stigma86d Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 The fact that this thread even exists says a lot. No matter what mistakes they may have made, Green Day is my fuckin' band through and through. They're the soundtrack to my life. Are some albums better than others? Sure, that can be said for any artist. Have they been slowing down the last few years? Yeah, I can see that. But to start a whole thread for the sole purpose of bashing them is beyond me. Dress it up anyway you like...even use the whole "intelligent discussion" guise to make yourselves feel better. But a true Green Day fan, or anyone who has lived on this earth for the past decade knows that intelligent discussions are few and far between these days, especially on a fuckin' thread on a band fan web site. I'm grateful for whatever they put out, because I always find something to love, to hold on to. Why? Because a real Green Day fan, some one who just sits back and appreciates their music, know that Green Day, the basis of who they are, their core, can always be found. And to all you pathetic fuckers who continuously bash the trilogy, fuck you, and the digital horse you rode in on. To be a Green Day fan, a real one, having over 30 songs of new material being released in such a short time was a highlight of my life. Yeah, I sat there and said this song was great, this one sucks, and that one is okay, but some of my favorite songs in the world come from the Trilogy. And fuck you to all who made Green Day feel even an ounce of guilt over making it. The fact that they even fuckin' did it is why I love and respect them. I hope Green Day reads this and can find a sense of relief, no matter how small, knowing that there are still people out there who trust them to provide memories and experiences through their amazing music. I only posted this because I couldn't comprehend how disgusted I was to see a concentration of so-called "fans" shitting on what they supposedly love. I'm not saying that Green Day can do no wrong. But to sit there and act like you know what "wrong" is...well, it makes you just like everyone else. And if there is one thing I have learned from Green Day's music and being just a fuckin' fan, it's that being like everyone else is the worst thing to be. So here's to another 30 years of Green Day, another 30 years of ups and downs, of rage and love, of my band never letting me down. - The Last of the Nimrods...

I partly agree when we're talking about the trilogy. The lyrics are kind of repetetive and sometimes cringe-worthy there. But definitely not all of them. Lazy Bones for example has some of the most honest lyrics he has ever written. And talking about RevRad, I even think Somewhere Now, Still Breathing and Forever Now have some of Billie's best lyrics ever. They are so honest and reflective withouth the heaviness of some AI/21CB songs, and I love that. But that's - like everything - a question of personal taste. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having an objective opinion about the quality of a band's work, or disliking some of the music they release, doesn't make you any less of a fan than someone who thinks everything they do is a masterpiece. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not what it's for though , the opinions don't have to be negative they just have to be what you perceive to be unpopular. So it also gives a chance for the songs/albums/things about Green Day that are often disliked or under appreciated (for example the trilogy!) to get some love. Plus if someone happens to really dislike something they've done (say a new song) they can get into a discussion about it here rather than possibly spoiling people's fun in another thread where they're having a love fest over it and no one's interested in criticizing it. And when someone posts a negative opinion about something it can also be a chance for those who like it to highlight the good things about it in its defense. It's not all negative. But we're all about all different opinions and tastes being welcome. Everyone has different tastes and no one has to like everything, I don't see any harm at all in a bunch of people who love loads of stuff about Green Day chatting about the few things they don't happen to like so much. I think it makes for more interesting and worthwhile discussions when both positive and negative opinions are welcome. And discussing stuff openly in that way can even lead to people looking at things differently and finding things to like that they didn't before. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post pouty bitch Posted August 5, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2017 I don't know how much of an unpopular opinion this is, but I really love Troublemaker. It's fun, it's catchy and it's one of my favourite songs from Uno. TBH, I don't give a shit if people think the lyrics are bad - I find the song (and the lyrics) entertaining and it always puts a smile on my face, so that's good enough for me. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to really dislike it, but since the Fell For You remix came out, I've been listening to the album a lot more and it's really growing on me. Troublemaker has always been one of my favourites though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can imagine myself by a pool or beach listening to it. Me too! As well as it just being a cool laid back tune I think it's genius that they have a calm surfy interval in the middle of the album . It cements two of the album's best attributes - it's retro/surfy vibe and it's quirkiness. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd probably rank it 4th on Uno. I didn't even know it was unpopular until the Reddit sub voted it last on Uno's Survivor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
