Green Day

I just want to make sure that it's not something that's Genre-Busting.

Because if it isn't Genre-Busting, I'd like to see more songs like it.

It's hardly anything new, to say the least.

I have it labeled alternative. It encompasses all those genres you mentioned, and the song itself sort of encapsulates all the things about modern alternative rock that make it an alternative to nothing.

So it's butt post emogrunge?

21st Century Breakdown is growing on me. I didn't care for it that much at first, but after listening to the album a little more, I'm starting to really like it.

You know, I'm getting a feeling that Green Day might have an album in the works for next year.

I sure hope so. Uno, Dos, Tre was kinda dull, but I haven't lost interest in them.

Butt-rock's not actually a genre, so... Well, there is that. Sorta like "mallcore" in that regard. It's just a catchall term that kinda describes stuff people don't like.

I'd say it's just an Alternative Rock ballad thing (albeit a pretty decent one, IMO). But Odd1 has a point- getting caught up in genres isn't something I'm too keen on myself. Also, Alucard's got a point about modern Alternative Rock (including Indie Rock, cause it's part of that general group no matter what people say) not being very... Well, "alternative", I guess...

Green Day is being inducted to the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame on their first year of eligibility.

The rage and tears of punk elitists everywhere is delicious...

This has become my new favorite forum weapon:

I probably should shorten it so that it's a proper forum weapon somehow.

Green Day, huh? I like them a lot, mostly because of having grown up listening to them. They're nothing revolutionary or challenging, but they're fun and catchy. I like Nimrod and Warning the best.

Dookie and Insomniac are classics, but the rest of the stuff they've done is ranges from pretty decent to kinda awful.

Personally, if your wanna sum up 90s skate punk in one single album then I'd probably pick Suffer or Pezcore over Dookie, but there's no denying that it's one fantastic-ass album.

I dunno. I feel like American Idiot is worthy of being called a classic, one of the best albums they've done. Same goes for Nimrod.

Green Day has never been skate, just ordinary pop punk.

Really, they were kinda more in the vein of a late '80s/'90s Ramones when they first started.

I guess this could be considered a skate song from GD:

One of my friends and coworkers, that's the only Green Day song she really likes anymore she says.

Somehow, Green Day, despite not being a country-punk band (a genre which exists), translates very well to country. [1], [2], [3].

I just of something: Is "Let Yourself Go" (my current favorite song by them) a criticism against everyone who says they're "not punk enough"? Because it really seems like it.

Green Day ft. Skrillex & MLG

I haven't listened to much of the Post-American Idiot stuff, aside from some singles from 21st Century Breakdown everybody's heard of. Is anybody else the same? I just stick to Dookie and Insomniac with Nimrod thrown in most of the time.

I have all the studio albums.

The Trilogy has some great stuff, but there's quite a bit of filler there too. It's experimental in places, too.

Hmm... I might check it out, then.

Do. You're not losing anything.
