Punk fans can be so fucking stupid, seriously
Whether you want to call it pop-punk, hardcore punk, horror punk or whatever, it still all comes from the same roots and it’s still fucking punk rock
I don’t fully understand the whole “Green Day isn’t punk” argument. Just because they don’t look or sound exactly like Black Flag or The Germs? These guys still grew up listening to bands like these, going to punk rock clubs and eventually playing at punk rock clubs. Their music is just a much more commercialised and big-budget version of punk rock, which really isn’t such a bad thing (mainstream doesn’t always mean bad, some people don’t seem to be able to grasp that concept)
But yeah chill, whatever lol, I don’t want to sound like an annoying 14 year old Green Day fan. Because as much as I do love Green Day, the fanbase sucks
