in a hole and die.I find it ridiculous how people can misinterpret a word. People thought Green Day was emo & since I listened to them & AC/DC, then AC/DC must be emo too, right? I wanted to smack the girl that told me to stop listening to my emo AC/DC. It's such a stupid word. Emo.
Tiffx Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 Emo is a load of bullshit. Oh and God forbid a band becomes successful.
Angela. Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 That was pretty funny, I can't lie. But Emo is such a pointless, stupid word.Oh, and I kept reading the thread title as, "Green Day Killed Elmo."
Sarahnade. Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.Thanks for posting. That was amusing.
watsername182 Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 Hehe, I think I remember Smash Hits calling the band "emo-punk" once.Now that magazine is no longer in print.
Chelsea Hotel Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 That was pretty funny, I can't lie. But Emo is such a pointless, stupid word.Oh, and I kept reading the thread title as, "Green Day Killed Elmo."LOL FOREVER.Green Day killed emo, and I for one am happier for it.
Tiffx Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 wait...Emo still exists?No Green Day killed it by making good music. Something that is not quite understood in emo land.
xVanessa86x Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 The day Green Day is emo is the day that I fall in love with the Jonas Brothers, country music and rap music... which will never happen.People are so stupid -_- Did they ever think, wow!, people are different!? Last time I checked Green Day has always been punk not emo.In 2006, I used to be called emo too for liking Green Day. You know what? If Green Day were emo, well I'm pretty fucking proud they killed the trend.
Reject-All-American Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 wait...Emo still exists?This. I thought Emo was changed to scene now with like brightly colored tutus and shit. LOL but yeah this is quite ridiculous. Emo is a stereotype and i guess a music genre? I dont know and i dont care, Green Day isnt either one. But im not going to argue about this, its funny how dumb it is haha. I read this fast and it looked like GREEN DAY KILLED ELMO so im just going to pretend that is what its about.
