They didn’t even have the courage to say they don’t like Green Day (I’m not a huge fan myself), all they did was show their knowledge of music is paltry.
I don’t listen to Green Day, so I don’t know about any of their albums’ specifics. After Nirvana ended I saw Green Day first on a late night talk show, and they came out and played the same style of music that Nirvana made popular, with a similar stage presence and style. That’s when I assumed they wanted to be Nirvana.
Later they changed into modern Green Day that is completely different than what they were at the start.
Yeah he’s just an old dude that trolls, but he’s an actual troll, so it’s not like he’s doing it to be a dink for karma, he’s just really insufferable as a person. He migrated over from Reddit where he did the same thing there.
The amount of hours this guy has invested across Lemmy and Reddit is insane, so, at some point, you just have to respect the dedication and interact with him at your leisure. At least, that’s what I do.
Specific chord structures and rhythms actually. If you knew much about guitar you could see the similarities in their early stuff and Nirvana’s popular songs. Overall the same punk-grunge style basically.
Try finding a punk rock fan in the 90s who would argue that Green Day are punk. If you did, you’d find them surrounded by a group of other angry punks insisting otherwise.
They seem to have let off sometime after American Idiot was released, but there were long, heated discussions about this back then.
FYI Green Day plays and sounds like other bands. I went to a concert of theirs where they played like six different bands and sounded just like them. They are very skilled musicians.
That was Nirvana, you know, the band that Green Day wanted to be at the start.
You’re of the opinion that the Bay-area pop-punk band wanted to be like the PNW grunge band?
Kerplunk and Bleach sound nothing alike, I think I’m misunderstanding what you meant?
Ya, not even the same genre. If you don’t like the music just say that instead of comparing them to someone else that you do like

I mean, I wouldn’t say nothing alike. The fan base certainly hugely overlaps, and they both come from a punk rock origin.

“I don’t actually know anything about music but I saw a talk show once in the 90s”
lol

Really, you must be very interested in my comments then. What’s my Reddit handle, since you know so much?
You must really not like all the things that I’m right about, have you seen a therapist about your cognitive dissonance problems?

Well if you want to talk about me, and are not brave enough to back it up, then you can have a block. Good riddance to the unworthy.
What composed the “style of music” that you feel Nirvana made popular that Green Day was imitating? Music with guitars and distortion?
I think it was all the singing with their mouths and their guitars with strings, what a bunch of biters

He wasn’t attributing the song stanza to Green Day.
Just saying it was relevant to the context of the article.
I don’t think they landed far from the mark.
They gave it their best shot.
Green day wanted to be Nirvana ? boy did they overshoot
I think Kurt Cobain was the only one doing any shooting.
