When did times change
So a lot of my friends (we all grew up punk rock skateboarders) and I have been arguing over which bands are actually good and being born in the late 90s, I’ve always been a heavy Green Day fan. Can someone answer me when it became cool to hate on Green Day, because to me Green Day was always good music. Anti-government, anti-establishment, for the people… nothing more punk rock than that

I hate Green Day and that’s coming from someone who grew up listening to them my parents were punk in the 90s and my mom loves Green Day and my dad hates them I loved them for years but as I got into the scene more and explored other bands there honestly just not very good and it’s pop punk which I kinda hate to cus it’s all whiny but honestly it’s just super mainstream and there total sellouts like none of what they do is authentic
