Are they really? noticed their current wardrobe?

Im not saying I dont like their music, they just seem to he leading this new "emo" look thing.

Im a closet blink fan, Ill admit, liked them since the beginning and was sad to hear the news of their hiatus, but they did turn into posers.

I love the new Green Day video, pitty about the shitty song it goes along to

Just to clear a few things up. linkin park are absolutely emo.

Green Day. not only fucking emo as, but also the complete oposite to the ideals of the movement they so want to be part of: Punk.
late 70s early 80s punk was thriving, a movement that supported untalented musicians playing shit they thort sounded good and shitty equipment in seedy bars and garages. Punks hated "epic" bands suck as pink floyd and led zep because of the massive ticket places and "epicness" of using string orchestras and long songs for the sake of it.

Green day were good back in the day of international superhits and the like. Now green day have reinvented themselves and subscribed to the steriotypical epic band they opposed. they charge massive prices for concerts, have string ochetra backing and fucking rediculously long and expensive video clips. the songs have changed from up beat ruff tunes to depressive cutty, produced and polished "singles". and just to be "cool" they put in an element of politics to pretend they are trying to send a mesage to their fans, when their true intensions are to rape the fans of their cash and to bend over for record companies, they are pop and emo faggots. i hope their plane crashes into the amazon rain forrest and they are raped in the anus by an undiscovered species of primate.

I've never especially cared whether Green Day were really part of the punk movement or not. I loved Green Day before I knew anything about rock at all, let alone punk. Now that I do know a bit about punk, I find that Green Day don't really live up to those ideals, but I don't especially care. I just like them independently of rational reasons.

International Superhits came way late in their career, at a time when I believe all their new music was shit. I loved Dookie, some songs from Nimrod, but anything else up to the time of Superhits was lousy. Even if the new stuff isn't 'punk', it got me listening to Green Day again. Songs like "Jesus of Suburbia" - with several brief 2-minute bursts - seem a pretty good marriage between their old style and more 'grown up' rock. The politics I can take or leave.

Green Day.
When I was a young whippersnapper (read: 14) we used to listen to the older albums like dookie. some of those songs form the anthems and memories to my teenage years and fuck how awesome! they werent in the charts, and now im going to show my ignorance and say i dont know if it was because the albums we listened to or whether they were an alternative band. but anyway, whenever it was they realised whatever song it was (read: i have just done an exam not doing specifics) i was like this aint the green day i know love and remember! their music now sounds kinda generic and watered down the kind of thing that is watered down for the masses. so its neither punk or emo as far as i see it, b/c the two have quite distinct sounds.

i hate linkin park.

ummm, what does emo stand for :D

Lol, dont get everyone started :P
