@@sealogic4552 there are plenty of cost effective quality guitars. It’s all about the skill the player possess.

@@SplendidCoffee0 I definitely agree that the player has a greater effect on the experience of hearing a guitar than the instrument itself, but my point is really more that you’ll need to put up some money for a high-quality instrument. I have a $600 Fender that I love to death, but it requires a lot more maintenance, makes a lot more noise, and doesn’t hold tuning as well as my $1800 ESP.

I understand you, I wasn't _that_ much into them but watching a band that was part of my teenage years do something like that gives me massive schadenfreude
For a REALLY AWESOME popish punk band, check out The Fastbacks. Hailing from Seattle, the Fastbacks' albums contain some of the greatest music made on this side of the pond since the Temptations and the Beach Boys. Kim Warnick was the David Ruffins of her genre with the Queen sensibilities of Kurt Block and the harmonies of Lulu Gargiulo as well as a plethora of drummers, the Fastbacks made several albums from the late 80's to the mid 90's, and if you like them, go further with Guided By Voices who are like pop-punk on opioids.
Honestly I find it really hard to be believe that Billie and Co are this far out of touch. I'm hoping that they had some great ideas that were really poorly executed. I said this in another comment but this is what I pictured of Green Day album. Titled... "Relevant?Boomers?" Or "PunkBoomer Rock" with a strikethrough the Punk part and a bunch of angry men doing boomer poses to a bunch of super progressive millennials/soybois with pink hair, the triggered LGBTQ lady and Greta Thunberg.

Fun fact: for a band that claims to be "100% pure rock" (a stunt Queen used to do back in late 70's/early 80's with a stick on their albums that said "no synths on this ROCK album") this last album was so heavily overproduced -Tré's drums could have been played in a 808- and dehumanized that the irony is heavy.
"No Swedish songwriters." Why do they have a problem with Max Martin? They might not like pop music, but you can't diss Max Martin. The man is a powerhouse songwriter, he's written 23 number 1 hits. You can't argue with results.
Like most songwriters now he writes lyrics that read like they written by 12 year old girls. The fact that he has written 23 number 1 hits tells you how awful people's musical tastes have become in the last 20+ years and how they accept absolute garbage as good music.
To the two replies above: people have different music taste. There’s no such thing as objectively “good music.” I currently loathe a lot of the top songs right now, but I don’t pretend my taste is somehow superior to all others. All it means is my preferences are different, just like yours.
@@davidkeener5063 Yeah, that's why I say that. I produce Future Bass as a solo artist, and I know how hard it is to write a song at all, much less a hit, I have nothing but respect for Max Matin, as is evidenced by my original comment

"that's so creeng bro u don't even know how could you not know that you posted creeng bro, my cock is HUUUUUUUUUUGE" -the caliber of people who overuse 'cringe'
Okay, “kids,” here’s the truth. EVERY generation talks shit about the previous generation. And every generation rebells against the previous generations. Always has, always will.
Umm..well..no not really. See..90s kids embraced the 80s era and sure we bitched about our parents generation, but now have also embraced it as a nostalgic memory of when we were growing up. The 2000s brought some riff..but not much. I think the biggest turn was when Gen Y (because thats what we were originally) suddenly became "Millenials" and basically started lumping true 90s Gen Y w 2000s kids as a whole. And we are pissed. And not just cuz we are basically being shoved in w the era where music, tv and all that fantastic "kids growing up" stuff died, but also because "Millenials" became a negative term for everything gone wrong. Which infact we Gen Y have nothing to do with..its all late 2000s and Gen Z.
I think the rock fandom is falling into the same rut as the country fandom. Holding on to a sounds from a past specific time that defined the genre, but unreceptive to new interpretations. The rock charts are just more pop and hip hop infused right now with honorable folk references. Heavier stuff just isn't getting up there as much.
@Tom Ffrench back when i was a teen, rock was up. Lots of people listened, lots of bands were releasing albums and going in the charts. That doesnt happens anymore, i fear. Of course there are lots of people who still listen to rock, there are lots of people who listen to Bach, Vivaldi, Mozart too. But none of these genres are living their climax. Rock was hyped from 50's to 2000's, but after that it decreased a lot. At least, that's how i see the situation.
Rocks not dead, just not mainstream. Though a lot or underground stuff, especially from the England Indie scene kicks ass. Mixing new sounds with old sound, but keeping the energy and edge.
As a hard rock fan I get so embarrassed whenever rock radio stations or bands like Green Day over here have this inferiority complex and start comparing themselves to whatever's trendy like 'we cooler because this and that'. Other genres don't go around proclaiming 'listen to us we don't have loud guitars or sing about death' they just live and let live as far as their marketing goes. Fuck's sake GD, y'all already look like adults dressed up in their kids' clothes and have for years now, you really don't need to give the world more reason to cringe at you.
