I have serious issues understanding why people is offended. It’s not saying that Swedish Pop or trap is shit, but that this record is something different. It does so in a bold way, but it’s also a pretty obvious and ironic statement. I feel like people love to find stuff to complaint about sometimes, maybe the PR team had to take this into consideration, but it seems really like an overreaction based on absolutely nothing to me. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DookieLukie Posted February 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2020 I don't understand how that could be seen as racist. It's kind of dad-rock cringey, though. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post The Grohl Posted February 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2020 Really now Ariana Grande fans are mad? Get a fucking life. She doesn't need an army to defend her. And I'm sure she doesn't care what Billie thinks about her. He really can't express his opinion about artists without people jumping down his throat? I hate toxic fandoms like this. I love Slipknot and Billie said they sound like shit. Did I get mad? No because it doesn't change the way I feel about the band. Seriously, this whole thing pisses me off. He doesn't like someone that you do? Boo hoo. Keep scrolling and move on. I hate that more people are paying attention to this shit than the band's awesome new LP. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Dude Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Crash Thompson has a TON OF GREEN DAY VIDEOS and actually likes this record OH YEAH OH YEAH OH YEAH OH YEAH OH YEAH. He also has great recommendations if you want to hear new music. wait.....Holy crap, I didn't watch the whole thing before posting! I disagree with everything he says after 8:40. WOW.

I feel like people love to find stuff to complaint about sometimes, maybe the PR team had to take this into consideration, but it seems really like an overreaction based on absolutely nothing to me. I don't know, the way I see it, it's pretty clearly a dig at those genres, in a tongue in cheek manner maybe, but in a way, I think the poster is trying to sell the album based on the idea that not having those characteristics make it inherently better. The poster was clearly looking to be provocative, so it doesn't surprise me people are responding back, cause it just reads as old rock artists shitting on popular music because they can't get in with the youth, which is sad, because Green Day themselves said that they were inspired by genres like hip-hop and R&B while making this record, and Billie doesn't seem to have a problem with trap judging from his collab with Tyla. And it's specially weird considering the fact that the Max Martin brand of pop the poster is most likely alluding to is not even trendy anymore, like most songs he produces nowadays don't even hit the top 10. And maybe this opinion is kinda controversial, but I think his comment on Ariana was unnecessary, they're two artists doing completely different things with tons of critical acclaim, no need to compare, especially saying things like how Billie Eilish's music is real compared to Ariana when she released a whole album as a response of the process of grieve and emotional trauma she's been through the last few years, and that she was heavily involved in terms of writing and composing. Also, her stans are known to be super hardcore, so that's just a dangerous tree to bark to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post The Grohl Posted February 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2020 His comment probably wasn't necessary, but it's really being blown out of proportion. It's just funny this is where we're at in society. Nirvana freely spoke about how they felt about other artists back in the day and it was never as big as deal as this. People didn't cry when every artist took shots at Justin Bieber. I just hate how people are acting like he called her a horrible name or said something really disparaging. He doesn't like her. Big deal. No, he didn't need to say it the way he did - he probably didn't need to say it at all, but it happened. I just think people need to chill. There are way worse things to actually get angry about instead of a rockstar throwing "shade" at someone. It wasn't even shade. I didn't think twice about the comment. The whole thing is just annoying and I'll be happy when Twitter moves on to something else. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the same time, I really don't know why people are upset. It's a dumb joke. By Monday people will find something else to get angry at anyway. I’m lost here. What’s going on?

So that one poster Green Day's PR put up saying something like "No Swedish Producers, No Trap Beats, Just Pure Rock N Roll" people said it's racist. And Ariana Grande's fans are mad about the comment Billie said in one of his interviews. It was something along the lines of she doesn't make real music like Billie Eilish.

Popular Post Hermione Posted February 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2020 12 hours ago, killjoywhatsername said: I wanted Green Day back in the spotlight just not like this. At worst they are being called racist and at best they are being called boomers and out of touch (which really the poster comes off to me as the latter. It’s a shame given how vocal Billie has been lately about up and coming artists) There's nothing offensive about the poster, people calling it "racist" are ridiculous. Green Day have a huge fanbase and the tiny amount of people who would actually be up in arms over a slightly cringy poster that the band themselves wouldn't even have had anything to do with making don't matter. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I agree it’s not racist. I just wish I saw them on my social media for something positive (like the album release or one of their live performances) rather than this cringe poster. I just think their PR team needs to get it together a bit more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

þjáningu Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Sucks saying this but while the poster isn't racist by any stretch of the imagination it is Cringey AF Green Day will just need to ride out this backlash and people will quickly move onto some new to get mad about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
