woven_basketcase Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I don't think I've ever gotten anything for being a fan, besides the remarks from my parents (Oh har har, you American Idiot ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LusciousZ Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Since when did "emo" become associated with Green Day? I don't understand that..And I think it probably just depends where you are. Nobody here gives a shit about anything. I could go to my classes wearing a fucking britney spears shirt and I doubt anyone would think I was strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finksgirl Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Hmm...well I get teased. Mostly by guys that like to go "They're not punk" which gets dragged out till I hit them.I might be a tad bit overprotective of my boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What else do you listen to?me: *lists off a few bands* *asks some other random question*then the convo just keeps going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excalibur Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I hate when people say Green Day are emo. Do you know who's fault it is why emo is been tagged on some bands? My Chemical Romance. They are the soul of emo. They ooooze emo, and now Green Day are been branded emo because they have the same sound as the emo gods. Can anyone name one emo that doesnt like MCR.

Kaddi. Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I hate these people who say: "Ah you like Green Day? So you think, you're punk, don't you?" Me: "No... I don't think I'm punk... " But what pisses me off even more is the fact that there are so many people who think I don't know anything about Green Day just because I know them only since AI. I mean... yes, AI was my first GD album but not the last one. And just because I didn't have the chance to get to know them earlier some people think they could say I'm not "a real fan"... and btw what would Green Day be right now without all the new fans? And I don't mean these little girlies... I mean the ones who know them since AI, but who also love their other music and who are still waiting for the new album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like MCR but i'm not really emo, i'll somewhere in the middle of punk/emo/goth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeJennsitized Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I don't get called anything out of spite, but my friends aren't that fussed about Green Day, but think that because they're my favourite band, that I don't like anything else and don't ever stop talking about them. In fact I hardly ever mention Green Day to my mates, but when I do, it's all "Jenn, oh my god, just because you're obsessed with them!" and I'm like, "what?" they think they're being funny, but it's starting to annoy me. :/And I also get the punk thing. I listen to punk music, but I also listen to metal, emo, pop and rap-rock. FFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starbug Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 if i see someone with a GD tshirt, I assume I know more than themGD Trivia Battle, it's on haha me too! I think it's crap that GD is emo. I don't like emo, generally. I like some mcr and FOB, but not much. I don't like that sad shit, and BOBO is about as 'sad' and 'emo' as GD has ever gotten, and even that wasn't meant to be 'emo'. It was recorded before all that shit hit. Thankfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindlessZombie Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I try not to make assuptions of people just cause I see them wearing a shirt of a band I like. I hate to admit but I use to but I never went up to random person on the street cause I saw them wearing a Green Day shirt or something...I did have one girl come up to me at school one day cause I had had a Green Day shirt on with the 'Kiss me, I'm punk."Girl: You like Green Day?Me: Yep, I'm guessing you do too...Girl: Yep, do you like Fall out boy too?Me: Not really, why?Girl: Well I thought sinced you liked Green Day you'd like Fall out boy too.

And I don't mean these little girlies... I mean the ones who know them since AI, but who also love their other music and who are still waiting for the new album Same, I say I'm just me. I don't want to act/think I am someone else. I am very eclectic and have many different interest and kind's of music I like.I have generally been a fan since AI as well. I knew some of thier song's but I never knew who the band was. I love every song they have ever had really. I am still working on getting all of thier album's. And I know a hell of a lot about them since I became a fan. Like my teacher he has been a fan since the begginning I know more than he does for some reason. And he goes to me to ask about them.
