It's depressing isn't it. To think they have gone from albums like Dookie and Kerplunk to American Idiot, which has got to be one of the most generic and cliched albums around. 'I know lets dress all in black and paint our nails to attract millions of pre-teen girls. Then we will use generic lyrics from an idiots guide to punk and tell everyone how stupid politicians are and how capatilist America is etc etc to give us that bad boy, rebellious image. Then we can play our crappy songs to the most pretentious videos we can think of to make them appear deep and intelligent. That will make us even more money, who cares if it means we have to be about as fake as pam andersosn tits'
Johnny Rotten summed them up quite nicely 'So there we are fending off all that and it pisses me off that years later a wank outfit like Green Day hop in and nick all that and attach it to themselves. They didn't earn their wings to do that and if they were true punk they wouldn't look anything like they do'
Feck off Greenday.
