GREEN DAY FANS?

Apparently pretending to be gay is the hipster thing these days.

I'm a huge fan of Green Day; probably because I was brought up with that type of music. My Dad has all their albums ever since they released them and he even visits their concerts in the UK. I've got to admit though - I do tend to get bored of their songs pretty easily unless I plan on learning them.
My favourite album would probably be 'International Superhits', as its the one I remember most, though the other albums are also pretty good too.

I don't think your a troll but you sure act like one. If you haven't noticed yet making short pointless threads will annoy many people and I'm sure 'random green day topic' fits the bill. Clueless people like you are very very common and so much so that people grow tired of having this same discussion and that is why you will see them as ass holes when they insult you. But I'm trying to be nice cause most people won't bother explaining it to you. You will also find this out when you spend enough time on here.

If you were a TRUE fan of RMN, assholish comments wouldn't bother you.

Greenday sucks. End of. I used to have a girlfriend who listened to them nonstop, never listened to any other types of music. I remember she went ballistic when I said they weren't actally real punk. The final straw was when she started photoshopping us both on front of their studio albums... Ugggh.

Holy fuck did we date the same girl or something?

I use to like Green Day, and now pretty much despise them, as they are now pretty much repetitive, and add on the singer's voice gets annoying after hearing it so many times. Like how many people hates Metallica, because:

1: They sell out WAY too much.
2: Their stuff is over played
3: Their singer's voice is annoying, now.

Any band that is played too much, and sells out, is a band that I start to hate.

Congratulations, you're a fucking hipster.

There is no FACTS when it comes to music. Music is music is music. It all is an opinion and money based corporation. There isn't anything that will change my mind. If I say they are over-played, then they are. If I say the sell out, then they do. If I think the singer's voice is annoying, then guess what? It is.

False. Departing for a moment from the startlingly deep topic of GREEN DAY, there is in fact good and bad musicianship, and good and bad songwriting and structure, and people have good and bad voices. Virtuoso and crappy playing does in fact exist, as does good and bad songwriting, just like empirically good and bad game design exist and (oh god dragging this topic into the deep end here) good and evil. Which isn't to say that everything's absolute and NOTHING's subjective.

Personal preference is a huge factor in what music people like, but that doesn't mean that musical skill and acumen is subjective. It isn't.

Their music *is* pretty basic, repetitive and unimaginative (and *gasp* mainstream).

I actually really disagree, but man oh man I am I WAY too outnumbered to defend greenday here/defend the merits of american idiot. more importantly i just don't fucking care. greenday does not need my argent defense of their music, they have their piles of money and models and drugs to comfort them.

I think my 'arc' with bands like greenday is the opposite of most people's. I really didn't care for them when I was like 13. I came to appreciate them more and more when I got older. I know this is like, the bizarro world version of what most people do.

Topic "Do you guys like pizza?"

Zakku, do you also think that this is a valid topic for our forum?
If yes, that's bad judgement. If no, its hypocritical.

A "do you like ..." topic is like the easiest kind to make. At what point do we get too obscure? Would it be weird to you to see a topic "Attention all Barry Manilow fans please share feelings"? While I suppose it was in your right to post it (in the Welp forum) it does not automatically mean people will consider it a good topic.


Karsuman's feelings are hurt bad right now because you really dealt a blow to his self esteem. I had to talk to him for a while to get him to stop crying.

American Idiot I suppose was my..favorite of the albums. In all seriousness, most of their songs were crap. It's not worth getting an album to listen to 2-3 songs.
