Their music lacks any sort of complexity.
Radiohead they ain't
Juvenile,
American Idiot is one of the most criminally overrated albums I've heard.
their old stuff is so much better than the crap they make today
Yeah, Green Day's definitely overrated. Still, Billie Armstrong used to be great, as the singer for Pinhead Gunpowder. I hate what he's become, but Pinhead Gunpowder was some great East Bay punk.
Lets start a band and wear lots of makeup and try to burn down all that is eveil in the world (Bush, War) Guys it's been done to death, go back to your millions and relax.
Green Day: most overrated poseur band on the planet, made worse by the fact that they had the audacity to pass themselves and their Radio Disney style pop music off as punk. Yeah, right, loool.
I remember hearing this band for the first time and thinking ... they can't stick around for long. Little did I know it would usher in a whole wave/genre of power-pop-punk. Blech.
I'm 36 and think they're awesome. I friends my age that feel the same.
Maybe I'm simple-minded, but as far as Green Day's music goes, I'm of the opinion that "who cares? It's fun." I can't imagine that anyone of voting age actually takes their political stance- which is vague at best- terribly seriously. And anyone who would (namely, their teenage fans) aren't old enough to vote anyway. So, who cares what they say or do as it is? No-one is looking to them for incisive political commentary.
That being said--they are rather overrated.
They're old stuff is good and they're sound was pretty origional at the time, but now their music is just like everyone else's and all their songs sound the same. They should have quit while they were ahead. And their so called "Political statements" are getting really old! What they need is a new sound and new ideas,(basically a total change) but they've already sold out so I don't think even that would do too much. They really overrated
I think they are cool because they are old but they dress like they are sixteen. It just goes to show how rebellious they are. What makes them more radical is the fact that they make poilitical statements with music. We should let them run our country. That would be swell.
I couldn't agree more. I rated Green Day as overrated. I'm not a huge punk rock fan, but what I do know about the punk rock ethos, these guys seem to go against everything that punk stands for. They're total sellouts who pander to the masses via MTV. No thanks. Totally overrated.
Having flown under the radar for a few years after some real success, Green Day must have thought it was about time to make a comeback. Their white-album-wannabe epic-piece-of-shit record "American Idiot," is nothing more than cheap noise united under a semi-clever album title. It is full of un-backed claims, unsound opinions, and a spirit for revolution lacking the temperament for rational and understanding. They are washed up and "American Idiot" is just a manifestation of their collective mid-life crises; their regret over having for so long made music that was absolutely trite, meaningless, and sophomoric.
