outsider Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 well its become extremely uncool to like them. all the jocks and preps hate em, which makes me happy. most of poser emo and punk kids hate em too, which makes me happy as well. its basically just us losers that like em now. theyre really mainstream, but for some reason theyre nothing like panic at teh disco and falloutboy and that horse shit. i honstly dont know how they got so huge all the sudden, its not much like most popular music rigth now.I agree with you, it makes me happy as well.It's like all of us "losers" that don't like such bands that you mentioned can gather around this one band that once was the saviour of the outsiders in the first place, but got popular and then unpopular again. It's uncool to like them now and then it's easier to sort out the band-wagon-hoppers and wannabe's because they won't be around. Losers are better then preps eh?

martinrhl Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 well, if the listeners of KROQ 106.7 in los angeles are any guide, they are huge--they are the #2 band of all time in terms of the number of songs that made their year-end countdowns--as voted by the listeners. U2 is #1 and they've been around much longer. AI is the #1 album of all time and Dookie & Nimrod were in the top 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 16PaperLanterns Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 I'm happy with they're popularity at the moment here. I see some people with AI tshirts, which usually makes me happy, as opposed to making me feel that they're not really fans. I guess it's because they were so hated before. Most of the people I talk to don't hate their guts these days. plus, the alt station plays their music all the time-from every cd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Whatsername Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 I think it's just pathetic that people can love something and then when it becomes popular people don't like it anymore. They are trying to be unique and don't want to be like anyone else, but whats more unique than sticking up for what you like yourself, and not caring who else likes what you like. I know a hell of a lot of people who don't like Green Day for that reason and it's pathetic I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucktooisgreendaycool Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 I honesty think that Green Day has been very low on the popularity scale.Well atlest wear i go to school and the people i know.They always tell me how gay Green Day is now.I think there old stuf is better then there new :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wowsers_trousers Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 I was on a forum where the majority of people were probably 10 years old (its just funny reading what they say) and aparantly you should stop liking Green Day unless you want to get bullied at school because they are so 2 years ago.

greenbugs Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Green Day's popularity has died down alot nowadays. American Idiot did, however, get them this whole new set of eager and good fans.I hate how green day became extraordinarily popular around the time of american idiot with teeniebopper girls because "billie is so hawt" ... that fucking pisses me off. He's old enough to be your goddamn father.I really can't stand those girls. And that mostly all there is around here. All they know is billie joe too. I mean, green day isn't ONLY billie joe, what about mike dirnt and tre cool? They are equally as fucking amazing.If you go outside wearing a green day shirt, its like "oh yeah i love american idiot (or blvd. of broken dreams) and billie is SO hot!" Firstly, its Billie JOE and secondly, american idiot is not the only CD they've had.Honestly though, to be a "fan", its not like you have to have every CD, or every lyric memorized. All that matters is that some goddamn song affected you in a really great way. I hate how when some person gets mad at a new fan and they new fan retaliates by saying "i have every CD" .. that's not even the goddamn point. the point is what the song meant to you.

l_l punx Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 well...*GREENBUGS* you're pretty right , but what the hell , u cannot control teenies , besides i think it's normal to find teenies , it's something natural that comes with every girl well not every girldont worry for mike and tre , they have teenies but because billie's the lead singer he gets more media and teenie attention .... anyways like i said u can't control them but not all gd fans are like what you said , there are some few ones that aren'tanyways , im bored talking about how must be a gd fan and what he should do , cuz who cares ?who cares if there are gd fans in their school ? who cares that most of them are teenies ? i know that they piss of most you off but for me i don't care about it , who cares that u're taking gd too seriously ?

angie green Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I dont know many people who like them myself, although my friends always say they dont like Green Day and then when i play the likes of basket case or BOBD they say oh i like this one, not having a clue who it is.They have got a whole lot popular since AI though, it scares me that when tickets go on sale i wont be able to get them! aggrrrr! im hoping theres going to be a pre-sale link??i know im early but youve got to get these kind of things sorted out!

klytaemnestra Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 This probably isn't gonna help, but a couple of years ago I wasn't into music, so I didn't know ANY band really, let alone Green Day. But in 2004/05, I saw then perform American Idiot on TOTP and really loved the song, and it all kicked off from there. I think they were really popular when AI came out, but then it died down.Told ya it wouldn't help.my friend bought her 9 year old brother AI for his birthday, he now says Green Day are his favourite band Claire's Accessories have got Green Day stuff in there as well as Fall Out Boy and a Nirvana Wristband, but they sell stuff for like 5 year olds and upit makes Green Day more popular but with the wrong age group, dont you think?Yeah, I went into Clinton Cards a while ago, and they had a load of Green Day merch, like BOBD keyrings, calendars, bracelets, stuff like that. I was just like, "What the fuck?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scumbag Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 well, i'm not surprised that they're not as populair as they were when AI first came out, it's more than two years ago. "celebrity is like haircolour, it can FADE FAST" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christi Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 none of my mates like them Same for me.... It's kinda sad, 'cause we can never listen to the same music without changing song every two minutes... :/ People here know who they are, but there is'nt many fans around.. :/ They became more popular after AI I think. (At leaats they did here). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danniee Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 i thought they are one of the biggest rock bands in the world! obviously they are not that focused on by the media right now, because they have nothing new out. they are huge though.

xthe Grouchx Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Well, they're getting less popular every day. The teenies are forgetting about them and the emo's rarely talk about them.Green Day have always been up and down in popularity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slappypunk Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I think AI made them less popular and more popular in a way.Some of my friends use to like them until they brought out AI because it was "gayer" then the other albums. And then they started a hole craze 'fuck Billie-Joe' 'Green Day = fagots'.... =SI dont get people haha :/I agree that AI made them less popular Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
