Bad opinions • Page 904

Yeah that was bit poorly phrased and not really what I actually think. Really, i just think both groups sound horrifically uninspired, but again, that’s an opinion and you’re allowed to disagree with me.

 

its funny because green day is possibly the best example of why that mentality is wrong

 

green day lost me in the last 10ish years or so. dont care much about anything they do now and surely not paying 100+ to go to a show but cant get mad at a 1 in a million band for working their way up, striking a fortune making music and capitalizing on it.

honestly mark is maybe the best frontman of all time

 

Which one is Mark

 

Quoting for reasons.

 

Replace Billie Joe with Mark McGrath

 

green day’s arc from dookie to american idiot is objectively artistically incredible (21st century breakdown is my favorite but i’m not including it bc i don’t want to start a fight)

i think i get disappointed when artists i love totally lose direction. i know that arcs and progressions are actually illusions but if you listen to the trilogy you can just hear a band not quite knowing what to do with themselves lol

 

Any band worth a damn has to try things, and sometimes that means they try things that don’t quite come off. I’d argue that Revolution Radio was them finding it again after the messy experiment of the trilogy.

 

me too, but I know that’s my problem, not theirs lol

 

this is on brand

 

The OP, replies and just about everything related to this tweet might be the worst thing I’ve seen in a month or two

 

Nate Mendel and Julian are both problematic lol

 

Social media is exhausting

 

Man, is there some way I can make sure I never interact with anyone in this tweet thread?

 

I don't know how people go through their life thinking like that. Must be exhausting.

 

At that point, it’s just blatantly performative. Desperation to show that you’re “one of the good ones.” Which SO often feels like they doth protest too much.

 

Did I really just read that the Foo Fighters are AIDS deniers lol

 

what

 

I refuse to actually read it

 

I can't decide if their former AIDS denialism is something almost no one remembers/knows about or if it's been repeated enough now and it just feels like no one knows.

 

Just the bassist and he tricked the rest into playing a benefit gig then they were like oops my bad

 

I did not know there are AIDS deniers but of course there are

 

If it exists, there are people that say it doesn't. See: slave trade deniers

 

From now on I deny the existence of the common cold

 

yeah those people exist too
