"Never thought they'd like Green Day.."


Evil Lord Zargon IV

Recommended Posts

Well, this really quiet kid in my Geometry class likes them. He never talks to anyone, but I got to talking to him on Friday, and I was sorta shocked at his musical taste (it's almost just like mine).

Oh, and IDK if this really counts, but my Grandma. She's 80 (be 81 in May), and she clips stuff out about them from her local newspaper and sends it to me. :cool:

I think people would be surprised that I like Green Day, I even surprised myself when I got into American Idiot... Before that, the only music I'd been exposed to was what my parent listen too, which was 60's pop and classical... Vivaldi and Green Day are worlds apart. Then I made a point to collect all of Green Days CDs.

Now everyone at school knows I like Green Day. There was a poser period at the release of American Idiot, then again between the release of Holiday and Wake Me Up When September Ends singles. Now, my girlfriend, about 3 friends and I are the only Green Day fans...

Vivaldi and Green Day are so not worlds apart ; it's all music. Billie Joe listened to everything from Meat Loaf to show tunes when he was writing AI. You shouldn't shut your mind to anything - when you can embrace all of this stuff, it's a fucking blast.

Well, I think it's pretty cool that Stephen King and Quentin Tarantino like Green Day. :)

my brothers friend, my nephew got sick and he brought him home from school since my brother couldn't get him and there was no one else here. Well needless to say when he came in I had the headphones up as loud as they would go and was working in the kitchen so I did not hear the door and he walked in to find me singing along to "Miority". I suddenly feel someone tap me on the shoulder as I finish the one line. OOPS caught in the act. He told me he liked Green Day as well and that "Minority was one of his favorite songs.

One is my mom. :blink: And my brother. He's frustrating because he gets mad when I play Green Day in the car, and then when I bought their CD's he asked if he could borrow them and copy them. Garrrr! He's a silly boy.

And another person who I would least expect is my piano teacher, who is all into classical and christian music and oldies. But she has almost every Green Day song on her ipod. Jeez. I guess they really do reach out to all types of people... :)

Luckliy there are no Billie Joe posers where I live because I'm in Hickville. And they all listen to Christian like my best friend. I used to make her listen to Green Day and I think she pretended to like them. I copied American Idiot for her and gave it to her, but I don't think she's ever listened to it. :mad:

My grade 8 Family Studies teacher.

She's wicked.

One show she went to, they were SO drunk and stoned,

another show, they were naked and got arrested halfway through the set! Haha, she always let me bring my CDs in...

There's a girl in my dance class and she didn't seem like the kind of person to like Green Day, but all of a sudden when everything was quiet she started singing She's a Rebel. I have other friends too that like Green Day.

Oh I have another story :woot:

One of my friends is obsessed with Green Day, but these other two barely knows who they are. So we were in my friends room and I was holding a picture of Billie Joe and she goes "Oh, isn't that the lead singer of American Idiot?" Then this other girl who is a little less clueless said "No, that's Billie Joe Armstrong(as she points to a picture of Mike on the wall)." Then she said "I probably know more about Green Day than anyone else in this room." So I said "TRIVIA! How many kids does he have?" She said "None. How can he have kids? He's only like, 20."

It was one of the funniest days ever.

i'm sure everyone thought that preps wouldn't like green day, what I think is really dumb about that is they only know songs that they hear on the radio and then buy the T-Shirts

I work for a urologist who likes Green Day. We have music for the vasectomy patients to listen to during the procedure so they can relax. We have a little of everything. A few have seen my Green Day calendar in the nurses station and have asked if they can hear Green Day during the procedure. We happily oblige. Luckily its the patients of the doctor that likes Green Day. So quite a few vasectomies have been performed to AI.

I am that kid. Everyone gets so surprised when i tell them what my favorite bands are. I'm really shy in school, and i guess people don't expect the shy kid to be into good music.

So what, you don't expect smart people to like Green Day? :/ That's nice, I'm sure everyone here appreciates that.