A major problem with punk rock transitioning into mainstream music like Greenday is that the social and political commentary of the genre had to be blunted in order to appeal to a wider audience. Pop Punk can't express existential dread about capitalism when it's literally the force that makes it popular, so they have to take that angst and interpret it as adolescent pain. Selling the idea that your teenage anxiety is both unique and a common phase. It helps kids cope with cultural alienation, but it isolates people into thinking that our problems are only caused by emotional expressions and leaves us unequipped to notice systematic forms of oppression (something that the original punk scene tried to spread awareness of)
Why express an unfairness that the one who writes songs doesn't get notoriety in your lyrics when you can simply flex the idea that you make your own songs in your marketing.
@Tony catt "Not all punks against capitalism" sure, but that doesn't change the simple fact the genre was created as a response to rock becoming too established in advertisements and social elites. Only reason punk even exists is because enough people where sick of how commercialized rock became. Doesn't matter what you want to call it, doesn't change the fact that overproduced music created by multi billion dollar corporations had an effect in creating a schism in a genre of music. Or that during the schism millions of youth where forced into a war with the help of old Elvis-esk rock idols to sell the idea of patriotism.
@Tony catt a punk who's not against capitalism is the same thing of a fish who's against being inside water, punk comes from anarchism, and anarchism is inherently anti-capitalist
@Tony catt if you're afraid of socialism, at no point I've said punk is socialist, punk is anarchist, 2 different left wing groups that actually fight all the time, both are anti-capitalism but socialism aims for a initial phase of change through heavy government and closed borders, while anarchism aims for a society controlled solely by citizens and no frontiers, anarchism is inherently against authority so anarchists wouldn't approve of a heavy government like in socialism, and punk was molded by anarchism, so it's againts authority and inequality, this conformity of a hive mind they're against comes from authoritarian and/or class based systems. Now it's true that some punks ain't anarchists, Joey Ramone for example supported Reagan and Ian Curtis supported Tatcher, but those types of guys are usually the butt joke of the community.
So interesting story about Billie joe and the I heart music show. I was working at the venitian at a French restaurant in Vegas. The night of that concert Green Day came up to the bistro, nicest people in the world but we brought Billie probably 12 drinks in like 2 hours and he was fucking hammered. Like singing his own songs at the bar as “warm ups” just being wild and the life of the party. They gave out tickets to the managers and to servers and took pics and left(Billie was like slurring his words super bad when they left) Well I then get a notification on my phone later that day “Billie joe Armstrong of Green Day melts down on stage in Vegas, cancels remaining shows and is going to rehab” shit blew my mind lol so I am the one who brought him his drinks that night lol but I’m just a food runner I wasn’t gonna try and cut a rockstar off haha I think it was like 2014 but I still feel bad
Supplemented Health yea it’s pretty fucked to overserve someone. It doesn’t matter if they’re famous or not, that’s dangerous. Your managers should be ashamed
Supplemented Health and you obviously don’t understand the law. You (bartenders) can be charged too if a drunk driver kills someone because you over-served them. But keep telling yourself that it’s all cool.
@@BeautflDisaster4 I'm sure many people involved in the punk and punk pop music scene would have benefited greatly from your sober advice, they just didn't know!! There's a phrase more commonly associated with rock music, and art in general than "diligent adherence to responsible behavior". It's: "wild and excessive self-indulgence to the point of self-destruction". Yes, if all artists behaved more responsibly, things would be different. Can't argue with that. And art might be improved if it were created by Karens and hall monitors and people who were diligently responsible. But probably not.
I have to admit part of me died seeing this title, even though I totally get your meaning. I'm a Xennial (born Sept '81) and I suffer from daily terrors that I'll unironically go 'how do you do fellow kids' at some point in the near future.
@@mabusestestament that is true. Some of use prefer to be called by our sub generation because we feel people born in the 80's, especially the early 80's, grew up very differently then those born in the 90's. Xennial is a combination of Gen X and Millennial.
I mean, there’s a difference between growing up and just doing a 180 on your morals. Also, it’s not like they weren’t already adults in their early career 😅
During Uno Dos Tre, Billie found a setting on his microphone that made him sound a certain way and now he wont turn it off! And it shows during nearly every track on Revolution Radio
I remember when Revolution Radio came out, my old job (a "barbershop" chain) had a raffle to win a vinyl copy of the album. Several people entered, not a ton, but this young kid was so hopeful to win. He actually won and on his next appointment, when we gave it to him, he was so happy. So even though I'm not the biggest Green Day fan anymore, everytime I hear a song, I get happy
@@Rountree1985 yeah they were in bakersfield like ten years a go rehearsing for a world tour they rented our arena to practice i worked for him hes a douche but im only a youtube comenter soo
This is so sad. Green Day was so close to my heart. A key part of my angsty youth. I too had every album up to 21st Century Breakdown. Something changed tho. It's also quite ironic. They may very well be dealing with being irrelevant now when honestly, the song American Idiot, has never been more relevant then what it is now.
