The funny thing is Green Day and Operation Ivy were the epitome of punk when they started. They played all ages shows in Berkeley where anyone from middleschool kids to college students could come and listen to some hard charged fast ramones style punk music, and in the spirit of late 70s punk, pop pills, drink, and just cause havoc. Obviously music companies are out to make money and they jumped on the burgeoning 'punk' scene, yet you can't play songs like 'too drunk to fuck' on the mainstream radio, so they see these nice young mainstream friendly punks they could exploit. and if you are in a band, your purpose is to make the kind of music you want and for people to hear it, so if a record company says we'll pay you a lot of money and get you a lot of exposure and you can help other bands like yourselves 'make it' it's hard to say no. I don't know the whole story but Op Ivy probably saw this happening and didn't want to taint their underground name and place in history, so they formed Rancid. Just because music is popular doesn't mean it sucks, but most Green Day sucks now, but part of that is because it's a waterdowned version of what they used to be. The Dead Kennedy's guy knows the right bands, but you've got to include Bad Religion, Circle Jerks, X from the LA scene and Television, Richard Hell, Johnny Thunders and the guys from the NY scene.

A side note, supposedly in the early 80's the dead kennedy's played at my high school, but the name was considered offensive so it was billed as the Pink Twinkees.

 
there is like one member from op ivy that is in rancid. and what are you saying about the circle ejrks, i couldnt really tell?

i dont even like punk and dont know why i gave my opinion

My time is winding down.............just wait for it
 
greenday is an amazing group, an amazing part of music. they did not release pop-punk, they did not even open the doors. their newstuff was harder than their older stuff(except most of warning) and their live show is second to none. american idiot is a great piece of music, no other punk group has ever written anythign close to it, cept maybe the decline by nofx.

lol, dont even compair The Decline to American Idiot. i think that American Idiot is the best song they have realesed in a long time, but The Decline owns it by far.

I was always listening punk band like good riddance, but now punk is too popular! I listen a little bit of hip-hop now. But band like NFG, Simple Plan, blink 182, Green Day are making punk gay. But Simple Plan was always gay. And now ask a kid about punk and what he know about it he will says: I'm listening to Green Day,NFG etc... Most people are listening popular song who play at TV, Radio, Internet and after one month the style change. After kids say Punk is gay, now listen to hip-hop yeah yeah!

To become a real killer on the dance floor, you have to practice everyday...
 
greenday is not the same as nfg or any other band. why do oyu stop listening to punk because it got too popular? basically you are saying you are just a poseur.

nothing greenday has ever done has had anything to do with nfg or simple plan (except the current tour) and simple plan was a damn fine band when they were back in montreal and called reset.

and i will compare american idiot (the album) to the decline as both have a theme throughout, have amazing musical scores, and lyrics that actaully have soething to do with the world, not just girls or highschool.

... just look at the title...'american idiot' i wonder how much crack the person who wrote the song was on to make that the title. 'american idiots'- selftitled album for greenday

CHECK IT

 
dude, whoever was saying that people who used to listen to punk now listen to hip hop is a moron. first of all, there are plenty of good punk bands still around. second, hip hop sucks. third, i dont know anyone who used to listen to punk and now listens to hip hop. fourth, hip hop sucks. (well i guess The Art of Fact and Sage Francis and all them are ok but for the most part hip hop sucks)
