Whatever happened to Green Day?

[Rigsandbill]

Green Day used to write good classic rock/country-ish songs, but now they've gotten all goth punk and emo. Now even Billy Joe Armstrong wears dark black eyeliner. What happened?

[huggygirl24]

The "demand" has gone up for the dark eyeliner and bad music.

That's what happens if you stick a good singer in today's culture.

Did you know that Jessica Simpson started out as a Christian Artist?

Rofl. Classic Rock? Country-ish?

I agree. old Greenday was way better. "When I Come Around", "Basket Case", "Good Riddance", and "Brain Stew".

Me thinks you shouldn't make a topic on a band you don't know anything about.

They used to be country-ish? Classic Rock? Come on. And now they're emo and goth?? Do you even know what emo is? Are you even talking about Green Day?

And his name is BillIE Joe.

Well, of course Mrs. Technical Details.

[Michelle]

Well I hate when people talk about them and pull this emo **** on them, and when people try to act like they know them, but they have no idea.


Yeah. http://www.greendaycommunity.org/Forum/style_emoticons/dark/mellow.gif

Sad to say the biggest Green Day fan is wrong. His name IS Billie Joe Armstrong (as his complete name). Search it on Google. You will get more pictures of him than if you just type in Billie Joe. Now about the emo and rocker look...

Look at the one on the far right. That is more of his rocker look. Now look on the far right, that is his emo look. Emo is a stereotype, clothing style and music.

EDIT: Fine, I edited his name for you Michelle, IF THAT IS YOUR REAL NAME!!!!! :P

There, is a sign of the Apocalypse.
Anyway, on topic, I have hated Green Day forever. Just a dumb sellout Pop-Punk band from Californa.

[RacerPeng]

Actually, Mrs. Technical Details is right. It is spelled "Billie".

[Michelle]

What the **** are you talking about[died by bear]? I know his name is Billie Joe Armstrong.

He spelled it Billy Joe, and I corrected him and said it was BillIE Joe.

Either way, she is wrong about his style and stuff. :P

Well of course he has a rocker look, he's in a band.http://www.greendaycommunity.org/Forum/style_emoticons/dark/rolleyes.gif

No, you were just like "and now he is all emo and goth". Yes, actually he is. The rocker look is the an older look mainly from the 90's, which he has in the right photo. Now, he is "emo" style as of in the left photo. The emo look is best known in the 90's to now.

Again.

emo=emotive hardcore as in MUSIC not STYLE.

I think you're mistaking that for "scene" or whatever.


And goth=wearing all black [usually] and I can show you several pictures where he's not wearing all black,

So me thinks you're mistaken. He is not 'emo' or 'goth' He might have a "rocker" style but not scene.

Once again. Either way he was different. Style or music. Back in the day they were producing classical songs, as Rigs mentioned. Now they are producing that emo crud.

I always thought emo=emotional. One of the guys from MCR claims that that's what it means.

[Michelle]

Emotive hardcore or emotional, Green Day is neither. :P


I don't feel like posting here anymore.

I need to go to GDC where the real fans are.

Holy poo she was?!

I don't knwo probaly what Huggygirl said

[Dominati0n]

Green Day used to be amazing, but they're just awful now. I still occasionally put on Dookie, Nimrod, etc. and sit and listen, but their enw stuff is the worst thing since the holocaust. The music sucks, and their new "look" does not suit them at all, and is terrible.

They need to be shot, then, have their old selves brought back to life.
