Gregorovich Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 I'd put Green Day into 4 'eras' - the formation years (ie. until after Dookie), the 'Old-School' years (ie. until American Idiot), the 'Rock-Opera' years (ie. American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown), and 'New-School' years (the Trilogy and likely succeeding works). Of these four eras, I prefer the third.
Guest Just Another Joe Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Old Green Day! So many things about them back then were great. Their ethics, their style, the places they placed, hell even their look was good. Insomniac and Dooke are my favorites currently.
Clean Cut Asshole Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 I pretty much like everything Green Day did except 21CB and the trilogy. American Idiot was a good album, though it had a few weak points, but it also had some highlights of Green Day's career in my opinion! And I agree with Just Another Joe above, Dookie and Insomniac are my favorite GD albums!
.................... Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Both. Oh wait, except for the trilogy.
John the X-Kid Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 there is no old school or new school, theres just... Green Day
Clayish Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 There's nothing more annoying to hear the classic "I miss old Green Day" comment. Every single Green Day album has a had a pretty significant change in vibe, lyrics, and overall music (instrumentation is the key here). Therefore, I really don't have an answer to this question. Gotta love Green Day for being easily the most progressive pop-punk band out there.
GenesisJames Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 I honestly don't like the way you worded this question. I think it should be "New Style of Green Day Music or Old Style of Green Day Music?". Green Day themselves hasn't changed, just their style of music has. I'm not into the whole "New Band/ Old Band" scene at all, actually. I like what I like; I don't care if it's old or new. Granted, I do tend to like their newer stuff more (American Idiot, 21st Century Breakdown, and Warning being my favorite GD albums), but I don't judge by sound style or the age of the band and their music. As long as they are happy with their music and are doing it purely because they want to, I could care less about "new or old Green Day".
DannyDirnt Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 I like both but if I have to pick a side that's undoubtfully old school. I honestly don't like the way you worded this question. I think it should be "New Style of Green Day Music or Old Style of Green Day Music?". Green Day themselves hasn't changed, just their style of music has. They have also changed. They were crazier in the 90s, while they are way more mature and calm now. They're still fun and amazing but they sure are somewhat less weird.
LazyPhil Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 I think it depends, sometimes I wanna listen to old school punk rock and sometimes to new school
TheJedi Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 you can't really just say "new Green Day"and "old Green Day" because every album is different. if you with old Green Day for example mean 1039 to Warning, they're ALL so different, same with American Idiot to Tré... I honestly think all their albums are great, though i don't like the trilogy as much as their other albums, even though i love some of the songs on those too. my favorite albums changes between all albums from 1039 to 21stCB.. so yeah, i just like Green Day x)

I just like Green Day too
MaterialDiamond Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Can't we just choose both? I loved them before & I still love them just as much.
Strayheart1219 Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 I enjoy all eras of green day. Not because i'm 'obsessed' not because 'I only like their music because the band mates are hot' but because their music is fucking great!! Fuck me right?
Clockwise Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Always new. But to be clear, I don't think there should be a distinction between old and new, they're just Green Day. Always have been, and always will.
MaraGreenDay Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 I like Green Day. OMG i love the picture in your signature, is a video or something????

AndrewW91 Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 All. I'm a Green Day fan. Not an "old school Green Day fan" or "new school Green Day fan".
MaraGreenDay Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YUgX5H6LilE At about 3:29 OMG thank you so much!!!!!
stories and songs Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 I love Green Day's music. Period. There style has changed throughout they years, but they always make amazing music that fits my taste. One of the many cool things about Green Day is that they are always trying new things and pushing themselves, and I love that.
musso_kn Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 I've seen this question far too many times on various places across the internet. It's almost depressing to see it alive and well on GDC.
