Correct me if I am wrong about this, maybe I didnt understand it right, but of course green day didnt start punk, but they have the genre.

Green Day are a different kind of punk. A more mature punk (again, excluding Tre.)

What you would normally associate with punk, aren't on their minds any more. Like girl trouble, school, drugs... they're married with children. So, they have took their punk back-grounds and made an album about what concerns them now they're in their 30's. Which, is their contries future. They sound like a rock band. But the punk influences will always be there.

Green day are a diffrent kind of punk but every one has their own thoguhts on them. I like green day so i could care less. I say things like that about other bands and their fans would find it offensive too so i cant say much.

The Sex Pistols and Green day are two very different bands the two cant really be compared. Also back in the seventies when punk first started the punk bands here in England were producing differnet music and had a different image from punk bands out of USA. And as for Johnny Rotten love him or hate him, i personally think hes great, hes always slating people and what they do thats just the way he is, people shouldn't take him so seriously, he probably loves Green Day really.

so i'm guessing you have to be the one who created punk to be punk? interesting... and i thought punk was about not caring about what anyone thought and dressing how ever you wanted and not following what people before you were doing...lol silly me. so i'm just wondering what band johnny rotten would rather have to show everyone what punk really is, good charlotte maybe? :rolleyes:

bleh. i hate when bands rag on other bands. no matter how old or young the other is, it's not their place.

yeah green day isn't punk but who cares. back in 2004 everyone was scared to say anything about the goverment. that's still worth something.

plus-someone told me that johnny also said the clash wasn't punk

^ haha

but now that i think about i relize that this is just another case of an older person not getting with the time for example: I have a teacher that thinks that wearing a tank top and showing ur shoulders is way too much skin but to most people my age thats crazy. This dude is use to the old style punk "his" punk and green day are not that type of punk. He dosent like it because its new to him and some people just dont like new stuff.

I could have worded that way better but hey i had a hard day.

Does it really matter who is "Punk" and who isn't? I mean, let's say you write a song. There are so many songs already out there, that it's bound to sound a teeny bit like someone else's song. Even if it's just part of the song. The point is, Green Day's music is good (in my opinion), so who really cares if they dress or act punk? It's just a label. I mean, I could go and call Green Day Hippie if I wanted to and say they stole it from the Hippie Movement of '74 or something. Jeez. :mellow:

fuck him. i like the sex pistols, but if that's his opinion i sure as hell dont agree with it.

first of all, "they're bandwagoning on something they didn't come up with themselves." ?!?!??

um, ok, because they didnt come up with it they cant be it. they have to freaking come up with their own genre of music? whatever, johnny.

and second, "if they were true punk they wouldn't look anything like they do."

yeah... because being punk means looking a certain way. :dry:
