HIP HOP FAN'S FIRST TIME HEARING 'Green Day - Basket Case' | GENUINE REACTION

Green Day have been well overdue on this channel. They have been suggested so much since I first reacted to this kind of music. I don't really know what genre of music I would put Green Day under but I can definitely pick out so many other bands that have a similar sound. I decided to go with Basket Case today as it seems like it is one of Green Day's popular songs. Anyway, you know the drill by now, if you have any information about Green Day that you want to throw at me then please do so in the comments. I love reading all of your comments! Also send me some more Green Day songs I need to hear, I am hoping they have plenty more that are similar to Basket Case.
Here is my reaction to hearing Green Day - Basket Case for the first time. I hope you enjoy it!

I bought the Greenday CD called Dookie in 1994 and played it over and over and now I am 50 years old and I still play it over and over. I would classify Greenday as Pop Punk

[@handsomerobnj]

Amazing album, great cover art, read the CD booklet until the print came off it.

[@kellysmith6909]

Yes, Dookie. On repeat. And American Idiot. ❤

[@nickkleiber8636]

Love Dookie just hate their so political makes me not wanna listen to them anymore!!

[@paulrodsted3905]

I did the same thing and went to see them in Sydney in the dookie tour....

As long as you listen to it all the way to the end. I mean to the point of where you're all by yourself.

[@ScrappyDoodlez]

Song is off their 1994 multi-diamond album Dookie,and they were 22.

[@mattblatchley2061]

These guys aren't my favorite...but, they have some UNDENIABLE bangers..."Boulevard of Broken Dreams" "Wake Me When September Ends" "Welcome to PAradise" "WHen I come Around" "Good Riddance"

Green Day is like a modern day punk. Came out during the Alt era. There’s quite a few cool Alternative groups from the 90s. Worth a visit

[@happymethehappyone8300]

A MUST HEAR,, Green Day "Longview" 🔥❤️

[@BLSFL_HAZE]

There's just something about those "summery pop-punk" power chords that I will love, unabashedly, for the rest of my life. Sick reaction, bro!

Green Day - so good. Listen to their American Idiot song. The American Idiot album too. Billie Joe Armstrong is the lead. Saw them in San Francisco a bunch.

[@budmaynard5952]

Keep going with Green Day but also check out Blink-182. Came out around the same time, but even crazier punk-pop sound. Blink also has an incredible drummer - Travis Barker

[@steviekc9057]

Absolutely LOVE Blink-182, but they really didn't hit until '99, prompting a slew of similiars in the early oughts like Fall Out Boy, Panic at the Disco, My Chemical Romance, and other bands with names that are way too long 😂

[@therapinape9757]

The original drummer was better 😂 Travis ruined them

[@rachel-leegeorge3374]

Saw Barker at a Hard Rock Cafe when I was a kid. My mom made a comment to him about his piercings as we passed his table. I don't remember his exact response, but I was soooo embarrassed 😂 🤣

NoFX when the stopped playing ska

[@marcwright8395]

Blink 182 and Sum 41 are gold

[@JohnMorris-c5v]

I love how they wheel the drummer in, put the sticks in his hands, he just kinda pokes at the hi-hat...and then just goes off lol

[@marciaripkowski8800]

These guys. Totally kickass. Geez, I was 30 then, married, 2 young sons. Their sound picks up influences from early punk rock scene, The Ramones, other sub genres, but there's so much more to their vibe. This tempo and the percussion, wow. 🤌

[@Malice_JW]

Had their sticker on my car in high school... class of '96. Fueled the teenage angst :)

[@angelscraftycrap]

Awesome!

[@3DJapan]

I was class of 95. I know the feeling.

[@kristyathome]

I was also class of 96, and I totally remember my best friend wearing her Dookie shirt on the regular. Loved being a teen in the 90's, such a fun time in music.

[@vincentvancraig]

as a skateboarder from about 1987 onward, we knew about green day a good few years before they "broke" & hit the big time in 1994...this album was released in feb 94 but it really blew up a few months later after the news of kurt cobain killing himself, there was this hge kind of hole for everyone....then green day's dookie album fully arrived in april, may, just as school was letting out (my senior year, 1994, the end of hugh school for me, big year, i remember it like it was yesterday) & green day was really huge, they were good music & it filled the void....it was labeled very poppy punk, but, to my mind it an extension of all tne skate rock that had been coming out of california for years at that point: NOFX, pennywise, bad religion (i dont think they were all californians), but still, i liked green day, especially this album that kind of "saved" the summer of 94 for a lot of people.....i didnt like the bands that came up in the wake of green day tho, all the stuff that was record industry cashing in, offspring, blink 182....thats just my opinion tho & it worthless....i have a few friends these days who are 10 years younger than me who love blink 182, so, ...idk, i have no opnion, just pointing out that if grunge started with nirvana, & was kind of dealt its first death blow by kurt's suicide, green day was the first appearance of this new type of "punk" that sort of took over quite a bit after that......grunge didnt die overnight, it took years, maybe until 200 until people got fully sick of it with the band creed, but, green day was a def a little bit of a shift in 90's culture, which imo, was just the rise of the whole underground cali skate rock, pop punk sound

[@JohnMorris-c5v]

Their genre could probably best be described as pop/punk. All the angst of the Sex Pistols, but still playable on pop radio

[@JetBlack45]

you have to do now Longview by Green Day, it will blow your mind!

