🔥 “Dookie” is a classic. “American Idiot” is nothing short of amazing and I enjoyed some songs off “Nimrod”, “Insomniac”, & “21st Century Breakdown”

Perfecto response Goat
Let’s see: Diamond album with Dookie & another Diamond album with American Idiot, released 10 years apart. Plus a ton of great singles & songs on other albums. You buggin if you think they’re trash
🔥
appreciated them a lot more after participating in my city's local diy/punk scene
every time an amateur band plays longview or welcome to paradise at a house party they sound like geniuses without fail. there's magic on those songs
You could say the same about a ton of other artists tho that are mainly only recognized for one work. Example Nas Illmatic. They still got two classic albums & that’s hard as f*** to accomplish, let alone just one classic album
Yes they just have a ton of garbage tho too
Also, I’m curious about this, why do you write off American Idiot as “capitalizing on the Emo Wave?”
If you only heard Broken Dreams, I could see that. But that album came out at a special time during the Bush era, and the politically charged songs of American Idiot & Holiday resonated with so many ppl during that time. I guess you were too young to realize the impact?
Aesthetically. Green day started wearing eyeliner and stole red ties right from gerard way’s closet so they could have posters of them sold at hot topic.
Ive heard the entire album top to bottom countless times. its a good album. whatsername is great
got some middle school memories with them for sure but if their last album wasn't a complete disgrace
21st century breakdown was the first rock album I've ever bought. Green day will never be trash . Obviously their new stuff won't touch their old but still
