solongfromthestars Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 It's hard to say this without sounding mean, but like... I like this song and I'm still surprised by how defensive people are being over negativity. I haven't seen anyone, on any platform, say they want Green Day to stay the same. Quite the opposite, actually, with lots saying they've loved past experiments and listen to all kinds of music (and these songs aren't that different for Green Day anyway). I also haven't seen any evidence that anyone has preconceived ideas of Green Day they've failed to live up to, or that anyone feels "owed" something. None of the theories people are coming up with about negativity are based on anything. People just don't like the music. There's no Deeper Meaning. It's not a personal attack on people who do like it. Disappointed fans are probably more upset about disliking new music than anyone else is. When 21st Century Breakdown came out, it was "cool" to hate it. I got called several variations of "stupid fangirl" for liking it. That was unnecessary negativity, but it didn't ruin the album for me or put me off the fandom. I just laughed and turned up the volume. It's still cool to hate the trilogy. What's the difference? No one who dislikes the songs is being disrespectful. Personally, I much prefer a discussion where everyone openly states their opinions than one where those who disagree feel they have to be quiet, or are made to feel bad. This applies to the entire fandom, not just GDC and it's not directed at any specific person. It's been annoying me for a while so just sayin. There's nothing wrong with disliking something and it's not a wild concept that it comes from a place of love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying the band is trolling because they put out a song you (not actually you lol) don't like is dumb and annoying though and it's going on all over the place. If it's just opinions on the song then of course both positive and negative should be accepted but I think it's fair to criticise such a ridiculously dramatic response that is surely going to lead to a lot more disappointment and negativity.

Well yeah, but for the most part that isn't what's being criticised. There are some people coming in to say the band are trolling and that's silly, but since there are so many theories going around, I sort of get it if they haven't read otherwise. If they have and they're still pushing it they should stop. My issue was people reacting defensively to disappointment, though. There's no need for it and I don't think it'd be considered normal if it was a reaction to people hating the trilogy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a new release there's always some people complaining about others disliking it, some people accusing people who like it of not really liking it, and people telling each to cut it out, but I haven't seen an out of the ordinary amount of any of it. I agree with you that everyone should be free to post their opinions of the song and discuss it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumpelstiltskin2000 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 A positive review here from Entertainment Weekly https://ew.com/music-reviews/2019/10/11/ew-friday-five-harry-styles-green-day/ "EW's Friday Five: Harry Styles and Green Day make two very different pop returns Every Friday, EW runs down the five best songs of the week. In today’s edition, Harry Styles kicks off his sophomore solo effort with a sensational message, Green Day come back swinging, and a K-pop queen serves up some jaw-dropping drama. Thirty-plus years into their career, the Bay Area trio are still switching things up, as evidenced by this this giddy ditty from their upcoming album Father of All…, out Feb. 7. With Billie Joe Armstrong deploying a heretofore underutilized upper register and the band leaning hard into pop sensibilities, this clap-happy track is a full-tilt power-pop delight and still feels complete even though it clocks in at under two minutes. Hockey fans should prepare to hear this tune a lot, since it was picked as the opening theme song for the NHL and NBCSN’s Wednesday Night Hockey broadcasts. —Sarah Rodman" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PursuitOfEpicness Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 I agree, discussion is good!

maryjanewhatsername Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Personally, I'm not the hugest fan of the new single. I definitely like it better than FOAMF, but it's still a little poppy to me. The chorus is its let down, but the guitar riffs in it and the verses are awesome. The length of it is also interesting - it's a lot shorter than what you usually envision from a Green Day song. Anyone feel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denice Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 I like reading everyones opinions on the song, both good and bad. If everyone thought the same about it, it wouldn't even be a discussion and imagine how boring that would be. I personally like the song but I still respect other opinions on it, and if someone doesn't like it, it doesn't make me like the song any less.

Christian's Inferno! Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 I think the length is unusual for a single, at least since Insomniac, but not for a Green Day song. Green Day have tons of short songs, not only from their early albums, but even their later ones (especially the trilogy) Examples from the trilogy See You Tonight 1:06 Stop When The Red Lights Flash 2:26 Baby Eyes 2:22 Lady Cobra 2:05 8th Avenue Serenade 2:36 Amanda 2:28 State of Shock 2:28 Other examples She's a Rebel - 2:00 Song of the Century - 0:57 Youngblood - 2:32 Bouncing Off The Wall - 2:40 2 minutes ago, Alan86 said: More of it.
