“punk died when green day became famous”
nah son punk died when elitist snobs like your sorry ass started treating punk like some sort of secret club with pathetic rules
Green Day, NOFX, Anti-Flag and Bad Religion killed punk.
nah son punk died when elitist snobs like your sorry ass started treating punk like some sort of secret club with pathetic rules
Whats fun is that setting guidelines to punk is really.. Anti punk? Like the heart of the message is going “i do this and fuck who may judge” so elitism literally does not m make sense, if anything the other stuff is more punk cause it goes agaisnt whats mainstream or socially acceptable in the punk community and pisses off elitists
i would like to point out that all these bands became very popular with teenage girls, especially greenday. i’m pretty sure that’s what made asshole 20-something men feel like those bands were ‘inauthentic’, what made those dudes suddenly need to build rules and regulations into their rebellion. because clearly teenage girls don’t know anything about being a bunch of pissed-off disaffected victims of society’s toxic, exploitative, conformist bullshit.
PLAID JACKET PABST MCFUCKO
in 1994 when green day first became famous, they invited pansy division, an openly gay punk band, to open for them for the entire dookie tour knowing full well the responses would be mixed. in 2016/2017, on their revolution radio tour, green day chose only female led punk bands to open for them to help create recognition for these artists in a male dominated scene. this band has always been using their voices for the right reasons and i love them so much for that.
They’ve also chosen to tour with Against Me! for their upcoming tour, which is a punk band led by a trans woman, which is huge. Green Day will always be some amazing people.
I feel like nobody ever gives Green Day credit for how brave they are. These guys have guts. They were the only artists at the AMAs who had the courage to all out drag Donald Trump, the President-elect, on national television. Everyone else either danced around the topic or made awkward jokes about it but it was only Green Day who came out, guns blazing and hands in the air, and screamed “NO TRUMP, NO KKK, NO FACIST USA!!”
