green day. it's not just for posers and emo kids.

yeah. that's billie joe armstrong from green day.

i have to admit... when i first got into green day, it was because of american idiot. not meaning to bash american idiot, it's a brilliant album and laden with truth and courage.. i'm just not a fan of those people who hear some song on the radio and call themselves instant die-hard fans just when they've got a few hits. i absolutely love their old stuff, i mean... dookie and warning and international superhits were amazing. but that doesn't mean i can't like them now. they're growing, just like any artist has to . they know what's up. they get their inspiration from REAL bands like the clash, bob dylan, the ramones, the stones and the beatles! they're not some emo junkie poser band like fall out boy. ew. no. and i have to say, i'm super pumped for their new album which comes out tomorrow. oh! and plus they're environmentalists! they've joined up with NRDC, the most influential environmentalist group in the states. plus billie joe's a vegetarian... so... it's meant to be :D

they basically did what all the magazines said...

"GREEN DAY SAVES ROCK"
