I'm just going to say it. Green Day sucks.
Am I the only one who DOESN'T think the Green Day is sooooooo amazing???
I don't get why all the critics love them so much. All of their songs sound the same. How is that possible for a band that's been around for just over 20 years? Is that the answer right there? That their longevity is tied to the consistency of their sound?
With the exception of Dookie, which tapped into the 90s atmosphere of teen angst and apathy, and American Idiot, which elevated the band to a full-on political band, I don't think all this critical acclaim is justified.
And now, they've got a documentary coming out in March called Awesome as F**k. How did we get here?
I don't mean any disrespect to Green Day. I like them and all. But, the hype is just too much.
