KGLWW Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 I really like the song, but for some reason it doesn’t grab me in the way something like Know Your Enemy did it first. The new song is a lot better than that song, but for whatever reason just is going to have a hard time taking off, I think. People don’t want to listen to anything that might be deemed negative in anyway. Plus the overall dislike of the last album probably doesn’t make a more casual listener exactly excited for a new song from them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Christian's Inferno! Posted October 29, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2023 Spotify streams for TADIKM Day 1 - 248k Day 2 - 487k (+239k) Day 3 - 663k (+176k) Day 4 - 1,078k (+415k) Day 5 - 1,313k (+235k) Spotify updated again. The performance has kept pretty consistent rather than just completely dropping off after the first couple days but I think it's clear that this isn't going to be a big hit for the band. Doubt it'll even surpass the streams of their other post-trilogy hits, namely Still Breathing & Bang Bang which are at 105m and 84m streams respectively. I can see it passing some of their lesser recent singles like Oh Yeah (33m), Father of All (38m) and maybe even Oh Love (47m) eventually. I think the band need to start doing proper promotion like interviews and TV performances to try and keep the song in the public's view for at least a little while 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Flashback Posted October 29, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2023 Wow, they just played TADIKM for the third time on Austria's biggest radio station and an hour before they played American Idiot and the anchor did a quite long introduction to the new song and the new album. Very nice to hear! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The music video has 1.9k dislikes With the video itself being filled with zombie violence, it's possible many of the dislikes are because of visuals rather than the music. People that aren't desensitized like us, they might be scared or disgusted by it. I know grown adults who can't watch even PG violence without getting extremely upset. 60,000 likes and 2,000 dislikes is actually pretty darn great. and really the like and dislike buttons are kind of like credit. bad credit is better than no credit. It's engagement. I'll say 800 of those dislikes are because people are scared of the zombies. 200 are people that never liked Green Day but it got recommended to them anyway. And 1000 are whiney, "Kerplunk is the only good album, I liked them before they sold out" people who come to say that with every release. Or some variation of "I liked Dookie and American Idiot, but everything else they've done is kind of stupid." I'm literally streaming it on a never ending loop with every drive I take, and I'm driving a LOT these days. My son, girlfriend and job are all in different cities than I am, and I think I'm cracking up. Am I just paranoid or am I just stone? I went to shrink analysis my brink / he's says that's totally normal don't worrry / I'd never go to a whore / cause that I can't afford / I need to quite my whining cause I'm off topic / sometimes I give myself the creeps / sometimes my mind plays tricks on me / it all keeps adding / I thinking I'm cracking / Oh crap, I gotta go listen to THIS song again. Basketcase is about to crack a billion and guess what? American Dream has kicked up into hyperdrive. It'll be there soon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Dude Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Imagine seeing Green Day live and this happens: "Cracked up into the wild.....EVERYBODY SING!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I actually looked up the term "cracked up into the wild" but it's not really anything. Ended up reading about the Into The Wild book and movie and now I'm streaming the song again and boozing it up real good. Ask me anything, I'm drunk! Sometimes I get asked if I'm on the spectrum, and no. To my knowledge I am not. I'm just an anxious, nervous artistic dude who enjoys the complicated thing in life.

dirnt286 Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 The more I hear this song the more I feel like it is genius. A really clever blend of AI song elements and classic Green Day power chords. Plus lots of clarity in the production quality. Not my favorite of all time but really great song to come back with. I kind of love it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Slave To The Network Posted October 30, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2023 17 hours ago, Christian's Inferno! said: So... The writer is just going to ignore the fact that this is a 21CB sounding song. Not Dookie. Not American Idiot. Not even Uno or Revolution Radio. Like, this is the closest thing to 21CB we've heard since 21CB and they just don't hear that? American Idiot doesn't really deal with the issues TADIKM does. 21CB does I was immediately reminded of 21CB when I listened to TADIKM for the first time. It really took me back and it felt so good! It's just absolutely bizarre that this person ignores that. Like @Red said, they put their hearts and souls into that album, especially Billie (who practically worked himself into the ground), and to just throw it aside like that is a complete insult. What a dumb fuck. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really understandable, I can see what BJA was going for with what he said but I just think the sentiment falls flat with the way it's written. It could be better, for sure, but the rest of the song is still pretty good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post CherryBombs&Gasoline Posted October 30, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2023 I still don’t get the hate for the TikTok line. Sure, it’s not subtle, but he’s not singing it from his perspective but from a conservative one. Also, TikTok is a massive cultural phenomenon that is here to stay. It’s not just going to go away like MySpace or something like that. And even if you dislike the line, that doesn’t make the song bad. Turning from “I like this“ to “this is terrible“ just because of one line of lyrics is honestly kind of immature. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do wonder what he actually considers to be "good" music though. Also is it really that difficult to think maybe Billie is not referring to himself or his band when saying "we" in some of his songs, but rather what could be a generalization of Americans or even humanity as a whole? 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As true as this all is, it’s not exactly profound to say “TikTok = bad” and comes across a little boomer-y, which whether we all like it or not, BJA tends to be on some things from time to time. My dude barely knows how to work social media I like the song, I think it rocks, but I can concede that that line is a bit corny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantano's favorite band is Death Grips and he thinks they are perfection. He had one gripe about their live show but thinks it was purposefully done as a statement because they are so punk rock or something. 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
