You know you're a Green Day fan when...

When you found a shop that sells Fiji water in the UK so you buy a bottle just for the memez despite it being hella mega EXPENSIIIIIVE

Also when said bottle of Fiji water has been sitting in your fridge for two months and despite going through a heatwave AND water shortage you can't bring yourself to drink it cuz it's GD memorabilia rather than a bottle of water to you 🙃

There’s a show on the TV called The Hit List- they play clips of songs and you have to name the song and the artist. I instantly got Boulevard of Broken Dreams on yesterday’s show. Later on in the show when they did songs with a repeated word in the title, I also identified clips of Rebel Rebel by David Bowie and Dance Dance by Fall Out Boy.

When you develop a huuuuuge crush on Eddie from Stranger Things and in the back of your mind feel like you are "cheating" on Billie. But seriously he is almost on Billie's level imo and I can't stop thinking about him. :blush:

It's because he's amazing! :P Everyone is in love with Eddie because he's a badass, D&D loving, metalhead sweetheart with a smile that can make you melt.

Balled my eyes out in that last scene!

Me too! 😭 I'm going to be watching it again this Friday with some friends who haven't seen it yet and I will absolutely cry again.

When you quickly gain a reputation at work as the big Green Day fan to the point where people stop you to ask about the band or mention when they've run into Green Day songs in the wild :lol:

Hey, I'll take it!

^ This has kind of started happening to me too, even though I tried to keep cool when talking about the show I went to etc :lol: 

A while ago I got totally caught off guard by one of my colleagues, who is also a big music lover but not really into GD (I guess you could call him a casual fan)... We joke around a lot, but one day we're at this event together and he says to me with a straight face "today I felt like Billie Joe at that meeting" - I said what, why, what happened there - and he says "because they gave me one minute to finish" 🙈  I was like oh my god, you hardly know anything about this band but of course you know that?! :rolleyes::lol:

When I was listening to Sam Fender on Spotify and I noticed that one of his songs is listed as being “recorded at RAK Studios, London” and I thought “that’s where GD went”.

When you notice your neighbor wearing a shirt that says "Oakland Original" and get excited, but then see that it has a bunch images of things on it that were invented there. Still cool, though.

When you’re watching a program on TV about Australia and they show you a platypus.

Same thing happened to me when I walked past this place in London.

When Dad played his guitar for me and I asked if he could hold the guitar behind his head whilst standing on one leg like Billie does (he said no)

Two for one today.  

When you're picking up your cupcake order and the guy putting it together is wearing a Bikini Kill t-shirt and you have to stop your self from telling him "Did you know she's at the beginning of Letterbomb?  And that Billie says he listens to Rebel Girl before shows?"

And when you ask for water and get excited when they hand you this.
