I'm pretty sure Blink-182 doesn't "hate" Green Day. There's even a picture of Mark Hoppus wearing a *Kerplunk* shirt in the early 90's. And Mike Dirnt gave him one of his basses when he had cancer. Johnny Rotten just dislikes *everything.*

Noel Gallagher and His brother Liam are nothing but a couple of crying dysfunction drama soap opera Kings have been spending too much time drinking in pubs thinking that they can beat The Beatles which they can't. Blur sounds way better than Oasis. I don't care what Oasis said and neither what Johnny Rotten and The Sex Pistols said. I love Green Day and Blur.

[@seanmckelvey6618]

I find it funny that John Lydon talks about how Green Day is some big, corporate sell-out band when the Pistols were about as manufactured as you can get in "punk". They've been given the sole credit for a genre that already existed before them, and that others have done better. I wouldn't say I'm a huge Green Day fan either, but it's a bit hypocritical for the singer of group of major label circus clowns that was the Sex Pistols to be speaking as if he was in Black Flag or something.

[@cooperminion825]

Plus, he's very anti-lgbtq+. Also, the Pistols and Green Day came from completely different times and places. The punk scene in England during the 70s was much more abrasive than the one taking place across the pond. Both scenes wanted change but they wanted it in different ways. England was aimed at the 18+ crowd and focused on anarchy. America, however, was more youth oriented and focused on playing fast and loud while telling authority figures to fuck off When Green Day got started, it was a whole new era with the birth of MTV. You could see concerts from your home, bands now put out music videos to promote their singles, and you learn how to own the stage from watching your idols. It also gave kids exposure to new music genres that weren't as popular at the record stores. Plus, Green Day came from the East Bay area of California which had a much friendlier environment with the famous 924 Gilman Street, an ALL AGES punk club

[@iancrowley420]

And yeah, the Green Day song has the same "around the world" chord progression that "Wonderwall" has but "Wonderwall" has the same "around the world" chord progression every other song has. Check out "Alive" by Pearl Jam- the chorus. Check out "Man In a Box" by Alice in Chains. Again, the chorus. The melodies to both songs are completely different so Green Day's song is not the same as yours, Noel. And to be fair I think "Wonderwall" is a much better song but don't tell me Billy Joe's melody is the same as your duotone based melody. That's you in a nutshell- duotone melodies and duotone solos.

[@Itelkner]

@@pollosantamaria No such thing as a punk boy band - that's a dancepop concept. The Pistols were originally formed in 1972 by Steve Jones and Paul Cook - band members - and their mate Wally Nightingale. Bassist and songwriter Glen Matlock joined in '73 and John Lydon in '75. They were a rock n roll band that later in '76 got tagged punk in the British press. The term "boy band" didn't even exist until the nineties. Nothing to do with the Pistols.

[@TheJoyrunners]

@@Itelkner Thank you for correcting that. People always bring up this narrative about the Pistols, but it’s just not true. Malcolm McLaren tried really hard to make this narrative stick, and he was pretty successful.

[@Itelkner]

@@TheJoyrunners Yes, you're welcome. Malcolm's re-telling of the story stuck in a lot of people's heads. Thing is, the music developed before the image and the chaos came. That album was highly influential on many. All the biggest rock acts that came later - U2, Guns N' Roses, Nirvana, Metallica, Oasis, Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Green Day, Pearl Jam plus a ton of underground bands - ALL cite "Never Mind the Bollocks" as a HUGE musical influence on them. And it's down to the power of the music and the excitement they generated in 1976 BEFORE the craziness and chaos came. Glen's Small Faces-influenced songs were amazingly well-written and anthemic. Lydon's lyrics, presence, and attitude - amazing, Steve's monstrous slashing guitar sound that only he can quite get. And the sheer power and tightness they had as a unit live. Those are the things that established them and drove their success - before the press craziness of 1977, starting with the Bill Grundy show.

I love that blink was just minding their own business making the music that they wanted to make, which is the entirety of punk doing what you want no matter what anyone else thinks. That's the definition of punk, making your own way. Then Green Day became what thet fought against for years, the same over zealous critics gate keeping punk away from the rising star that adds more pop elements to the genre. It's cannon that Green Day is the Anakin Skywalker of punk/pop punk lol. They were supposed to destroy the shitty elitist, yet they became them.

That kind of goes against everything the great proto-punk bands like the MC5, Dolls, The Stooges sort of stood for and represented. There wasn't anything safe and family-friendly about traveling down through downtown Detroit in the mid-late 1960's in a very edgy, violent part of one of America's most deadliest, crime-ridden cities and a city that in the summer of 1967, experienced one of the worst race riots in U.S. history that killed 43 people(33 of them African-Americans), caused hundreds of millions of dollars in damage, exerserbated and accelerated the exodus of upper/middle-class whites and blacks from the city to suburbs like Pontiac, Smithfield, and Eight Mile, precipitated a long and painful social, economic and population decline of a city that used to be one of America's wealthiest, progressive and most diverse demographics in the nation. If one visited the old, demolished Grande Theater and saw the MC5, the house band, it was like watching controlled, musical chaos erupting on-stage every night. It felt to many like a musical Revolution was occuring alongside a political one.

I wouldn't call it a resurgence persay, it's just that the band swiftly evolved to match the rising change in how the sound of music in general was changing. Green Day changed with the times and evolved, as where the Sex Pistols were terrible people in their interviews, treated their fans like sh**, and never evolved their sound just for the sake of their own egos. Third Eye Blind was never even a band worth listening to. My guess was Salazar just wanted to throw that beer bottle at the nearest person available, knowing they were replacing his 1 hit wonder garage band on the charts. P.S. @4:03 NOFX waddup!! Facts are facts, Dirnt speaks the holy word! I just sat and listened to Wonderwall and Boulevard back to back to see where the idea the song was ripped off comes from. I hear the guitars are tuned the same buuuuuttt... to call Boulevard a rip off of Wonderwall is like saying Apples stole all their flavor from oranges..
