basKTcase1000 Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 What do you think/say to people when they say to you 'Liking and being obsessed with Green Day is a Phase' ?
solongfromthestars Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 I think bad on them, they'll never have the amazing experiences I have because of Green Day.
Stormy Haze Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 Honestly I don't care, they obviously don't know me if they think that it's a phase.
.katie. Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 I don't think anyone has ever thought of me liking Green Day as a "phase" But if they did I probably wouldn't care too much. And is there not already a thread like this? Or something similar anyway..
The Snark Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 They're just idiots. Who cares if liking any band is a phase? At least during that time, you've found something to really love. And to anyone who has ever said it to me: 16 years is not a phase!!!
Ellenkc Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 They can think what they want, it doesn't really bother me.
aussiechocolate Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 Been liking them for years. I can tell you it's not a phase. Good music is a lifestyle not a phase.
Laura! Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 No one has ever said that to me. But if they did I wouldn't care, they'll find out sooner or later that it's not a phase.
Laurenn Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 The only people that think that, are the people who obviously dont know me too well.
clairex Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 I have been a fan for 15 years so would laugh if someone called it a phase!!
Blond-O-Sonic Shimmer Trap Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 I go through phases all the time when listening to music, like listening mainly to one band/genre for two weeks or so. Had my most recent "phase" being old school Green Day these last few weeks, found a few new great bootlegs, made some good playlists and discovering Kerplunk being such a better album when you make the Sweet Children EP a separate album in iTunes. But yeah there are definitely people who listen to them as a phase, I would say they probably introduce more 12 year olds to decent music than any other band and many of them grow out of it and later use the tired sellout argument or decide their music taste is too "cool" for them etc. These people aren't worthy of my time, I hate when people only listen to stuff they think is cool and so avoid popular stuff like pop, hip-hop or mainstream bands like Green Day for bullshit reasons. I was just discovering good music when I started listening to them at 12 but now my music taste is much more varied than the mainstream rock I listened to then like Nirvana, Guns N Roses, Muse etc, I don't listen to them as much but when I feel like listening to them as I have the last few weeks they're still as awesome as ever.
euphoric-pareidolias Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 i'd ignore them cos they obviously wouldnt understand...that or say "well if it is a phase im gonna enjoy it" live in the here and now as you never know what will happen
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 They can go ahead and call it a phase. I'm not bothered by it, and if anything it just means they are missing out on the great things this "phase" is giving me. While I personally don't think it's a phase, I can't tell anyone including myself it's not a phase; I don't know what I'm going to like in the future, but even if it is a phase, I'm hella enjoying it and plan to make it last long. Maybe the "obsessed"/following them this closely thing is a phase, it probably is, but I do think that I'll like them for a long time. Soo... not bothered by it
aussiechocolate Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 I have been a fan for 15 years so would laugh if someone called it a phase!! exactly. 10+ years if not a phase.
Holly Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 People have told me quite a lot that I'm stuck in a twelve year old's Green Day phase that you're meant to quickly get over and move onto 'real music', I tell them that if its a phase I'm glad its one I never grew out of and that after 6 years I am certain I never will. Depending on who it is, I usually then tell them I feel sorry for them that they can't experience how I feel about Green Day. Poor sods. I got into Green Day when I was twelve and I thought they were absolutely amazing - but they just mean so much more to me now on a completely different level. I've changed completely, parts of my personality and my beliefs are totally different now, yet my love for Green Day only gets stronger and I know that however much my life changes in the future this band are never going to stop meaning the world to me.

Beathe. Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 I've liked them since I was a kid, so that would just have been a lame thing to say.
Vaso.Of.Suburbia Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 I don't really care. They think that music is just sound. But I know that music is emotions, music is what feelings sound like, music is beauty, music is love, music is passion, music is air, music is life, music is EVERYTHING! A day without music is like a day without air. Impossible. And a day without Green Day is a day with no passion for life. A wasted day...
Annie, get your gun Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 Nobody ever said that to me. They know that they shouldn't mess with something I like, especially if it's Green Day of what are we talking about. My family barely knows about them, I think that they doesn't like at all, but I don't give a shit, y'know? Everybody has their own taste in music, so they have to respect me for that... or I'll kick their fucking asses.
Harriet Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 My mum said it to me at first, a lot of my family did. I think my mum sort of gets it now though, it's been 6 years and I'm not growing out of them anytime soon
