luketrebilliemike Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Why does this song make me feel kinda hopeless about the state of the world ? It’s giving me incredible anxiety for a song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Dude Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 How many Green Day songs have the term "oh yeah" in them? I was looking up guitar chords for the tune and found them, but also Too Dumb to Die. So now I'm playing that song as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In China you aren't only being watched but the cameras are loaded with technology that can hack your phones. That's why Chinese manufactured phones have security holes. They're built that way to comply with the camera reading technology. 14 minutes ago, That Dude said: How many Green Day songs have the term "oh yeah" in them?

That Dude Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Coming across different lyrics. During the chorus, is that weird voice saying "do you want it" or "ain't it funny"??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something I do not get from their video description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they knew anything about GD they would know Joan Jett opened for them years back. I actually love the fact that Joan Jett is a part of the song. She's a fuckin rocker.

TimmyChunks Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Well, here’s some perspective! My 7 year old immediately enjoyed the song and had no idea who the band might be even though I’ve been (like any good parent) raising him on GD since birth. I like how my kid’s operating with a fresh canvas here. I have old Green Day basically intertwined in my DNA at this point so, that’s where I am. And he does too, but he’s a kid and can listen to this stuff without the 26 yrs of programming bias I experience. Because I’m still kind of hating it However, my son loves it. Well, there you go. There’s a lot I can and want to say, but I’ll just play him some Network and we’ll go from there. Yep, I take this too seriously sometimes, but it sure is fun to enjoy new music from your favorite band with your kids- even if there are some surprises along the way.

pacejunkie punk Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 My 19 year old pop and alt music loving daughter is not a Green Day fan but likes this song. I think it will have broader appeal outside of the fan circle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When GD makes songs for your kids instead of you.

Jack [DF] Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 It's pretty incredible that the chorus is literally a sample of a different song, but the prechorus is the part that sounds like it's from a different song. At least the verses are catchy 🤷♀️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billy1986 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Mark my words...this song will go to #1 on most all of the rock charts and will be a crossover top 30-10 hit...their album will debut at the #1 spot no doubt about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Found this video on Youtube and I thought it would make me like the song more: Interestingly enough it did the opposite and highlights exactly why I think its musically such an underwhelming song. No offense to the person who made the video, he did a great job working with whats there but this song leaves A LOT to be desired. Note: If you are wondering exactly what I am talking about its the fact that the entire chorus (What's meant to be the highlight of the song) is literally just one note.

My son’s first concert was GD in 2009 - yes, I am a wonderful parent 😂😂 - and while he’s ok with Revrad etc, he really likes Oh Yeah too, he’s 25 now.
