I don't get being bothered if someone is wearing a t shirt with the name of a band on it even if they've never heard of them. Doesn't affect your life in any way and just means the band came up with a cool logo/name that people like. Exactly. I get excited every time I see a Green Day shirt. I don't care how big of a fan they are, I just like that they're enough of a fan to wear a shirt. I'll talk to anyone in person about Green Day, even if it's just about Boulevard of Broken Dreams. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same, even if it's just both agreeing that Green Day are cool it's great! Wouldn't cross my mind to try and test how big a fan they are. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libertine Angel Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I can see both sides to it, on one hand it's always cool to see people liking Green Day to any degree but it is annoying when someone turns out to not actually be as much a fan as you'd think, like I was wearing one of my GD shirts at uni once and someone came up to me saying they were a fan too, I asked them what they thought of the Trilogy and they had no idea what I was talking about, I explained and they said they only really knew the old classics like American Idiot and 21 Guns. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but then it's still like, who cares? Would be even cooler if they were as big a fan as you but there's nothing wrong with liking something more casually. Everyone has things they're a fan of but not a hardcore fan of. Thinking about this I dispute that there's anyone who'd wear a Green Day shirt who only knows one song. Ramones or Rolling Stones shirts being worn by people who barely know who they are I get because they're iconic designs, but realistically Green Day shirts aren't cool enough to wear unless you like them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not too pissed about it. Green Day is one of the biggest rock bands in the world, of course there will people who have only heard the hits wearing their shirt. However, I think that the communities that pride themselves on being less mainstream and more "fringe" don't deal with it well, like the hardcore punk (and maybe hardcore hip hop as well) fans and most of the metal community. A large part of their identity is based around being underground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd consider it a compliment to the band that they like those songs enough and consider them cool enough to wear a shirt with their name on it.

Mainly because reddit has nothing better to do than to critique every little thing about the universe. Outside that you are totally right. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's not going to lead to as long a conversation. I'd still consider a bit of Green Day chit chat before moving on to something else or ending a conversation to be a good thing though, better than nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
