Reminds me of Tom Morello's response to Paul Ryan claiming his favorite band was RATM.

I wonder what Ryan’s favorite Rage song is? Is it the one where we condemn the genocide of Native Americans? The one lambasting American imperialism? Our cover of “Fuck the Police”? Or is it the one where we call on the people to seize the means of production? So many excellent choices to jam out to at Young Republican meetings!

Green day is still considered punk? Or is that part of the joke? (Serious question)

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I mean... what is punk really? It seems pretty undefined.

[–] citrusface@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nah it's pretty well defined - no, greenday is no longer straight up punk. Pop punk rock would probably fit them better now.

I'm game. I'm 57 years old and I've been listening to music since before the sex pistols. Let's hear the definition of Punk.

[–] citrusface@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Raw. Anti-establishment. Rebel. But also punk doesn't give a fuck how I define it and punk would say fuck you for asking. But it would also share a half smoked cigarette and ask to crash on your couch.

You're right punk can't be defined - all I can say is that Greenday isn't anymore. Or maybe I'm a sellout.

Maybe he's right.

Billie Joe has been married to the same woman for more than 30 years. That's a lot more family value than the MAGA idol ever managed in any of his several marriages.

Green Day also didn't encourage people to attack the Capitol, unlike the "patriot" MAGA idiots.

It's a low bar, but Green Day is a lot more respectful and respectable, even by their own definitions.

Billie Joe Armstrong: Strong advocate for monogamy and heterosexual marriage.

Taylor Swift: Serial dater. Pegs exclusively.