[@SnKKS]

The bass in that song is awesome 👍

Also react to Beck song called Loser (react to the official music video) and Dave Matthews Band song called Ants Marching (react to the official music video). Molly Lad you won't regret it

[@martinwhite3559]

This is a great song. This album is a true classic. It is certified 2 times Diamond in the USA. 20 million plus albums sold. This is 1994. This is 90s Alt rock and Pop Punk. Longview, Welcome to Paradise, When I come around, Hitchin a Ride, Nice Guys Finish Last, American Idiot and Holiday are some great Green Day songs. Longview is a must listen.

[@korhansoydan]

Right after Nirvana, the scene were all grunge; Offspring and then just a little later came Greenday. This two were really good at the beginning(mid-90s). Then music and everything started to change in a more "alternative" way which also intoxicated these bands as well (2000s).

[@jduffcx]

First song I learned to play on my first guitar I bought in 1998. For me they are in the same boat as the Offspring. They rank at the top of my All Time Greatest. The rabbit hole you are about to journey down is going to blow your mind. Have fun dude! 🤘

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Green Day!!!! This is the Cd that got them popular back in the day, they brought Punk Rock into the mainstream in the 90's!!! They matured musically when they made the "American Idiot" CD!!!

[@Prone2Thrill]

These guys are the kings of writing 3 chord bangers!

[@oneysays]

Green Day has hella bangers. Definitely worth diving into

[@msod8464]

This song was on repeat between age 13-18….. and still played frequently at age 40

[@TheFingerFrame]

Most people tend to put them into either pop or punk or some sort of Pop/Punk hybrid. They are more melodic than "pure" punk and can play their instruments better, but they are also heavier than pop and usually play at much faster tempos than pop. A great band. "American Idiot" is an awesome album to dive into as well.

[@terrahatch5861]

Saw these guys in concert back in the day. Then took my daughter a year ago! They are still great! I'm so glad your generation enjoys our music! We enjoyed our parents music too 😁

[@mindyhorton4288]

I went with my son (22 years old) to see Green Day last month in Arlington Texas. They played for two and a half hours. It's the 20th anniversary of their album American Idiot, and the 30th anniversary of Dookie. They played both albums , and more. Was a kick ass concert. Billie Joe still has it.

Born in 1987. Listened to whatever my parents and sisters listened to. Then I saw this video on MTV, and… it was like a switch flipped in my brain.

[@dannycasson1551]

The group Green Day was huge and still is! Billy Armstrong is the crux of this band with his songwriting as well as vocals and guitar. I saw them live with the Offspring and Blink182 at an outdoor amphitheater during the Summer many years ago. I still have fond memories...

[@smg5288]

An absolute defining song of our generation. It didn’t matter what group you fit into, or your primary genre of music. We were all 90s grunge kids giving ourselves the creeps when this came on. ❤

[@birdman14]

I was 11 when I first heard this song back in '94, and it is still amazing 30 years later. Dookie is such a classic album.

[@ShadowRyu]

GreenDay's "Rookie" is one of the rare albums where literally EVERY song is an absolute banger. "When I come around" and "welcome to paradise" are 10/10 for sure

[@stephanx2384]

I remember listening to this 30 years ago in the car of a friend while we were drifting in the snow, smokin it up and having our own green day 🥦

[@gnosis6073]

I was still in high school when this came out and is forever linked in my head to spin doctors two princes from the same era and vibe. This song never gets old.

[@stephenSchwarz]

I just saw them live for the first time after being a fan since 1994 when I was 12. They were amazing.

[@geoffadavis]

I think they were labeled as pop punk. Just about every song on their album Dookie is good. If you are interested in rock/rap then you definitely need to go down the Beastie Boys rabbit hole. I would recommend Shake Your Rump, So Watcha Want, Sabotage, Paul Revere, No Sleep Til Brooklyn, Brass Monkey, Rhymin and Stealin, The New Style, Intergalactic, and Pass the Mic just to name a few.

[@danieleldon7195]

I'm not a Green Day fan but if I was gonna listen to one it would be "Brain Stew".

[@padenj420]

But, if you do react to it, Brain Stew is meant to be immediately followed by Jaded, so it should be a full reaction to both.

[@henryevenson8152]

Gets you all pumped up. So many great eras in rock music.

[@artficermedia]

My dad bought 'Dookie' on cassette tape in 1994. When he picked me up from school, I vividly remember hearing 'Basket Case' for the first time in the car and feeling oddly awe struck on the way home. I didn't really like admitting to enjoying any type of music, or identifying with any style in general at the time (only 8 years old); but as soon as I started listening to Dookie, sifting through the album art, it was the first album I could truly identify with both the songs and the art style. Core foundations that made me a drummer and a photographer that I am today. Great memories. I know the song is short, but I am certain you will enjoy the rest of the album!

