green day is my favorite band, and in my opinion they are the best band ever, and other ppl might not think the same and thats ok. i dont care. i just care about green day. i luv them to death.\n\nEMO is short for EMOTIONAL so in a way, EVERYONE is EMO because EVERYONE has EMOTIONS! duh. ne ways. oh and by the way, LABELS R FOR CANS! green day isnt "EMO". i hate when ppl say they r. they think cuz they wear black eyeliner and wear darker clothes or sumthin, then theyre "EMO". look, they dress the way they wanna. just cuz their music rox and u cant even get outta ur garage doesnt mean u have to bust on them. also ppl think theyre "EMO" cuz of sum of their songs on American Idiot being "slower" than their "old stuff". most ppl relate green day to being "EMO" thru Blv of Brken Dreams. just cuz u have one EMOTIONAL song doesnt make u "EMO".\n\nthe reason they are awsome is because of what they write about. they sing about teenagers having issues in their life, trying to find themselves. they put their music out for themselves. they write and sing what ever the f they want and u know what, its not for u, its for them.\n\noh and to all u ppl who think their "new stuff" sux, its not that "new" ne more. its a few yrs old now. and all of their "old stuff", wtf! which "old stuff"? there is 1,039/smoothed out slappy hours and kerplunk before Dookie, so what do u mean by "old stuff"? plus theres other old stuff, like insomniac, and nimrod... plus more! sum1 tell me how green day is "sold out" or "overplayed"? if u listen to their "old stuff" doesnt that mean that their "old stuff" is REALLY REALLY "overplayed"?! hello!? is ne 1 there!? if u like/luv green day, then u should like or luv it all! i dont care if u think the "old stuff" is better than the "new" but at least give respct to the "new stuff". if u totally blow American Idiot off by hating it so much and thinking that green day sux cuz theyve become mainstream, then u were never a true fan.\n\nthis following peice is to all of those who hated green day for making dookie, cuz the same s**t is happening again thu American Idiot.\nwhats the difference between playing in front of a small group of ppl @ Gilmore st. who know ur lyrics, compared to 50,000 ppl  in Giants Stadium who know those same f ing lyrics? just because they became successfull in putting their music out, letting others relate to them, and letting others hear them, doesnt mean they r ne different. what, do u just wanna keep them all to urselves!? is that y u hated them for signing with reprise and putting out dookie? ur f ing retarded u selfish B@$*@*ds! just because green day is successull and ppl listen to them, relate to their lyrics, and luv them, doesnt mean u have to be dfferent and hate them.\n\nAmerican Idiot... everyone knows of it, has heard of it... etc... but ppl mistake it for just politicalness. it isnt jsut a bash on bush, (bush sux). lol. it is a story of Jesus of Suburbia trying to find his way in life, meeting St. Jimmy, trying new things(give me novacaine), and falling in luv with Whatsername (shes a rebel). the whole cd is a story, yes its political, look at holiday, but its not just politics, but an adventure of a teen confused in life and doesnt know what to do, so he leaves. Blv. of Brken Dreams is a song about how JOS doesnt haven ne place to live, ne $$$ or ne food and hes basically homeless. dont think Green Day is "EMO" cuz of Blv. of Brken Dreams. its a chapter in JOS's life that he has to conqure, my life, and everyone elses life (at least once)! dont tell me uve never been sum hard times.\n\nsrry this is so long but i have to get it all out!\n\ni luv green day and i think that they are the greatest band ever, TO ME!\nbye!\n\nluv,\njess

Greenday was my favorite band in the mid-90s or so, but I still like the current music. Of course it's not exactly the same style. Bands have to be allowed to evolve however they feel. I think the only way they can be seen as posers is that they have kept a some of their old habits which they have outgrown.

actually... your idea of punk is definately the poser kind. if you were to go to a indie style record store and ask where the punk was, like "green day" and "blink 182" they would probably smirk a little bit, because it's funny that you think that that is punk. they would want to laugh, but i would hope they wouldn't because that would be mean. \n\nreal punk is more like the bands "rancid" and "against me", which i'm sure you would NOT like if you like green day and blink 182.

No, they are not gay.  They are one of the best bands out there today. Two of the members are married...to women.

I think green day shouldnt even be called punk... and your definately NOT a good rock band if you see little 11 year olds wearing one of your band shirts...btw has anyone emailed you yet?

I have to agree...I like Green Day as much as the next guy, but it's enough. Especially since most of the people asking didn't know who Green Day was before American Idiot came out.

Pink is my favorite color. Especially soft pinks. Yeah, I like Green Day, especially their later stuff.  Don't get me wrong the early albums were good, but I like their more controversial approach they are now taking!

I'm with you, Greenday are terrible. Also can't stand Bjork, not a band I know but she sounds like a dying whale.

yeah...i have listened their whole CD. Some of the songs on there are played too much on the radio, but there are some (such as Are We the Waiting and She's a Rebel) that haven't been played on the radio very often. Overall, though, Green Day's songs are pretty awesome!

Hmm... Obviously it's just a matter of taste, but "Let Love In" is my favorite album of theirs.  People say they've lost their edge;  I hated their early tuneless crap (I mean really early. I still enjoyed "boy/goo" and "dizzy").  They've matured to the point of making real music.  And good music at that.