You underestimate the simple-mindedness of people who invent and circulate internet slang. Boomer's pretty much a catch-all for "anyone older than 30" at this point. I'm positive that half the people who throw that word around wouldn't even be able to identify the age range of the _actual_ baby boomer generation without Googling it.
That's is actually my favorite album, I listened to that shit so much, is quite hard to like anything after American Idiot, and to be really honest even American Idiot itself is not that great.
On Gilman St, it wasn't just Green Day. They didn't allow anyone signed to a major label to play there. The whole point of the venue was to promote independent/DIY bands and artists.
@@xumit How do you know it had to be approved by them? You're aware that record labels, even for big names like Green Day, regularly take marketing matters (and several other matters, but I won't get into that) into their own hands without even bothering to consult the artists, right? That's kind of been a legendarily persistent problem with the legacy record label industry.
"About nothing and everything all at once" when you get bands that are successful and all that good shit, but still try to do that radio friendly shit to get "better reviews"
Let’s be honest. Even our favorite bands/ artists have all made things we don’t like. 🤷🏻♀️ this album may suck but they still have amazing music so eh.. it happens
@@boop6169 For the Cat Empire? Yeah, their earlier albums had a ska and reggae touch which is what drew me to them, but they moved on to Latin Jazz, and later albums all have a different character which has been great so far. Streetlight Manifesto is ska punk with every album being better than the previous one IMO. Well, not counting the cover album anyway since, well, it's not their songs haha.
This here boomer will NOT be adhering to the "no Swedish songwriters" rule, since doing so would preclude me from attending that Opeth/Graveyard concert next week.
I get that their whole energy about their music is somewhat defensible given their age, but at the same time this is a band that's remained pretty creatively stagnant since 2004. Sure, they've had a return to some form with tracks like X-Kid and Revolution Radio, but tracks like that are insanely few and far between. And even then, it's like they've been stuck in some sort of reverse hyperbolic time chamber where they still think that singing about breakups and being a teenager is somehow... appropriate? For lack of a better word. It's not that those sorts of problems are invalid, everybody goes through that and there's mass appeal, I get that. But when the time came, they've never really stepped up to the plate and pushed their own envelope past American idiot. So much of their music in the last 10 years sounds like they're shuffling the deck or running in place. I know they're capable of tackling issues like depression, addiction, and anxiety, but they have an extreme tendency to shy away from that entirely now. And the musical package they envelope a lot of topics in that they cover currently doesn't hit the right notes. It seems disingenuous and emotionally bankrupt. It's sad to see considering 25 and 15 years ago, these guys had their hand on the pulse of an entire generation. Shame.
datriplem I said one of the last aha, I actually wanted to add an addendum for bands that stopped before they could fuck up and stayed popular going into the reunion
It also sounds like the kind of inoffensive, generic 21st century rock that would be in a Gillette advert. I really hope that they've just been waiting for their contract to end and will make some decent music soon.
I don't see any problem with it. Does that make me a boomer? 100% pure uncut rock just means no fluff, no bells and whistles. No Swedish Songwriters means it's written by the actual band members, just like their earlier work. No trap beats means we won't have any crap put in to appeal to the latest 5-minute trend followers. No features is the same kind of thing, they don't need to put some name on it just to appeal to new people.
13:30 - Releasing a bad, contractually-obligated album to troll their record company is precisely what Bob Dylan did with "Self Portrait". Also, to be a devil's advocate, wouldn't a legacy rock act using Max Martin and trap beats be the far more "How do you do, fellow kids?" gesture?
Can't say I'm a huge punk fan but I've always seen Green Day as the Disturbed of Punk. Sure they're popular but they don't really come across as the genre they advertise as.
I feel like Green Day have always been hated and most of the time for no reason. Like with Warning people just didn't like the change, even tho it was progressive for them and a pretty good album imo. But since the trilogy I feel like they've kept taking miss steps that they deserve to be called out for (maybe not this harshely, but still). While I hope they'll comeback with a truly good album, I also feel like it's not gonna happen and that it would sadly be better to just break-up the band. But I just love old Green Day so much!
I love this video and I feel like your points are very similar to points I have on new fall out boy. They’ve been out for half the time but are still developing sad boomer energy
I like all the nuance in this video and all the research put into it. It's not so much a rant as a thoughtful dissection that takes great pains not to overextend or overgeneralise or be unduly harsh.
I love the new album. You either get them, or you don't.🤷♀️ They are the same guys they've always been and there's nothing wrong with that. Growing up doesn't mean you change who you are, you just learn how to act differently in different situations. You're still you at the end of the day...
