They're usually tagged as 'pop-punk'.

It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

i think they were a bridge between genuine west coast power-pop punk and the poserish stuff that came after them. i don't TOTALLY dismiss them, but i blame billie joe armstrong for launching the careers of a million nasally, snot-nosed lead vocalists.

before the mall punk thing exploded, i thought green day was kind of a social distortion tribute act. lol then when all the mall punk stuff happened, it's like they were green day tribute acts. it was all rather silly.

nod It's complete comedy when most people who dig this musical element probably know nothing about the Real Punk Movement as a whole. If you ask them who is the Ramones, they'll look at you like you stole something.

Maybe during the first couple of albums they were inclined to resurrect Punk, but they certainly were never Grunge. Now that they're selling millions and winning Grammies and shit, they're considered Pop.



And for the record, Green Day does not suck.

If U die before U try,
U'll have 2 come back and face the light.
When U believe it, U got a good reason 2 cry.
