You can't blame him for not being there. I think he is doing the right thing. I don't even mean him actively participating on social media himself. Not doing that is definitely the best choice he could make not just for his well-being but also to avoid eventually being cancelled. What I find interesting is that he's just gone from 99% of content related to a band he happens to be the frontman of. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if there more to it or if it’s just pandemic weirdness or something else. No matter the reason his presence is dearly missed. He is a very popular and loved frontman guy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could say the same thing about Mike not posting or being in Sarah's instagram stories while on tour. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, I would absolutely say the same about Mike. He's seems to have vanished too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billie is more visible in the BST stuff that Oakland Coffee released (still waiting on that last video...) than Mike, so it's not like he's gone complete hermit outside of the stage. It could just be that he's over social media from a public use standpoint (he still has his private account that he activated & deactivates). There are other frontmen/women of bands that don't use social media at all. He hasn't been active on Twitter in a long time. I think that brief 5 days in 2017 was the most active he had been since 2012. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just dump mine in a Green Day folder 😆 Which I have done for years, and all over the place, but then I realised just how much storage I was using and that I had quite a few duplicates, plus lockdown…..😁😉 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave To The Network Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I'm just curious if we'll get a peep out of any of them in the coming months or if it will just be radio silence until right before Hella Mega ramps up again next year. Kevin will at least be there to keep us company. He went water skiiing with Tré, so maybe he can drag Billie or Mike along on some adventure that he posts. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I find interesting is that he's just gone from 99% of content related to a band he happens to be the frontman of. Though it does seem, as others note, that he has been featured pretty prominently on the band's social media. He deserves to to be able to separate his private and professional lives and does not owe us a window into his private life (and it seems we agree on that here). Also, can we quit the cancellation BS? Quite frankly, there have been a number of people who have done bad shit and deserve to be held accountable for said bad shit. My beef is that we tend to focus as a society only on the offending individuals and not the troubled culture that makes offending individuals. As an outgrowth of that, we also see a lot of outrage over really petty things, often by other privileged people who like to point fingers to shirk their own social responsibilities and take the focus off their own shortcomings, and that needs to stop. Further if you (generally, not you specifically) live in fear of cancellation, then you probably have something to hide. There are many more valid reasons for staying off social media, mental health being chief among them. Sorry, but this is just a crucial issue to me and I will not stop talking about it.

Probably because you ended your post with a defensive/passive aggressive statement ("Sorry, but this is just a crucial issue to me and I will not stop talking about it. " - she hadn't told you to stop talking about it) that makes it sound like you're having an argument. But anyway this has little to do with fangirling so how about we move on.

Guest Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Just now, Hermione said: Probably because you ended your post with a defensive/passive aggressive statement ("Sorry, but this is just a crucial issue to me and I will not stop talking about it. " - she hadn't told you to stop talking about it) that makes it sound like you're having an argument. But anyway this has little to do with fangirling so how about we move on. That wasn't directed at her, so I am sorry if it came across this way. What I meant was that I know I talk about this topic a lot and that I don't intend to take the thread off topic or annoy anyone; it just is something that is important to me. It's hard to infer intent sometimes when all of you have is text, so I kinda wish people would refrain from ascribing intentions because none of us know what anyone else is thinking. Anyway, you are right, we need to go back to fangirling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slave To The Network Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I don't usually like to get involved in topics like this, but I just want to chime in real quick and say that the idea that Billie will eventually and inevitably be cancelled (I've always disliked that term anyway) somehow is baffling to me. Green Day has been in the public eye for over 30 years and the band members have proven themselves over and over and over again to be genuinely sweet, goodhearted people - and that's one of the things I really fangirl about. Literally everyone is going to fuck up at some point. We've all said something or done something wrong; even the best of people have. If there is a situation where someone legitimately deserves to be cancelled, that means they've crossed the line big time and are potentially just a shitty person to begin with. A contender for cancellation is a whole other category of person and I would not lump any of the GD boys into that. That's just my viewpoint on this and I wanted to share my thoughts since it's been mentioned. I'm sorry, Hermione. 😓 Now I'll share this pic of lovely, crooked tooth Billie because that's what we're here for. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
