[Asherr]

I like there old stuff, and now all these people who idolize them because of hits such as American Idiot are like OMG I LUV GREENDAY BIN A FAN 4EVA, OMGZ BILLIE JOE IS HAWTR!1./

[Vitality]

Sorry

I think I liked some of there previous stuff which was released this year. Since then, they havn't really produced anything good :s I don't really intend on listening to them so I suppose others will tell you how bad or good they are :)

[Jane]

I have their new album and it's a bit bobba. Their old stuff was better. The only people they appeal to now are Busted and Mcfly fans.

Dookie is the greatest album ever:p . I dont like new green day, but it isnt they themselves I hate. I can deal with them having new music I dont like (I dont blame them for trying something new, after 16 years you are almost forced to change a little) but its the fans that REALLY get me mad. I dont know when green day turned into a style, it used to be not caring what you wear or what you looked like. Now they all have uniforms.

Yes dookie was and still is the best, american idiot is rubbish when you compare it to the rest, and there are people like my cousins who thinl green day is a new band and when i play hitchin a ride and stuff he says that it isnt lol

Not having a style was their style sheesh man, everyone knew that :P

And Green Day have always been a pop band. If you're played on TV or the radio you're a pop band that simple. The term pop has just gotten a lot of negativity as of late since the bubblegum pop explosion. But yah, Green Day has always been pop.

Well "Pop" is hard to define. Originally punk was concidered a type of pop. Even Nirvana considered themselves pop. Genre-izing bands is hard to do and usually leads to arguements amoung people who dont relize it doesnt matter what the genre is as long as they like what they hear. Genres are the to simply guide you through music and help recomend things, not to steriotype music and people.

exactly... there was a time when pop wasn't a bad thing... you were either on the REM side of pop or the Micheal Bolton side of pop. It's just short for popular so like I said, if you're on TV or the radio you are pop.


Nirvana:
How do we categorize our sound? We're pop. We're rock. We're pop rocks that crackle on the top of your tounge.

And genres are pretty much worthless to me. That's why I try not to use them. But at the same time I don't like seeing uncreative/untalented bands classifly themselves in the same category that bands that I respect are generalized in... it's a 50/50 thing to me

They sound totally different.
