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?

they're very hit and miss with me tbh. I find that unlike most other people though I prefer there softer stuff more then there early more "punk" music. Only older song of theres I ever got into was deadbeat holiday

He doesnt do drugs. The guy has to uphold that image to be able to sell his music at his age.[QUOTE="bebop013"][QUOTE="XXGamerfanXX"] Political, yes. Douche?Iantheone

I can't stand them. One of the most overrated bands out there in my opinion. I used to like them when I was 12 but then I discovered better music.xTheExploitedI 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).
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.[QUOTE="xTheExploited"]I can't stand them. One of the most overrated bands out there in my opinion.

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.[QUOTE="xTheExploited"]I can't stand them.

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.
'When I Come Around' is about the only song I like from them. I wasn't a fan then and I despise their latest stuff.
