I don't see it

Uses pop hooks, pop lyrics, is definitely more "emo" in terms of its audience, slower paced.

I see it more fast paced, in some parts.

How is it emo?

Song titles, lyrics, even album titles. 21st Century Breakdown is pretty much by far the best example. Most of them have different themes to the older ones that specifically attract a certain audience in particular (I'm not including you in that group, don't worry).

Which songs?

Heaviest/punkiest song I could think of on 21CB - compare to Platypus, etc.

Which songs?

Viva Gloria, Last Of American Girls, Restless Heart Syndrome, Last Night On Earth, 21 Guns (musically), See The Light, American Eulogy, and several other (it's a huge album:P) songs feature any of the elements I described.

I love most of those.

American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown are amazing. Rest is meh to blah.

I do love Minority also though. My face of anything else they've done.

Lol, pretty much true for me too.. except Metallica and Megadeth came after I got into other music that came after GD. Oh timelines.

They're pretty decent, theres better out there but theres also worse

It's also fun to cover American Idiot on a prank call

Loved all the heavy/ electric remakes of there acoustic songs they did for Bullet in a Bible..

To bad they didnt make studio releases of them..

I was never big on Green Day. I was pretty much brought up on shredder rock, Rob Dougan, and some alt-pop/rock (Coldplay, Radiohead, Muse). Then I got into Megadeth, and then Carcass, then Morbid Angel, and then it only got heavier :P

I liked Green Day in high school. Still crave their poppy hooks every now and again. They're not a punk band, though. There's simply no agression.

Real punk:

I have to admit that I liked this song... and part of me still does today, along with most of their older stuff, newer stuff, not so great.
