Are We Losing Green Day Fans To More Youthfull Punk Bands?

Recommended Posts

i don't think a lot of people are losing interest, it's just that a lot of other bands put out new records. for example, My Chemical Romance made The Black Parade and Fall Out Boy made Infinity on High. and when American Idiot came out, (at least for me), even though i lvoewd other bands, i just listened to Green Day for an extremely long time. so i think fans are just soaking in new music. and when the new album comes out, everyone will obsess over Green Day again. :thumbsup:

I'm losing interest in them because I'm sick of hearing the same stuff over and over again for two years. There's no way in hell that I'd ever start listening to bands like FOB. I'm starting to listen to the Sex Pistols alot.

I am on a kind of stand by. I listen to new bands music until GD release a new album. But I still listen old GD's CDs. And don't think that all fans from AI are only teenies that are listening music that play on the radio.

Its just because Green Day don't have anything new at the moment. I've listened to their CDs a million times and seen just about every video there is, so right now I'm getting more into other bands like MCR. But as soon as GD releases another album I'll be just as obsessive as ever.

I still don't get why people don't realize they are the only fan they should be concerned about.

when green day comes out with new stuff, all of the fans of those so-called "youthful punk bands" will all of the sudden really like green day again. it's all about timing.

but anyways if green day loses any hardcore fans it will be to different, less-known punk bands. "mainstream" music, although it half pains me to accuse green day of being mainstream, is a good way to introduce the newer crowd to what they like (in this case, punk)

Just because some one is a fan of another band, they are automatically no longer a fan of Green Day?

That's what a lot of you seem to be saying...

What a bunch of bullshit...

Well theres always going to be those mainstream hoebags that follow what's hot on MTV.

Plus Green Day hasn't done anything in a while, so fans are just focusing more on MCR and FOB and shitty bands (=P) like that to waste the time until Green Day comes out with something new.

I'm happy they are losing most of the bullshit fans right now. Too many people got into them for the simple fact they dressed cool and wore eyeliner like all the other rock bands out then.

I hope when their new album comes out, it's at the worst time for rock possible. it limites the amount of annoying fans to ruin the experience of it. Dookie and American Idiot came out when rock music was running out or style and then BAM this new album relates to the the population to revive it. Warning, Insomniac and Nimrod came out when rock wasn't a 'huge' deal, and look at those albums, they're still really succesfull and they still got the band to where they are now. I just hope they stick to their words and make the music a little harder than warning and most of AI

you dont have to listen to them 24/7 to be a fan.

I agree. You can like other bands and still be a fan.

I dont think GD are losing fans to other shit I mean, "youthful punk bands" I think they're gaining fans like that because critics and such are comparing GD to all those other bands. it makes me sick actually. I dont want GD to be compared to MCR or Fall Out Boy *gag* They're not the same and I dont want bands like Fall Out Boy to be anywhere near GD. ew ew ew

Agreed.

I like that post a lot. Mostly the *gag* parts.

This is completley irrelevant and probably been mentioned before, but has anyone noticed on greenday.net, it says 'Stay tuned for something very cool from the Armstrong family'

Anyway.....

If you've talked to everyone in Sweden, you're good.

If every thread is about the same band, it has to be a very boring forum.
