Is Green Day punk?

[isuckatthesethings]

Do you think Green Day is Punk?

I like Green Day and think Green Day is a punk band, but I hear often that Green Day is definitely not punk but power pop.

[Ashley!]

Green Day is Green Day.

[Brigister]

Who gives a rat's arse. Green Day is fucking awesome, that should be enough for you.

[Hedwig]

This discussion, again? Seriously?

[GeekStinkMe]

Create an own opinion... ?!

For me, they are punk. Some songs aren't real punk, but their aim, that is punk. ^^

I read this, then read the Y'know in your sig, and it just fit so perfectly.

[Sarcasm]

who the fuck cares?

I doubt they do.

[insomniaticnimrod]

Green Day is too cool for labels my friend

[Harry Potter.]

Well... It depends what you call punk. There are some songs that you just can't deny that are punk. Then there are some alt rock ones. But definately not power pop...

[GeekStinkMe]

i think green day created an own label in a way.. between punk, rock, pop. Including everything.. being awesome.

With a punk aim. like said. By me .. ^^

[Elena]

nope, they're not punk, they have their own genre: Green Day

[Fuzz]

Yes.

There you go. Mystery solved!

[bollard_11]

I thought they were actually Serbian polka music

[Marki.]

Why again...

I stand behind the opinion that genres are not determinative, you either like a band or you don't and for me there's no need to somehow classify them.

divine sarcasmus...

[HumanPate86]

Green day is punk...except on 21 century breakdown

[WhatserKinx]

Green Day could tell you their genre... but then they would have to kill you...

[solongfromthestars]

The brand new "sex-soaked" ninth studio album will bring a new genre into the spotlight, sex music. Green Day are sex music.

But yeah, as everyone else has already so perfectly put it, Green Day is Green Day and doesn't need a label. Like Billie tweeted "I only care if a song is good. Punk or not" or something like that.

could horse shoes & handgrenades not kind of be considered punk?

I wanted to write that too..

[bollard_11]

Seriously who honestly gives a shit what genre a band is, you like a bands songs listen to them. Classification is merely a tool to organise your iTunes or for elitest douches to bring snobbery back into music.

Now lets wait another 2 months before some other newb brings up the same topic again

aww hell here we go ...

for the record, i believe they are

[WestboundSign!]

It was predictable that this discussion would come up again sometime...

And in my opinion they play the music in my favorite Genre. A Genre called Green Day!

You can't talk about punk anymore, it's just pure sex.

This so much! It really doesn't and shouldn't matter what genre a band is.
