Popular Post þjáningu Posted October 26, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 26, 2023 I watched the video and I cringed Bringing up the old billboard for foam Comparing old green day with new green day Being relived that trump wasn't mentioned as if green day have mentioned him in a song before (apart from side projects) Saying he would give the song an 8/10 if it didn't have the tiktok line in it Ugh 😆 Nothing more cringe that than a 40 something year old dude who acts like a punk rock pruist 😆 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post CherryBombs&Gasoline Posted October 26, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 26, 2023 Nothing’s worse than musical gate keeping and music elitism. That’s way more cringe than a line about TikTok. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murkrage Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 8 hours ago, pacejunkie punk said: I wish the video was getting more views. What confuses me is they have nearly 6.5 million subscribers to their YT channel. That many people like the band enough to follow them on YT, and yet you can’t even get 600,000 streams in the first couple of days? And that’s with a lot of fans watching the video multiple times I’m sure. Where are all these subscribers? It’s already dropped from trending from 8 to like 29. It's been a few years since subscribers was the main point of entry for videos on YT. This is no longer the case, unfortunately. It definitely helps but what shows up on the home feed for subscribers is largely dependent on what's trending + the user's current result of the algorithm. There is the subscription tab but a relatively small portion of the user base uses this for their daily viewing needs. Instead most of the views will come in through the algorithm which is why clickbait titles and thumbnails are a necessary evil for even the largest channels. A couple of larger channels made videos talking about this (LTT, Veritasium etc) and how clickbait is unreasonably effective. It's absolutely the case with Green Day here as well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Dude Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 So ya'll don't like my coworker, Finn huh? Jon at artv loves the new song, but ALSO talks about the tik tok line. It's a sarcastic line, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Christian's Inferno! Posted October 26, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 26, 2023 The TikTok line is fine. People are just programmed to hate any mention of social media in songs even if it's relevant. Yes, I get that it can date the songs. But TikTok is going to be around for much longer. This is not going to date the song any more than Holiday dates itself to the Iraq war or 21CB dates itself to the 21st century 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nflsbest26 Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Ugh the wait til Nov 2 is killing me. Why couldn't Green day just announce tour dates on Oct 24? In an ideal world, they would do Jan-Feb US club tour, March-June UK/Europe, then July-September US stadium. But the more I think about it, it wouldn't make sense to announce both a US club tour and US stadium tour at same time would it? Unless they announce a small club tour next week (knowing there will be limited tickets) and Billie's announcement at Fremont was to just give fans peace of mind they'll be back in US summer 2024. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not going to date the song any more than Holiday dates itself to the Iraq war or 21CB dates itself to the 21st century Playing the devil's advocate here, Holiday can still work nowadays. It's not like the USA has stopped bombing places since then (and they won't stop anytime soon, it's their whole shtick). And... well, I'm willing to bet the 21st Century will stick around a little while longer than TikTok. But even if the TikTok line does date the song more than these examples... so what? I don't see how that's such a big deal. It's just one element representing a social media/trend currently popular among younger generations. Conservatives often express discontent about these trends, similar to their complaints about immigrants (the 'huddled masses') and taxes. In the future people will hear this line and just replace "TikTok" with whatever the new target of conservatives happens to be. The song won't be ruined and unlistenable. It's just such a non-issue lol 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grohl Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 The more I watch Fin's videos the more I roll my eyes. His vids about band histories aren't bad but anything where he's stating his opinion is very gate keepy which is funny because he's quick to call out other people who gate keep 😂 when he's talking I often think just let people listen to what they want. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, I mean, musically predated TikTok (2014) and then was acquired and just evolved. So even if it does evolve again, it won’t necessarily date itself.

Popular Post Montclare Posted October 26, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 26, 2023 It's gotten more views in a couple of days than the RARAN Live from Hella Mega has gotten in 2 years. Yet another sign to retire that song. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtuous Xman Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Different strokes for different folks I guess. I don't expect the band to make another insomniac. I would like something similar however the reality is it won't happen and i'm okay with that. Yet to bring up what a band did 30 years ago and still expect them to do that is asinine to me. Why would you want a dookie, insomniac, nimrod, AI part 2. Like no. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that helps put things in perspective 😄 I just remember with the FOAM videos watching the streams for over a week waiting for them to finally hit a million views. This seems to be going at a similar snails pace. No real bump for better music (and a better video). If don’t people don’t pay attention in the first place, they wouldn’t know it’s better 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If don’t people don’t pay attention in the first place, they wouldn’t know it’s better The promotion with the teasers and stuff was cool but why have we got no interviews since the song release? Why have we not heard anything about TV performances? That's the kind of thing they should be doing now to get the word out there, right? If people weren't looking at shorts on YouTube, they may not even know about the new GD music video even if they're subscribed to the band. It's very easy to miss one music video in your subscription feed if you're subscribed to a decent number of channels 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