I really like the title track / single. Sounds a bit like something The Black Keys would have come out with. I also have no nostalgia for Green Day outside of American Idiot though so there's that
the sweedish songwriter comment isn't racist it's do to the fact the britney, christina, & now kpop use sweedish writers. they're trying to say how "not pop" they are when in reality they got in on the poppiest punk. they Are pop.
Classic Punk is dead, it's not respected anymore all the classic bands sound like stock generic "rock" car commercial songs, at least MCR is back let's hope for the best... On the other hand metal is alive and kicking
This is why Iron Maiden is objectively the most wholesome band. Those guys were BORN boomer. They were making music for boomers before 'boomer' was a meme. They've never had a downfall because they embodied that kind of energy from the start, so when they do boomer shit it's just good ol' classic Maiden that you know and love.
Gun to my head, Green Day is probably my favorite band. I'm probably categorized as a boomer. I started listening to them when they released Kerplunk. I've tried sticking with them since American Idiot, but there's probably only a handful of songs since then that I like (that aren't covers). I've heard nothing good about the new album, so I'm kinda afraid to even listen. I find it maddening that they market it as being "real rock" when their last 5 albums have been severely over-produced. Their best effort was Demolicious, which took the best songs from the Uno-Dos-Tres disaster and stipped away all the nonsense. I wish they'd drop the act and act their age. They look and act so cringe, it's just embarrassing. So, while I still wear out their old music, I'd rather see them stop making music than continue what I hope is a charade to remain relevant to youth.
to be fair greenday seemed irrelevant after dookie till American idiot came out, they weren't releasing back to back killer cds, this isn't anything new, people just like to. trash musicians when they get the first chance. How many musicians really put out incredible cds every single time they try?
I've been watching your channel forever, why have I JUST stumbled upon this video? I'm a huge Green Day fan... or I was? FOAMF was kind of the nail in the coffin for me tbh, although I agree wholeheartedly with your own feelings towards them. YES to absolutely everything, you summarized it so perfectly. I think it's really sad that Green Day always stood out for their clever and / or profound lyrics (even up until the trilogy, although it kinda sucked musically and, as you correctly said, would have been better as a single album) and now it's been reduced to "i have so much money i smoke crack for fame school sucks how do you do fellow kids".... I think RevRad was still great (I basically listened to Bang Bang non stop EXCLUSIVELY when it came out and to this day, Forever Now is one of my favorite songs of all time) but it also kinda lacked the lyrical genius that i always associated with Billie Joe. I have mourned who they were since pretty much since they released the coverart, now it's just... not the same anymore. I hope maybe in the future they will have a redemption that they deserve but this is not really a band I can love anymore. I used to be such a proud Green Day fan, driving my family and friends and colleages and classmates at college crazy with my obsession, I even MET Billie Joe and Mike and used to tell that story proudly and the memory always gave me so much joy.... and now there's just embarrassment. Anyway, thanks for the video and giving me an opportunity to rant lmao.
I've been a Green Day fan since AI and will go and see them on every tour but I agree with literally everything you said in this video. Father of All was so half assed and disappointing, and then seeing that billboard just gave me such second hand embarrassment
I actually really like this album. It's got a great classic rock feeling. "Stab You In The Heart" is reminiscent of early Beatles material, their "Twist And Shout" days, if you will. "Grafitia" sounds like a song Tommy James & The Shondells could've made right alongside "I Think We're Alone Now" and "Mony Mony". Also, "Meet Me On The Roof" is basically a song right out of the Monkees catalog, in between "Last Train To Clarksville" and "Pleasant Valley Sunday", with just a touch of "For Pete's Sake" thrown in for good measure. All in all, Father Of All Motherfuckers is a genuinely good album. It's the Green Day album for those who don't like pop-punk or Green Day.
100% pure rock just sounds like someone trying to sell cocaine

Hailing from Seattle, the Fastbacks' albums contain some of the greatest music made on this side of the pond since the Temptations and the Beach Boys. Kim Warnick was the David Ruffins of her genre with the Queen sensibilities of Kurt Block and the harmonies of Lulu Gargiulo as well as a plethora of drummers, the Fastbacks made several albums from the late 80's to the mid 90's, and if you like them, go further with Guided By Voices who are like pop-punk on opioids.
Understandable
I didn't really like Green Day
Never liked them then and never liked them now, still though this is hilarious 🤣
Honestly I find it really hard to be believe that Billie and Co are this far out of touch.
I'm hoping that they had some great ideas that were really poorly executed.
I said this in another comment but this is what I pictured of Green Day album.
Titled...
"Relevant?Boomers?"
