Do you like them, or you hate them? I personally like them. I'll admit, there newer stuff may not be nearly as good (still good though) compare to Dookie or Warning, but they are still awesome IMO. What are your opinions about them?

Too preachy !! If I wanted to listen to a sermon, I'd tune into to The 700 Club or The Bobby Jones Gospel Hour.

But I used to listen to Blvd of Broken dreams when I went on long walks so I can't say I hate the band.

I have all of their albums, absolutely love them. Their newer stuff isnt so good, but no one can deny that American Idiot was one of the best albums ever made.

Holiday, Last Of The American Girls, Wake Me Up When September Ends, Boulevard of Broken Dreams, and Jesus Of Suburbia are the only Green Day songs I listen to, but I like those songs quite a lot.

I've never heard of Green Day, the music band, but I am a huge fan of Green Day, the annual Japanese celebration of the birthday of Emperor Showa.

I wouldn't call them overrated, seems they get more hate then they deserve. There are much worse bands out there (like the Sex Pistols, damn them:x).

Well maybe not overrated but I do dislike how they try to cling onto this punk image as if they are punk rockers. Its pretty lame and I completely agree with you on the Sex Pistols. Very overrated and completely manufactured. Green Day I would say are sort of todays Sex Pistols but the Sex Pistols did have the originality thing as it was a fledgling genre that they played in but they were completely fabricated by Malcolm McLaren. Green Day however are the essence of hot topic punk, poseur, etc.

I'd understand if they claimed to be punk 15 years ago, even though they were more of a pop-band. I'm not sure if anybody today would view them as even remotely punk. I can atleast tolerate the music, Sex Pistols on the other hand comes out as unlistenable and pretentious.

They are pop punk, therefore they are punk based.

Punk is not some strictly defined genre. I mean do the Dead Kennedy's sound anything like The Casualties? No.

Just because they are popular and are not hardcore punk does not make them poseur's at all. Maybe if someone who only knew Green Day and Billy Talent was running around talking about how "punk" they were that person might be a poseur, but the bands themselves are NOT in any way poseurs.

Really, I feel Green Day is the pinnacle of pop-punk and I don't see how one couldn't love stuff like this. Sure they may not be the best example of punk music, but they are definitely more punk than pretty much ANYTHING you will ever hear on the radio.
