green day is an awesome band, but they were better a while back!  one of the reasons american idiot was produced was b- cause when warning was out CD sells dropped so low! b4 warning was out there other CD's were awesome, but american idiot just doesn't have the same feel that cd's like dookie... nimrod... and all the other good green day cd's that there are! but i like american idiot 2!everything on it is pretty good! :)

Green Day is pretty old school, and their music is better from their earlier albums. Green Day has been around forever, though, and they had a great influence on Blink 182. I think Blink 182 can never get old. Their songs are so funny, and the lyrics are great. "I Miss You" has really depressing lyrics, but "Feeling This " gives you the hyped-up kind of attitude. This means that they can easily vary their lyrics, which is really good. As for Good Charlotte, they minus well be dead. When's the last time you heard from them? Hilary Duff totally changed Joel Madden, and the band hasn't been the same ever since he started dating her. Billy actually quit the band. The fray is more mellow, and they're not really my style. Panic! at the disco is really awesome, they're like falloutboy, just with better (and hotter) band members, and better lyrics. Everything you listen to seems to be good.

Probably because they look too scary for them and give them nightmares at night.\n\n...And because they think slipknot shout too much.\n\nAnd probably because they hate all types of rock music.\n\nI love them both by the way... give them a chance people, i bet half of you havent even listened to them...

If you are talking about the band Green Day, I would consider this.  When they released American Idiot, they brought politics to a lot of younger people who had probably not given much thought to politics.  The song American Idiot was pretty much a slap in the face to the Bush administration and whether you agree or disagree, it did get a lot of people thinking and talking.

It's more or less just that they crave attention.  Sometimes it can be funny, but in the sense when friends are joking with friends (i.e. you make fun of how your friend's hair looks like he/she stuck their finger in an electric socket).  Unfortunately (and it's been this way for years and years) the status quo is such that (and has been such that) when one makes fun of another it boosts his/her self esteem and morale (and that of his/her friends) at the cost of another's.  Most times this behavior is conducive to a lack of self confidence and a need to prove oneself to his/her peers.  Also, it indicates a broken history (even if the person in question comes from a prestigious background).  They just don't get enough love, so they've got to be a*holes...  It's just a fact of life.

Cause they're ugly fags with no clue what real music is. Or they're hollister girls, or wangsters, aka posers. I LOVE rock  .

I agree. New Chili Peppers suck. The Gorillaz always have. I think it's a great question.  And to the person above me.... Green Day sucks more than either of the bands that they mentioned.

First of all, the phrase "dress punk" is one of the most fucking stupid things I've ever heard.  You seem to be suggesting that people can't do or wear what they want, and can only wear the punk "uniform" if they completely abide by the laws of the stereotype.  If you're so punk, why are you so obsessed with labels? \n\nSecondly, the fact that there even is such a thing as punk clothes is insanely depressing.  Punk is NOT supposed to be about fitting into a fucking stereotype.\n\nYou're right though- it's the way you act that makes you punk, if you wanna call it that.  I'm a fan of punk music- and I'm not talking about modern crap like Green Day or Fall Out Boy.  I think punk as a subculture is kickass- it had a drive and a purpose.  It had ideals.  Punk as a stereotype, though- as a trend or a fashion statement- pisses me off.  While you might assume that because I dislike punk as a fashion statement that I also dislike people who "dress punk", that's not the case.  I don't believe in the phrase "dress punk".  People can dress however the hell they want.  If they like the look, whatever.  But if they're doing it in order to look punk because they think it's cool, that's fucked up.\n\nI'm honestly not trying to insult you, so I'm sorry if it came off that way.  I was a little pissed at first, but I really can't blame you for your statement.  I'm just trying to make a point...  I don't consider myself punk, but I listen to punk music, my hair is dyed bright red, I wear a lot of black, and I've got a thing for leather, and because of that some people jump to the conclusion that I'm trying to make myself look punk in order to be cool.  I'm not.  I like punk music.  I dyed my hair for fun, and for myself- not anyone else.  I like extremes, and black is an extreme.  And honestly, who doesn't like leather (except for vegetarians, who are some of the coolest people in the world)?  And another thing- I probably could call myself punk if I wanted to, and I wouldn't piss off too many people.  But the point is, I don't want to.  I don't feel the need to cram myself into some label, because I'm not that predictable.  There's more to me than that.  \n\nI don't know if I'm making sense, but there it is.  And uh...  after rereading this, I realized my first paragraph or two may have been a little harsh.  While I won't edit it, I will apologize if I came off as a bitch.  I don't know you, and I can't really judge you.