Or "PunkBoomer Rock" with a strikethrough the Punk part and a bunch of angry men doing boomer poses to a bunch of super progressive millennials/soybois with pink hair, the triggered LGBTQ lady and Greta Thunberg.
Which should then form a subtle collage of Trumps face in the middle of him saying "ChiNA" with a smiling Putin looking down from above and a facepalming Obama in the corner.
It would be provocative, relevant, funny, self aware and another attack on the stupid status quo the world is currently in.
Fun fact: for a band that claims to be "100% pure rock" (a stunt Queen used to do back in late 70's/early 80's with a stick on their albums that said "no synths on this ROCK album") this last album was so heavily overproduced -Tré's drums could have been played in a 808- and dehumanized that the irony is heavy.
Yeah, and "100% pure pop" would be a better tagline for Green Day.
Queen did NOT do that in the early 80’s. They ended their “No Synths” policy with the 1980 release of “The Game”.
But Queen didn’t use synthesisers (up to The Game)
Vinny Reed I just said that
But until The Game, Queen did not use synthesizers.
"No Swedish songwriters." Why do they have a problem with Max Martin? They might not like pop music, but you can't diss Max Martin. The man is a powerhouse songwriter, he's written 23 number 1 hits. You can't argue with results.
Like most songwriters now he writes lyrics that read like they written by 12 year old girls. The fact that he has written 23 number 1 hits tells you how awful people's musical tastes have become in the last 20+ years and how they accept absolute garbage as good music.
"Powerhouse songwriter" like making popular hits is the same as making actually good music.
To the two replies above: people have different music taste. There’s no such thing as objectively “good music.” I currently loathe a lot of the top songs right now, but I don’t pretend my taste is somehow superior to all others. All it means is my preferences are different, just like yours.
Have you ever tried writing a #1 hit song? Shit’s hard. Max is a master of his craft.
@@davidkeener5063 Yeah, that's why I say that. I produce Future Bass as a solo artist, and I know how hard it is to write a song at all, much less a hit, I have nothing but respect for Max Matin, as is evidenced by my original comment

I’ve been a fan of Green Day since American idiot and yeahhhh I kinda wish they hadn’t made any of the Uno dos and tres albums.
Billie Joe is older than my Dad. I feel wierd about that.
Dookie was the first CD I bought with my own money. I was 11 in 1995. My mom was mad at my dad for letting me buy it because it had a parental advisory sticker.
@Helene Jayne That’s weird, the copy I have of that and Jagged Little Pill doesn’t have one, must be a regional thing, because I don’t recall the US version of either album having a parental advisory sticker
@@ronstoppable5659 possibly regional (northeast PA, purchased at a gallery of sound), but it definitely caused an argument between my parents so I'm positive the copy I purchased had it.
@@ronstoppable5659 In Canada it definitely had one, so yeah likely a regional thing. I got mine in '94 through one of the CD clubs my mom was suckered into.
2020: the year using the word cringey became cringey
The year people who overuse "toxic" are usually very toxic
I didn’t get the memo
"that's so creeng bro u don't even know how could you not know that you posted creeng bro, my cock is HUUUUUUUUUUGE"
-the caliber of people who overuse 'cringe'
Cringe is a really funny word to me
Cringe has been overused to the point of virtual meaninglessness. Apparently, here it means "dorky."
Okay, “kids,” here’s the truth. EVERY generation talks shit about the previous generation. And every generation rebells against the previous generations. Always has, always will.
Yeah, generation divide is something that will always be happening.
Facts!!!
Umm..well..no not really. See..90s kids embraced the 80s era and sure we bitched about our parents generation, but now have also embraced it as a nostalgic memory of when we were growing up. The 2000s brought some riff..but not much. I think the biggest turn was when Gen Y (because thats what we were originally) suddenly became "Millenials" and basically started lumping true 90s Gen Y w 2000s kids as a whole. And we are pissed. And not just cuz we are basically being shoved in w the era where music, tv and all that fantastic "kids growing up" stuff died, but also because "Millenials" became a negative term for everything gone wrong. Which infact we Gen Y have nothing to do with..its all late 2000s and Gen Z.
I think the rock fandom is falling into the same rut as the country fandom. Holding on to a sounds from a past specific time that defined the genre, but unreceptive to new interpretations. The rock charts are just more pop and hip hop infused right now with honorable folk references. Heavier stuff just isn't getting up there as much.
13realmusic True, a shame really. I think it’s time for something new
Actually, rock is pretty "dead", isn't it?
@Tom Ffrench it's not mainstream anymore.
@Tom Ffrench back when i was a teen, rock was up. Lots of people listened, lots of bands were releasing albums and going in the charts. That doesnt happens anymore, i fear. Of course there are lots of people who still listen to rock, there are lots of people who listen to Bach, Vivaldi, Mozart too. But none of these genres are living their climax. Rock was hyped from 50's to 2000's, but after that it decreased a lot. At least, that's how i see the situation.
