WhiteTim Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Billie's rewritten punk a few times. Yes but they have not changed the music industry or how it operates... no band has Tell me what format did GD force the music industry to switch to? Tell me how GD signing to Reprise made labels differate on how they signed other bands? They've influenced a genre of music to be more popular within the industry (which can be debated at that) but they havent made an entire industry change at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billie put it in the mainstream with Dookie, and again with American Idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debatable some call Nirvana a punk band hell they stared in a 1992 movie called 1991 The Year Punk Broke... if Nirvana can be considered punk (as they are not grunge...) then Nevermind would be the break out (as Dookie nor AI has out sold Nevermind) But they still didnt change the music industry...

WhiteTim Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I'd consider Nirvana more grunge than punk. Nirvana is very far from grunge Grunge is very slow very heavy its slowed down metal pretty much Closet Nirvana ever got to that was Bleach and that was one song...

JOE THE X-KID Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Grunge isn't really a genre. It's more of a label or way of packaging bands from Seattle in the early 90s. Bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice in chains etc. Nirvana were basically a punk rock band and even Kurt thought they were.

They arent grunge nor alternative rock or heavy rock Alot and even Kurt said they were a punk band which im not all too jumpy on that they had alot of punk ethics but I dont know if that makes the music punk...

Spike Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Does it even matter how a band's style is labelled? Nirvana sound like Nirvana, Green Day sound like Green Day, they both have a wide range of influences and neither are quite punk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Seagull Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 You definitely changed some lives when you came here, but I'm not sure if that was for the positive. I heard that people were screaming when leaving GDC. It's nice to think that I can change the world lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It labels a band and when they do anything slightly different, everyone goes crazy and says theyre sellouts. Pisses me off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrutalLove Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 No, they didn't change the world but they do a lot to make the world a better place. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Day_related_projects#Charity_events_and_songs Hopefully your teacher will admire you for picking someone different.

beejeezee Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Hey everyone. So in english class this term, we have to choose someone who has changed the world, and talk about him/her. Someone like Nelson Mandela or Gandhi or whatever. But i want to choose Billie, or Green Day in whole, and i want to know your opinions about this subject. Do you think Green Day contributed in changing the world? If so, how? and why? Less personal, more informative please. So yea, and i hope you guys like this topic. If not, mods can do whatever they want. Billie Joe has changed my life more personally than Nelson Mandela has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
