Haha. I geuss I am.
I just don’t see them as “punk” though, more of “neo punk”.
I actually listened to punk in the 80’s as a teenager wishing I was a bit older in the late 70’s so I could have seen the bands I was into actually play live.
sigh. Yea, I’m old.

I was never a big fan of Green Day when they came out because they sounded wannabe punk without really being punk. The music was okay, and I’ll admit, they were a great live band, but I just wasn’t into it.

When the “American Idiot” album came out, I gave it a chance and I really enjoyed it. Yeah, it rips off a lot of other music, riffs,etc, but I could still get into it. This new albums sounds to me like American Idiot Part II, I really don’t hear any difference. Maybe after a few more listens, but at first listen, it’s Part II.

Greenday stopped making good music after Insomniac.

The whole Green Day thing just doesn’t seem to make sense anymore. Sure, when they first appeared it was cool and punk, but now they play arenas. Doesn’t that go against the whole punk thing?
I dunno, maybe I’m just old.

I love 21st Century breakdown. It does acutally take about 3 times to listen to each song, and then you fall in love with it. Billie Joe is a lyrical genius.