Rocks not dead, just not mainstream. Though a lot or underground stuff, especially from the England Indie scene kicks ass. Mixing new sounds with old sound, but keeping the energy and edge.
As a hard rock fan I get so embarrassed whenever rock radio stations or bands like Green Day over here have this inferiority complex and start comparing themselves to whatever's trendy like 'we cooler because this and that'.
Other genres don't go around proclaiming 'listen to us we don't have loud guitars or sing about death' they just live and let live as far as their marketing goes. Fuck's sake GD, y'all already look like adults dressed up in their kids' clothes and have for years now, you really don't need to give the world more reason to cringe at you.
A major problem with punk rock transitioning into mainstream music like Greenday is that the social and political commentary of the genre had to be blunted in order to appeal to a wider audience. Pop Punk can't express existential dread about capitalism when it's literally the force that makes it popular, so they have to take that angst and interpret it as adolescent pain. Selling the idea that your teenage anxiety is both unique and a common phase. It helps kids cope with cultural alienation, but it isolates people into thinking that our problems are only caused by emotional expressions and leaves us unequipped to notice systematic forms of oppression (something that the original punk scene tried to spread awareness of)
Why express an unfairness that the one who writes songs doesn't get notoriety in your lyrics when you can simply flex the idea that you make your own songs in your marketing.
@Tony catt "Not all punks against capitalism" sure, but that doesn't change the simple fact the genre was created as a response to rock becoming too established in advertisements and social elites. Only reason punk even exists is because enough people where sick of how commercialized rock became. Doesn't matter what you want to call it, doesn't change the fact that overproduced music created by multi billion dollar corporations had an effect in creating a schism in a genre of music. Or that during the schism millions of youth where forced into a war with the help of old Elvis-esk rock idols to sell the idea of patriotism.
@Tony catt a punk who's not against capitalism is the same thing of a fish who's against being inside water, punk comes from anarchism, and anarchism is inherently anti-capitalist
@Tony catt if you're afraid of socialism, at no point I've said punk is socialist, punk is anarchist, 2 different left wing groups that actually fight all the time, both are anti-capitalism but socialism aims for a initial phase of change through heavy government and closed borders, while anarchism aims for a society controlled solely by citizens and no frontiers, anarchism is inherently against authority so anarchists wouldn't approve of a heavy government like in socialism, and punk was molded by anarchism, so it's againts authority and inequality, this conformity of a hive mind they're against comes from authoritarian and/or class based systems. Now it's true that some punks ain't anarchists, Joey Ramone for example supported Reagan and Ian Curtis supported Tatcher, but those types of guys are usually the butt joke of the community.
So interesting story about Billie joe and the I heart music show. I was working at the venitian at a French restaurant in Vegas. The night of that concert Green Day came up to the bistro, nicest people in the world but we brought Billie probably 12 drinks in like 2 hours and he was fucking hammered. Like singing his own songs at the bar as “warm ups” just being wild and the life of the party. They gave out tickets to the managers and to servers and took pics and left(Billie was like slurring his words super bad when they left)
Well I then get a notification on my phone later that day “Billie joe Armstrong of Green Day melts down on stage in Vegas, cancels remaining shows and is going to rehab” shit blew my mind lol so I am the one who brought him his drinks that night lol but I’m just a food runner I wasn’t gonna try and cut a rockstar off haha I think it was like 2014 but I still feel bad
Supplemented Health yea it’s pretty fucked to overserve someone. It doesn’t matter if they’re famous or not, that’s dangerous. Your managers should be ashamed
RancidHobo hahahah you have obviously never been to Vegas
blaming the servers for over serving is ridiculous, it's like blaming a drug dealer for an overdose.
Supplemented Health and you obviously don’t understand the law. You (bartenders) can be charged too if a drunk driver kills someone because you over-served them. But keep telling yourself that it’s all cool.
@@BeautflDisaster4 I'm sure many people involved in the punk and punk pop music scene would have benefited greatly from your sober advice, they just didn't know!!
There's a phrase more commonly associated with rock music, and art in general than "diligent adherence to responsible behavior".
It's: "wild and excessive self-indulgence to the point of self-destruction".
Yes, if all artists behaved more responsibly, things would be different. Can't argue with that. And art might be improved if it were created by Karens and hall monitors and people who were diligently responsible.
But probably not.
I've just realized that young 90's musicians are truly the boomers of today.

During Uno Dos Tre, Billie found a setting on his microphone that made him sound a certain way and now he wont turn it off! And it shows during nearly every track on Revolution Radio
Actually after Foxboro Hottubs first album tho, you can hear his voice in 21CBD kind of different and then follow up to Trilogy and Revolution Radio.
