Hermione Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 She may have, it might be You a hoe I'm a hoe Lets go fuck each other Honestly, its not about her songwriting. The thing is there are better songwriters and musicians than her in every corner of the globe but nobody would have noticed her until she showed that giant ass of hers. Was just trying to make a point And probably no one would have noticed Elvis until he showed those swinging hips of his! And Green Day might not have got as much attention if they didn't have funny coloured hair and a cool punky look. Image is a part of music and always has been. One Direction and any of the other pop artists mentioned aren't trying to claim to do anything more than perform (and in some cases write) pop music, they're not preventing other types of music acts from existing or claiming to be better than them. They're doing what they do and anyone who likes them can listen to them and anyone who doesn't is free not to. They're harmless.
solongfromthestars Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 Green Day still use their image to sell, that's why you hear all these complaints about fangirls who only want to shag Billie. Of course some of it is them choosing to look good anyway, but we'd probably see a lot more of Hobo Joe and less eyeliner and suits if image wasn't a thing. It's just the way the industry works.

People blame the artist but it's the audience who buys their music that is to blame.

I don't even think it's as bad as just being the way the industry works, it's natural to want to present yourself a certain way along with your music. Imagine how boring it would be if every music act just wore plain and boring clothes, part of the artistic side of a band is the way they look and dress, along with their music videos, effects on stage, album artwork and logo etc, lots of visual things compliment and add to the music. It's part of being a performer. Exactly. People blame the artist but it's the audience who buys their music that is to blame. I don't think anyone's to blame . I don't see any harm in pop music existing.

It's part of being a performer. Oh for sure, yeah. But it's also used as a marketing thing to help sell records and it works that way for everyone, not just pop artists. (Not that you were saying it only works like that for pop artists, but yeah)

(Not that you were saying it did work like that for pop artists, but yeah) Oh yeah agreed, it is used for that as well. But like you say, not just for pop artists, so it's a bit silly how it's always pop artists who get criticized for it when it happens in pretty much every music genre (and when it isn't even a particularly terrible thing!).
ifmemoryserves Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 the songs in the videos posted in the original article aren't wmuwse at all and are actually two of one direction's own songs??? don't know why i'm surprised at people making up bullshit rumours like this at this point but this is just stupid. and also this thread is just filled with garbage. all of you should probably stop shit talking pop musicians who are far more rich and successful than you will ever be (and who are more 'successful' and certainly more relevant than green day tbh).
Vespertine Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 there will always be pop groups in the world and there is nothing we can do about it. and green day is one of them.
Maddy. Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 and green day is one of them. green day hasn't been popular since like 2005
Steven Seagull Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 Thank god. I was sick of all this bandwagon fans who only listened GD when they were mainstream. #TrueFansForever
fukingcounterstrike Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 Can't be worse than Guns n Roses covering Knocking on Heavens Door
solongfromthestars Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 Bitching about other bands instead doesn't make you look any better than the few people bitching about pop.
DookieLukie Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 and green day is one of them. Shut your whore mouth
Vespertine Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 green day hasn't been popular since like 2005 21 guns could be considered a moderate hit tho
ifmemoryserves Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 21 guns could be considered a moderate hit thoit really couldn't.
Cath Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 Shut your whore mouth looks like you love to get banned don't you
Vespertine Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 it really couldn't.

Backyard Skulls Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 They're still relevant to me so they're relevant to everyone else!!!11
