924Nimrod Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Has anyone ever had someone make a judgement because you like Green Day? Here is one that happened to me:I'm waiting in line at Fenton's Ice Cream, wearing my "International Supershirt". When all of a sudden, this young middle-school girl (I could tell because she was wearing a Jepson Jr. High (Vacaville school) shirt) turns and looks at my shirt and goes "*gasp* You like Green Day?!" Her mother turns and says, "Well obviously, honey, he's wearing there shirt." I just smiled and said something along the lines of of "Yup." The young girl then says, "My favorite song is 'Wake Me Up When September Ends'". I'm trying not to be a smartass and say, "NO! Really?! I would have never guessed." But I didn't. Then her and her mother start talking to me about how they recently saw My Chemical Romance, and say Korn with Fall Out Boy. And I just sat there, looking at them. What the fuck? I can't stand any of those bands. Just because I like Green Day, does not, I repeat, NOT mean I like/listen to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc. Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I don't listen to Green Day anymore, buut I get that like people will only know one or two songs and it just shits me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light My Fire Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I wouldn't even tell anyone I like themI don't listen to Green Day anymore, buut I get that like people will only know one or two songs and it just shits me off.What's wrong with people only knowing a few songs from a band?

924Nimrod Posted May 20, 2008 Author Share Posted May 20, 2008 I wouldn't even tell anyone I like themWhat's wrong with people only knowing a few songs from a band?Then thing with that, is like when people act like they are the biggest fan on the face of the earth of a certain band, and wear their shirts, etc. And they've only heard like two songs.Example:Person 1: "Oh hey, you like Led Zeppelin?"Person 2: "Yeah, they're bitchin!"Person 1: "Name some of they're songs."Person 2: "Uh... Stairway To Heaven and Rock And Roll..."Person 1: "What about Whole Lotta Love or Dazed And Confused or Ramble On or Tangerine?"Person 2: "What? I've never heard those."

Instant Mash Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Yeah those people shit me.That's like some people think I'm a satanist or some shit because I listen to Iron Maiden. The Number Of The Beast is pretty much they're only song you could describe as think as much about. The thing is that most people have only heard that one song, and will judge you accordingly.

Isabel Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Nah, no one ever really says anything or makes assumptions. Whenever I'm wearing a Green Day t-shirt and I walk by someone wearing one, we both just stare at eachother. I went though a phase a few years ago of going up to anyone wearing Green Day shirts and saying "Oh my god, your t-shirt is so cool! I love Green Day too!"I always assumed that they must love the band as much as me, but of course, many of them only cared for American Idiot.

Isabel Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 thats normally my situation...except for the one above Haha.One time, I was in the cinema and this girl came into the bathroom and suddenly shouted "GREEN DAY!" and was pointing at my t-shirt. We had a good old laugh and giggle aboutt he band and then went our separate ways. Weird thing was, I saw her again two months later walking along the street and we were both wearing the same Green Day t-shirt this time. We laughed again and talked some more about Green Day.THEN at the Alkaline Trio gig two years ago, I saw her AGAIN! And this was a good 7 months after the other times I saw her, and we were nearly on the verge of swapping phone numbers at this stage! I haven't seen her since, though.

Laura33 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 First off, people might actually really like WMUWSE or BOBD, just because they were overplayed doesn't mean they arn't good songs. There are some bands that I like but I only know a few songs, does that make me a bad person? And I think people make those assumptions (about you liking those types of bands) because they are part of the whole 'alternative' music scene.

Fuzz Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 My favorite is when people think slaggin off Green Day is going to bother me or something. A common response i get to something if I'm having any sort of disagreement with my friends is, "yeah, well Green Day sucks." And i just kinda smile and raise my eyebrows and thats usually the end of it cause we know they're at the bottom of the barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother and my cousin like WMUWSE - they are chavs, it disturbed me. I thought if they do some chav style remix on this song and make Billiam sound like a chipmunk I am gonna personally castrate the both of them XD.