The Swedish writer thing is referring to a producer named max martin. He’s written countless hit songs for pop-stars.
"I've been around since..." thus spoke the boomer.
"WHY EVERYTHING COST MONEY?!" cried the millennial.
@@thethrashyone okay boomer
I remember when Revolution Radio came out, my old job (a "barbershop" chain) had a raffle to win a vinyl copy of the album. Several people entered, not a ton, but this young kid was so hopeful to win. He actually won and on his next appointment, when we gave it to him, he was so happy. So even though I'm not the biggest Green Day fan anymore, everytime I hear a song, I get happy
“No Swedish writers” the disrespect to Tove Lo and all the Swedish writers that create some of the best music out there smh

Green Day was so close to my heart. A key part of my angsty youth.
I too had every album up to 21st Century Breakdown.
Something changed tho.
It's also quite ironic. They may very well be dealing with being irrelevant now when honestly, the song American Idiot, has never been more relevant then what it is now.
Also.
The American Idiot Broadway show was actually really fucking good.
OK, don't lump Green Day with the Boomers.
We Gen-Xers need to take the rap for that. That's totally our fault.
Xers just sounds cooler than boomers, that's why it fails as a perjorative.
You underestimate the simple-mindedness of people who invent and circulate internet slang. Boomer's pretty much a catch-all for "anyone older than 30" at this point. I'm positive that half the people who throw that word around wouldn't even be able to identify the age range of the _actual_ baby boomer generation without Googling it.
@@thethrashyone Half the people who say "ok boomer" couldn't tell you why that generation is called the Boomers.
@@NJGuy1973 They don't know the full name is "baby boomer" due to the post-WWII baby boom?
@@punkgrl325 People are stupid.
The irony is the album would probably be way more interesting if it did have trap beats, we've had "Pure uncut rock" for over half a century now
They peaked with Insomniac. Dookie gets all the attention, and I’m fine with that as it makes Insomniac more of a hidden gem.
That's is actually my favorite album, I listened to that shit so much, is quite hard to like anything after American Idiot, and to be really honest even American Idiot itself is not that great.
One can read hipsters like a book.
On Gilman St, it wasn't just Green Day. They didn't allow anyone signed to a major label to play there. The whole point of the venue was to promote independent/DIY bands and artists.
Green day themselves didn't come up with that billboard. Don't blame Green day for that, blame their marketing team.
has to be approved by them though. Also it was posted on their social media, including BJs. So yeah.
@@xumit How do you know it had to be approved by them? You're aware that record labels, even for big names like Green Day, regularly take marketing matters (and several other matters, but I won't get into that) into their own hands without even bothering to consult the artists, right? That's kind of been a legendarily persistent problem with the legacy record label industry.
They're 50, not 40 but yeah they just didnt adapt enough to not sound like some of the people they used to make fun of.

😂😂😂😂 iiiiinnit. I was thinking "theres some sick bands from Sweden though"
I get that their whole energy about their music is somewhat defensible given their age, but at the same time this is a band that's remained pretty creatively stagnant since 2004. Sure, they've had a return to some form with tracks like X-Kid and Revolution Radio, but tracks like that are insanely few and far between. And even then, it's like they've been stuck in some sort of reverse hyperbolic time chamber where they still think that singing about breakups and being a teenager is somehow... appropriate? For lack of a better word. It's not that those sorts of problems are invalid, everybody goes through that and there's mass appeal, I get that. But when the time came, they've never really stepped up to the plate and pushed their own envelope past American idiot. So much of their music in the last 10 years sounds like they're shuffling the deck or running in place. I know they're capable of tackling issues like depression, addiction, and anxiety, but they have an extreme tendency to shy away from that entirely now. And the musical package they envelope a lot of topics in that they cover currently doesn't hit the right notes. It seems disingenuous and emotionally bankrupt. It's sad to see considering 25 and 15 years ago, these guys had their hand on the pulse of an entire generation. Shame.
Imagine being a *POP PUNK* band and still managing to sell out

13:30 - Releasing a bad, contractually-obligated album to troll their record company is precisely what Bob Dylan did with "Self Portrait". Also, to be a devil's advocate, wouldn't a legacy rock act using Max Martin and trap beats be the far more "How do you do, fellow kids?" gesture?

I haven't heard their music in a long time, but to hear all of this just makes me feel kind of bad, but sheesh 😨
As a die hard Green Day fan, I can't say I'm enjoying this album cycle...
Their performance at the Game Awards was embarressing, prime example of "I'm swearing, Aren't I badass and cool?"
It was literally just a normal live performance, how was it any different than how they normally play?
You’re 100% right, but still pumped to see them next summer!
Can't say I'm a huge punk fan but I've always seen Green Day as the Disturbed of Punk. Sure they're popular but they don't really come across as the genre they advertise as.
