Possibly one of the best bands to ever exist. Billie Joe Armstrong is on of the best singers on the planet. Responsible for great songs such as "Basket Case" and "Holiday"
Person 1: "Hey, did you go to the Green Day concert last night"
Person 2: "Yeah! And I had the time of my life, Billie Joe Armstrong is the GOAT"
God's Favorite Band, no more explanation needed.
Dude, do you like Green Day?
yeah, I smoke pot all the time.
No you fuckin idiot, I mean the band.
oh yeah, that to
An Awesome band. Most people know them by Good Riddance or Boulevard of Broken Dreams but their old stuff is so much better.
The greatest pop punk band of all time. They are not punk, despite what many ignorant people say, their last punk album was Insomniac, ever since then, they've been pop punk, until 21st Century Breakdown; this was when they switched to power pop. They are occasionally combined with emo shitty bands, but NEVER compare them to those dicks.
I just listened to Green Day for the first time, and now I'm going to go out and buy one of their albums!
person one: what are you listening to?
person two: green day by green day.
The band Green Day is NOT punk or even punk-rock. Maybe their old stuff was, but they've deteriorated into something that only the most tasteless 12-year-olds can squeal over. Welcome to boy band territory, Green Day.
If you have any tiny iota of respect for the genre, don't call this teenybop shit "punk." That's like calling Linkin Park "heavy metal."
Billie Joe wears eyeliner like he was a raccoon in a past life and veritably vomits angst, but that doesn't mean that Green Day is anything more than a group of broody poseurs that have been shunted into the shallow pop-rock scene.
an adjective used to describe a band who has sold out/drastically and poorly altered their sound.
"They were a good band 'til they went all Green Day, now they suck."
