stories and songs Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 @Shahd That means they're doing something right. We don't want people who have an issue with chanting "No KKK!" to like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a lot of hateful tweets and there's this video on YouTube that has many views and many likes and all the comments are full of hate for Green Day. I just don't understand why can't people disagree with someone without insulting them. Like saying they suck and they're 40 something with eyeliners and I don't know what just because you disagree on politics?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billie Hoe Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Just now, Shahd said: I've seen a lot of hateful tweets and there's this video on YouTube that has many views and many likes and all the comments are full of hate for Green Day. I just don't understand why can't people disagree with someone without insulting them.

Honestly, there have always been haters and there always will be and GD know that. What Green Day did last night is bound to spark controversy, which is GOOD. I expected nothing else to happen. Just blend them out. #hatersgonnahate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I don't care Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I love all the attention that this is getting. After watching the performance, I can't get the chant out of my head. Not that I mind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaraGreenDay Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 So it seems that ABC and the AMAs didn't knew about the chanting, they didn't do it at the rehearsal. Well, that's what TMZ is saying now http://m.tmz.com/#article/2016/11/21/green-day-american-music-awards-anti-donald-trump-chant/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stopped reading social media comments these days because they always make me so angry. In fact, that's how angry they make me: But I love that Green Day doesn't care and speaks out their opinion although it could mean losing fans... but honestly, fans who hate them for being left, anti-racist and anti-fascist, who needs them anyway? Those are the same people who complain that Green Day isn't punk enough, but now complain about the fact that they did something 100% punk onstage yesterday.

Me too! I have a friend on twitter (not a GD or even rock fan) who saw one of my retweets of the chant and she told me it had lifted her mood significantly And a ton of other people who have never previously tweeted about Green Day in any capacity have been excited about the whole thing.

I sure as hell want this. They're doing the things that made me fall in love with them in the first place. This is exactly what I want. I think it's funny that people are like "LOL, so they went on a popular award show and tried to make a statement? That's not punk." That's punk. That's very punk. Green Day is excellent at infiltrating pop culture spaces and making people feel hella uncomfortable on a very prominent platform. It's kinda awesome. @JardyOfSuburbia Trump is literally appointing people to his cabinet who have shown support for the KKK and/or white nationalism in general. Green Day ain't reaching, folks.

The Grohl Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Wow, I can't believe there's actually a backlash. It's just really funny! Like someone else, great promo for RevRad. And honestly, wouldn't we be disappointed if they said nothing? Especially with Billie expressing his disdain in just about every interview after the election? Green Day has never been about playing it safe and I'm glad they didn't last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