I feel like Green Day have always been hated and most of the time for no reason. Like with Warning people just didn't like the change, even tho it was progressive for them and a pretty good album imo. But since the trilogy I feel like they've kept taking miss steps that they deserve to be called out for (maybe not this harshely, but still). While I hope they'll comeback with a truly good album, I also feel like it's not gonna happen and that it would sadly be better to just break-up the band.
But I just love old Green Day so much!
I love this video and I feel like your points are very similar to points I have on new fall out boy. They’ve been out for half the time but are still developing sad boomer energy
I like all the nuance in this video and all the research put into it. It's not so much a rant as a thoughtful dissection that takes great pains not to overextend or overgeneralise or be unduly harsh.
I love the new album. You either get them, or you don't.🤷♀️ They are the same guys they've always been and there's nothing wrong with that. Growing up doesn't mean you change who you are, you just learn how to act differently in different situations. You're still you at the end of the day...
Amanda, what is your preference... cut or uncut rock? Pls respond.
Father of All... Is just the music version of the 'I just wanna grill' meme...
The people at Reprise/ Atlantic recording corporation/ Warner music group, marked it, but due to the contract, they have to roll with the punches.

This is why Iron Maiden is objectively the most wholesome band. Those guys were BORN boomer. They were making music for boomers before 'boomer' was a meme. They've never had a downfall because they embodied that kind of energy from the start, so when they do boomer shit it's just good ol' classic Maiden that you know and love.

“Mother of all Redacteders” LMFAO
I didn't know Axl Rose had anything against Green Day marketing
Gun to my head, Green Day is probably my favorite band. I'm probably categorized as a boomer. I started listening to them when they released Kerplunk. I've tried sticking with them since American Idiot, but there's probably only a handful of songs since then that I like (that aren't covers). I've heard nothing good about the new album, so I'm kinda afraid to even listen. I find it maddening that they market it as being "real rock" when their last 5 albums have been severely over-produced. Their best effort was Demolicious, which took the best songs from the Uno-Dos-Tres disaster and stipped away all the nonsense. I wish they'd drop the act and act their age. They look and act so cringe, it's just embarrassing. So, while I still wear out their old music, I'd rather see them stop making music than continue what I hope is a charade to remain relevant to youth.
to be fair greenday seemed irrelevant after dookie till American idiot came out, they weren't releasing back to back killer cds, this isn't anything new, people just like to. trash musicians when they get the first chance. How many musicians really put out incredible cds every single time they try?
Every one of these Gen X bands should have a millennial as their PR person
Amanda the Jedi is a cute ball of unstoppable energy, your killing it girl!!
I've been watching your channel forever, why have I JUST stumbled upon this video? I'm a huge Green Day fan... or I was? FOAMF was kind of the nail in the coffin for me tbh, although I agree wholeheartedly with your own feelings towards them. YES to absolutely everything, you summarized it so perfectly. I think it's really sad that Green Day always stood out for their clever and / or profound lyrics (even up until the trilogy, although it kinda sucked musically and, as you correctly said, would have been better as a single album) and now it's been reduced to "i have so much money i smoke crack for fame school sucks how do you do fellow kids".... I think RevRad was still great (I basically listened to Bang Bang non stop EXCLUSIVELY when it came out and to this day, Forever Now is one of my favorite songs of all time) but it also kinda lacked the lyrical genius that i always associated with Billie Joe. I have mourned who they were since pretty much since they released the coverart, now it's just... not the same anymore. I hope maybe in the future they will have a redemption that they deserve but this is not really a band I can love anymore. I used to be such a proud Green Day fan, driving my family and friends and colleages and classmates at college crazy with my obsession, I even MET Billie Joe and Mike and used to tell that story proudly and the memory always gave me so much joy.... and now there's just embarrassment. Anyway, thanks for the video and giving me an opportunity to rant lmao.

I've been a Green Day fan since AI and will go and see them on every tour but I agree with literally everything you said in this video. Father of All was so half assed and disappointing, and then seeing that billboard just gave me such second hand embarrassment
We used to fight green day kids after school.
Lmao I would love to hear stories on that? Were they hated?
I actually really like this album. It's got a great classic rock feeling. "Stab You In The Heart" is reminiscent of early Beatles material, their "Twist And Shout" days, if you will. "Grafitia" sounds like a song Tommy James & The Shondells could've made right alongside "I Think We're Alone Now" and "Mony Mony". Also, "Meet Me On The Roof" is basically a song right out of the Monkees catalog, in between "Last Train To Clarksville" and "Pleasant Valley Sunday", with just a touch of "For Pete's Sake" thrown in for good measure. All in all, Father Of All Motherfuckers is a genuinely good album. It's the Green Day album for those who don't like pop-punk or Green Day.
