It might be the fact that I can't understand what their saying, but I do prefer bands that actually sing down the mic, rather then talk. Also Green Day never regarded themselves as punk, it was either "Pop Punk" or "Rock".

I mean as I said before at the end of the day, music is music, in my opinion if I like a track i'll download it and listen to it. The genre of the music is completely irrelevant- it's purely personal taste.

. And to be honest, =p I can't seem to understand why in Europe like Germany, Poland, France, english music sounds like singing but when it comes to people's reviews like from United States or England, our singing doesn't actually sound like we're singing but talking :/. I don't know, Im not trying to offend anyone by this but I'm just curious why is that.Phoenix wrote:Why are you generalising my post? I never said "all bands from western europe sound like their talking not singing".
You posted a link to a video of an apparent "real punk" band and also accused Green Day of being a "wannabe punk band".
I gave you my opinion on it- I didn't say they sounded crap or anything like that, but as you mentioned Green Day (a band i've actually heard of) i've said that I think Green Day sound better- which again is my opinion.
The purpose of my original post was to firstly to defend Green Day (because they aren't a bad band and I used to listen to them quite a bit a couple of years ago). Secondly, to point out that the genre of music is completely irrelevant when deciding when you like or dislike a band- it's down to personal taste. For example, I wouldn't exactly call GreenDay's song "Good Riddance" punk or rock.
Pho~
I don't accuse anyone I just let out my own opinion also about Greenday of wannabepunk. I just wanted to share vid of band that I personally admire, and that thread was much about it, I don't look forward to have fights about whats punk rock or whats not. Just said my opinion and if somehow you felt offended by it Im sorry.Phoenix wrote:I wasn't offended by your opinion at all, I just hate it when people use the word "wannabe". In my opinion a band is either punk or it's not. I'd love to hear the definition of "wannabe punk".I believe 'wannabe punk'' would be that someone is trying to cover himself or band as punk genre. But as i said, I only liked Greenday's old stuff, then they changed themselves in my opinion to worse. Hey its just an opinion so yea. However though by American Idiot I just lost taste in their music, and when I heard they called Green Day a punk band I just thought it was something opposite once I compared them to some punk bands such as Sex Pistols, The Clash etc.
Wannabe punk: When a band isn't real punk just because I don't like it...?
