Bad Music
I hate the new Green Day song, the one about an enemy or something. It is so repetitive, and seems to surround me at every given opportunity. What is really disappointing about it, is that I used to be a huge Green Day fan. I mean, c'mon, "Dookie" was one of the best albums of the 90s in my mind. The Green Day of the 90s were way better than what we hear now. I think they are a great example of major-label artists that were ruined by the increase in size. This is one of the main reasons that it is so hard for me to listen to this song. Even their persona changed. They once sported mismatched clothes, and went for the "punk rock" look, and are all now wearing all black, eye make-up, and ties? That's not the Green Day I once knew and loved. Although their demise was several years ago, the two most recent albums have really turned me against them. Yes, this all relates back to the song, the enemy song, what ever it may truly be called. For me, it is the song that never ends, you know, the one that goes on and on. So not only is it repetitive, annoying, and terrible, it represents more than that, it represents the demise of what once was.

I have never particularly been a fan of Green Day, but I do understand what you mean about being changed by the music industry. I think that some of it may have to do with the intent of the band itself and just the changing times. The people who listen to Green Day now are very different from the children of the 90s that were their fans.
ReplyDeleteHaha I so agree with this post. What happened to Green Day? They used to be so good and now I feel like all they sing about is having enemies and how sucky America and George Bush is. I mean really. Enough already. We get it. Please take off your ties and play some of your old stuff.
ReplyDeleteUGHHH! I know exactly what you are talking about! The first time i heard that song i was like "what the heck did i just listen to?" I do like some of Green Day's older songs but this was no good for me!
