GNRAGE_2010 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 The Poll that GDA posted got me thinking how many fans are Green Day losing to the more youthfull punk bands like My Chemical Romance.Fall Out Boy,Panic at the Disco,HIM,that have big hits out at the moment.So is there a certain reason why I can't be a MCR AND Green Day fan at the same time? However I would agree with the fact that crappy bands (no offense) like Panic at the Disco, FAll Out Boy, and more recently The Academy Is.. are becoming more mainstream.p.s.

captain peroxide Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 All the kids who only listen to AI, tracks 1, 3 and 11, will be getting bored and moving on to the next "punk" band. Fall Out Boy and Panic at the Disco? Punk? Ha, yeah right.Any true fan, a fan who appreciates all aspects of Green Day will never "move on." Yeah, I listen to lots of other stuff now, haven't touched my GD CDs in a while. Probably because I've heard every song a thousand times. It's still good and I still take a listen now and again. I just need to keep it fresh. So while I wait patiently for the new album, why not branch out? Just because you like other bands, doesn't mean you don't like Green Day. GD will always be my favourite band, no matter what else I listen to.I think that naturally, when you're a kid, your interests change frequently. So anyone who's coming to Green Day when they're younger will usually (not always, don't hang me) move on to other stuff. The older fans, who have had it in their lives for a while...well, it'll always be a part of them.Oh and btw, as to punk, Green Day isn't all that punk anymore. They used to be, back in the Dookie days. But ever since then they've been sliding down the slope to...whatever they are. I liked what Norm Life Baby said: activist rock is a great way to describe them right now. I don't wanna say fuck labels completely because I like being able to classify my music, but making up our own labels is a great idea.My other favourite band, Reel Big Fish. Pretty punk for a ska band. They're not very mainstream and they're not even signed to a label.But I don't wanna digress into other bands again, Adeline was right. Keep the post to the topic or don't post at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stablesoulsgonebad Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 :/ If Fallout Boy are Punk, then so is my grandma.And as that many people before me have said, if they are "moving on" to other bands, they weren't real Green Day fans anyway, and I am not sad about "losing" them.

andymac Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 :/ If Fallout Boy are Punk, then so is my grandma. ha ha ha just like my ava!but seriously come on, fall out boy are NOT punk. they are emo. "the ribbon on my wrist says do not open until christmas" if thats not emo i dont know what isand im not losing interest in green day, i dont think i ever will, but i am paying more attention to other bands at the moment like Linkin Park who are very close to releasing their new album, or like sum 41 is doing, releasing new videos on the internet every couple weeks.

However, the are not even emo. They are pop, pure and simple. I mean Emo is really a hard thing to define altogether. I just know that Fallout Boy aren't. Emo bands don't say "Dance Dance!" they say other stuff about crying over moss and being upset and angsty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Who cares, if people dont wanna listen to Green Day then so be it, let them listen to the immitation bands that all look up to Green Day anyways, I just cant wait fro Green Day to release something new and knock my socks off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwen Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I don't think Green day can lose fans. People who've been liking green day for years won't stop listening to them just because they have found new bands. You can love green day and other bands at the same time. Plus I think new bands like MCR can give new fans to Green day because they talk about green day a lot. That makes MCR fans want to listen to green day.

Jimmy's_Rebel Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 no. Every band has it's era i.e. the American Idiot era has well and truly finished, and you can't really be so obsessed with a band when they're not around. The amount of people who turned up to the MCR, Fall Out Boy, Senses Fail and Blackout gigs i went to with Green Day hoodies and shirts and bags and stuff proves that people are still into them.

Milan. Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 yeah i think they are.i am one for example, i can go for long periods of time without listening to them.then suddenly get the urge to listen again.doesnt mean im losing my intrest, just means i need some new music and a differet genre or style for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy's_Rebel Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 ^ same here. The last time i listened to Green Day was, funnily enough, at an MCR gig when they played Basket Case over the speakers during set up. It was great cause i hadn't heard it in a while. I think i played Green Day so much last year that i needed to take a Green-Day-breather. And now whenever i hear a song i get goosebumps again. But i've not lost interest - sometimes your just not in the mood to listen to something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beathe. Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Because not a lot of people do. You don't want to know the arguments I have gotten into with people because they say they don't like them, and don't even have the decency to listen to one song.I'm not saying that about you. I'm saying it about people in general.Just because some people do it, it don't mean that all people do it. If you say that a band sucks, and you haven't even heard a song, you're just lame. :/ why do these threads always turn into "mcr sucks/mcr is the best" ...?

So I don't get why a lot of people do.That's how I feel.Most of the stuff I listen to... doesn't even compare to what's "popular", nowadays. Doesn't mean I have bad taste, at least, I don't think, but I'd never listen to music, just 'cuz it's popular, I'll listen to it if I like it, even if that means it's annoying to other people. I don't give a fuck what they think. Heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatsername131 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 i think that this was stated above but, it's probably because GD has released anything new lately once the new album comes out we'll get more fans... sadly, people move toward bands that are releasing new stuff i get that its exciting but, i dont think thats a reason to forget about other bands you're a fan of like GD it cool to listen to more than one band but, don't forget about GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snaredrummer9 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 i think it's like this: -Green Day is working on an album, they're not doing anything, some of us are getting tired of listening to AI-other bands have new albums out, they're on tour, they're not working on an album-and i think that we have other musical intrests besides Green Day, we just love Green Day more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
