  1. Walking Contradiction was the first instance of me thinking I was listening to "cool" music because I was listening to Green Day.

    I was very young. Hahaha

    Awww
  3. That happened when American Idiot was released. That's why I'm ashamed to say I became a Green Day fan during that album.

    Kids dressing like emos... pfft. Green Day weren't even emo!
  5. ha ha ^
  6. I had gotten International Superhits just the year before American Idiot came out, so I was pretty familiar and played the part of the asshole hipster that was like "Oh your first Green Day song is Boulevard of Broken Dreams? COOL."

    Ashamed to say it but its true.

    That is my favorite Green Day album, honestly.
  7. I was much younger. I'm not like this anymore. Haha

  8. Don't worry, I was on the opposite end of it all. I slagged the emo kids. I liked the music just hated the people involved in emo. But Green Day were not emo!

    American Idiot was the first song I ever heard by Green Day which led me to venture into their older stuff. A lot of it around that time was purely because your friends liked American Idiot. It was all influence.

    I'd be glad if I were in your shoes.
  10. It used to really annoy me because I would listen to Superhits like, literally once or twice through every single day, for a full year before AI came out, so I thought I was a HUGE Green Day fan...when I'd never even heard a studio album all the way through. I was like, "Of course, I find this awesome 90s punk band and then all my friends ruin it for me cause they're weeping themselves to sleep over 'Wake Me Up When September Ends!!'"

    It was an immature thing but that's how I felt about it. And then 21st Century Breakdown proceeded to blow chunks.
  11. No one has ever criticised me for becoming a Green Day fan during American Idiot but if someone did, I'd go nuts. I didn't do it for influence, I didn't do it because it was cool, I did it because American Idiot was awesome. It still is to me.

    21st Century Breakdown was disappointing.
  12. Yeah that's why I regret judging those people then. After all, if its my favorite Green Day album, why should I criticize someone simply for letting it welcome them into the world of their music?