[@bubsmomma]

Do You Know Your Enemy is my all-time fave. The lyrics are poetic and the energy is off the chain

[@Bekka_Noyb]

ALL time classic punk rock song! dbl ♥

[@matts5948]

I had the pleasure of being at the concert at which the album Bullet in a Bible was recorded at the Milton Keynes Bowl there were more than 130,000 people there and there is a live DVD of it, they are a fantastic band live and invited young musicians on the stage then gifted them instruments, I felt sorry for the drummer who only got drumsticks while the others got guitars. Amazing day with quite a few other bands playing before Green Day.

[@annecerniglia5693]

Saw them in concert 2 years ago and they still fucking rock

[@christieowens7364]

Went to a green day concert 7 years ago, sitting at a red light to go in the stadium. Jerk slammed into us , knocking us into next lane. Totalled my suv, was going to be my son's first concert. Went to concert, made sure his first was awesome, and they rocked. Great time, a little ptsd when their explosion went off. But my son had a great time. Nuff said ❤ keep on listening, it's a story of history in it's best way.

[@KikiMonsta1226]

I started high school in 1991 and watching you react to a lot of the music I listened to in my youth is definitely nostalgic. Where's my NIN though? Downward Spiral was life changing for me.

[@suemoore6445]

Been 3,000 miles visiting twin granddaughters on their 8th birthdays. Trying to catch up on your reactions. I love Green Day. Love this one like all of your reactions. They’re in their 50s now but still rock it with their unique sound. In the mid 2000s, the leader singer/guitarist/and music & lyric creator, Billy Joe Armstrong (considered one of best punk guitarist), compiled Green Day’s songs into a musical “American Idiot” that played to rave reviews for a year on Broadway in New York City. He and his 2 bandmates are from the Bay Area in Northern California just like I am. They’re another rabbit whole for you to go down. Love from one of your California grandmas. ❤️

[@richardcarle786]

Now you gotta hear the whole dookie album! It's always been a desert island album to me. If I was stuck on an island with only so many albums to listen to this might have to be one...do more Dookie!

I was 8 when this song released. It’s one of the many that’s the soundtrack to my childhood .

Saw Greenday in concert in Bonner Springs, Ks this past August. They played for almost 3 hours with virtually no break. Fantastic! I’m 69 and my son got me hooked on them when he brought home the Dookie CD in 1994. He actually bought the concert tickets for me for Father’s Day.

[@curlygal7315]

I just went to Green Day’s Concert celebrating the 30th anniversary of this album “ Dookie” and 20 year anniversary of “ American Idiot” album where they played the whole albums! The Smashing Pumpkins played as well celebrating their 30th anniversary of their double album “ Mellon collie and the Infinite Sadness”, a great album as well… Dookie is a classic album there’s non” skip” songs on it you can listen to the whole thing. Great Concert! It was about a 6 hour concert… 4 bands.. the Linda-Linda’s, Rancid ( classic punk band), Smashing Pumpkins ( always rock the house), and of course Green Day ( kicked ass) had a great show.. played like they are still in their 20’s it’s amazing to witness! Definitely go down the Green Day and Smashing Pumpkins rabbit hole!

[@MyFlipperLikesIce]

Oh, I could give you ALL the information 😂 I was so obsessed with them in the 90s. My town just gave them the keys to the city, there was a plaque & a mural at the 7-11 (center of the earth in the parking lot of the 7-11) the plaque got stolen like the next day & they painted over the mural (that the members signed) that was the coolest thing this town ever had! My older sister is just a year younger than Billie so they went to Pinole Valley High School at the same time.

[@Kitty956]

I still vividly remember the first time I heard this. My brothers best friend had a copy of Dookie on tape (yes I am old) and I went past his room while they were listening to it. I was hooked immediately and he kindly lent me the tape to copy. I listened to it so much I wore it out. Go deep in to the rabbit hole on this one. You will not be sorry.

[@arcanewyrm6295]

Here we go! There are DOZENS of great songs from Green Day! This is just the tip of the iceberg! While definitely rock, they've generally been classified as "pop-punk" or alternative rock. Can't wait to see where THIS journey takes you! Also - as someone with interest in learning guitar, songs like this one would be right up your alley to learn to play them. All power chords, and not many of them. Very, very easy to play, as is most of their stuff - just like The Offspring. Especially if you just want to rip through a heavy-ish song just rocking that rhythm first part, this is a GREAT place to start!

[@andimetrum]

Brotha… you are a punk rocker. Me too. Thats why you feel this. Dig deeper and enjoy. It is the music of freedom.

[@sherreecasusol1448]

Lol! I am loving watching your reaction. I am at your first rewind and I’m betting that this will be my favorite of your videos. I knew that you would love Greenday, especially after watching your Offspring reactions! Also in this genre you should check out Blink182 and My Own Worst Enemy by Lit. I love the energy from this type of music.
