Green Day isn’t punk! 86 that shit!

Popular Post The Bellie Posted January 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 2, 2019 With the generosity they have shown towards the punk scene where everything started for them, even after they'd been called sellouts (and worse), Green Day have won the heart of Gilman again, as rockstars and no more as obscure punks. The commercial side is what we see from the outside, bit when Gilman decided to make that shift towards Green Day, I'm sure it was not only a question of money. It was surely recognizance for the help the band provided them without being forced to. Now, whether this is just naive bullshit or not, I think we fans will always have the last laugh, because it's Green Day who wins, in every way. And we can more easily laugh in their place for stuff like that. As for Karl Marx, go to bed . I believe in capitalism (at least the idea of it) just because otherwise, I wouldn't have known Green Day. (This is Karl Marx, right? I didn't check ) 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe in capitalism (at least the idea of it) just because otherwise, I wouldn't have known Green Day. (This is Karl Marx, right? I didn't check ) Haha yeah it's good ol' Karl. It might be ironic that Green Day first ruined the scene by selling out and then helped to save it thanks to their generosity until the scene welcomed them back to profit from their work again is pretty funny, but it's awesome to see it coming full circle. I just finished reading a book that claimed there's no such thing as alternative culture because all quality stuff the alternative produces eventually turns mainstream, so people from the alternative scene in fact don't fight mainstream but create it (withought realising it, which makes the alternative scene turn against the aspects of it that became popular). I didn't entirely agree with the thing but yeah, here it is. With the difference that Gilman is now aware of the fact that there's no point in fighting Green Day, inc. It's like...some kind of post-alternative that acknowledges there's no escape from the flow of the market that sometimes turns alt stuff popular while keeping a platform for independent art. It's acceptance of reality - because even Gilman needs money - but also an acknowledment of a failure of its punk politics. It's not Marx but capitalism who's having the last laugh. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Virginia Lot Lizard Posted January 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 2, 2019 (edited) This is absolutely disgusting. It’s hard enough in this world without behavior like this from someone who people look up to and ultimately represent Green Day. Bullies are disgusting. I’m glad that’s the general consensus on this. This behavior is terrible, shocking and sad. Airing dirty laundry is one thing, but this girl fears for her safety. This is really sad. I am so over Jeff Matika bullying a woman during or after they broke up no matter what the reason. This is beyond disgusting. If this is at all true. If Jeff is bullying an ex-girlfriend like this and making her fear for her safety: I hope Green Day gets rid of him. And also that Mike Dirnt or Bill Schneider plays bass in the Longshot. Kevin Preston in Green Day. Sorry/not sorry! Jeff Matika will make women feel uncomfortable at Green Day and Longshot shows. That is not cool.
