Why do you guys hate Green Day so much?

So you don't like The Killers any more because some of their fans aren't fond of Green Day? Sorry, it doesn't make much sense to me. And "are we human or are we dancer?" or " i got soul but i'm not a soldier". Yes, they mean something. Listen to the entire song and then use your brain a little and something might come to you. Yes, I have listened to Green Day and am familiar with many songs.I'm not so fond of them purely because it's not my kind of music, i'm not into their punk image which seems a bit contrived. It irritates me. I have nothing against Green Day fans. If they have something against me then that's too bad. I love The Killers because their lyrics mean something to me and are more than not wanting to be an "american idiot", they aren't afraid to dip into different styles of music , creative, Brandon has an amazing voice, and a million more reasons which I am not going to go into. And yes, I do like Holiday somewhat and Good Riddance.

Ok. I have just read the little conflict between you and another Killers fan. I just have to say I really don't think you should have attacked someone like that for their opinions. It was insanely and hilariously immature. How can you be so quick to judge someone like that and immediately make assumptions. That really pissed me off. And is them being popular a reason that people should like them? I thought it was about their "great" music. You say she knows nothing of music. You used to like The Killers but formed your opinion based on what their fans say about Green Day or even what "precious Brandon Flowers" said. While Cassie said she listened intently and had made no judgements on their music until after she heard it? Did you even consider what she had to say? She was not the one who made her opinion based upon what others said. You did. How about you do that same with The Killers and if you don't find them to your liking, well that is that. So I hope you " grow up and get a mind of your own."
Truly, I do.

First of all, this is not the correct use of the Question/Answer feature.

Secondly, calling cassie the "leader" is inappropriate.

Thirdly, before you start harping on at me, I am a HUGE Green Day fan. Have been since 1994 when I first heard them. I also LOVE The Killers (admittedly not their newer stuff...).

My problem here is that people are entitled to like whoever they want to like. There is no obligation for anyone to like Green Day, or The Killers etc. People like what they like, and hate what they hate.

Sure, some people have decided that there is a Green Day VS The Killers war (probably because of what Brandon said about Green Day in 2004). In my opnion, thats lame and stupid and pathetic. We are all allowed to like whatever we want, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone. But we don't have to shit on people who don't like what we like.

What you are doing here is EXACTLY the same thing that you are complaining about. Personally, I think the lyrics "I've got soul, but I'm not a soldier" are very, VERY meaningful. Just as meaningful as some of my favourite Green Day lyrics. So some people may think that Green Day lyrucs are just as "meaningless" as The Killer's lyrics that you think are "meaningless".

So, its great that you love Green Day, and you don't have to like The Killers if you don't want to, but it seems to me that a lot of Green Day's lyrics encourage people to be themselves, not only by standing up for what they believe in, but also by accepting differences and celebrating diversity. I think if the boys from Green Day saw your comments here, they would be ashamed that you hadn't picked up on the messages that they have been trying to send their fans.

hmmm. Perhaps it's because everyone has their own taste in music and it isn't illegal to not like a band? Why in the world would anyone like anyone else less because of other people's opinions? That's a little churlish.

Why I LOVE The Killers: They're very diverse with their sound and lyrics, very creative, are a great live band, I KNOW WHAT THEIR LYRICS MEAN and that "are we human, or are we dancer?" and "I got soul, but I'm not a soldier" aren't just random quotes and that they have a very meaningful background, I love the sarcasm they add to their lyrics... All and all, they are just a good, solid band who are underappreciated but I don't really care because if I like them that's all that matters and I won't go complain about others' opinions.

Why I dislike Green Day: Billie Joe's voice pisses me off, 98% of their songs annoy me, their songs sound too much the same, they try too hard to be punk rock when they are indeed not, I just flat out don't care for their songs, sound, style, lyrics, vocals, etc. and they just don't appeal to me. And don't say I don't like them because Brandon Flowers doesn't because I've never taken a liking to Green Day in my whole life and have only been a Killers fan for a little over a year. I and several other people in the world can form our own opinions without considering others'. That's what Brandon would call "human".

And I honestly don't care whether or not people like Green Day or any other band in the world, because it's their personality and actions that I judge them by. I have met Green Day fans who are some of the nicest and decent people I've ever met, I won't let the fact that they like Green Day or some other band/singer that I dislike get in the way of what could be a great person to know. In my life I've only met one actual Killers fan and they're a great person. but I could meet a Killers fan who could be the most vile person in the world. Music has nothing to do with personality and I feel somewhat embarrassed for you right now.


FACT: I actually like Holiday and am partial to Boulevard of Broken Dreams.


Seriously, you want to have your own opinion, so why can't everyone else have theirs? You're the one who's ignorant, hating people who don't like Green Day. Grow up.

1st - Cassie is not my leader, I´m not 3 years old

2nd - Please grow up. You are the type of person who should be banished from Fanpop. Do you have a brain, a life or smthing?
You should think it through before you open your mouth to talk
Seriously?
you are so IGNORANT

yeah right. you don't know anything. Let me guess, you don't like Green Day because Brandon Flowers of your precious THE KILLERS doesn't like them? That's so IMMATURE. why don't people just grow up and get a mind of their own. Green Day has been around way longer that you so why don't you get off your high horse and face the facts

yeah well I"M NOT FINISHED!
what are you gonna do? Screencap me and post me on Fanpop?
you can't do anything. Why don't you get your ears checked? Green Day is popular band! people all over the world like them. You're in the minority! all you creeps that picked no need to go get your heads examined. seriously. i have no respect for any of you

I just have one word to say: IMMATURE

No one cares if you like Green Day or not
Ppl are free to like anything they want and you should be ashamed of what you did here
You must be just a kid, you dont even know yet what you want and what you dont so after you grow up and stop doing this childish questions and comments come to BF/TK spots and you´ll be very welcome

Oh one more thing,
You´re not even a true fan of The Killers so dont you talk about their lyrics bcause you dont know a thing about it, your brain is too... immature, lets say, to understand the meaning behind it

WOW! I made that pick but i didn't mean for all that to happen! I just wanted to know who likes Green Day. I didn't think The Killers would get involved

Well, The Killers have always been my favourite band, since I was five and I'm thirteen now. To be honest, the way you've written this like (if intended), you have no right to judge us on why we like The Killers or not. I respect your opinion that you like them, so why can you not be the same? Brandon has even apologized for what he has said. Green Day, however, are my 2nd favourite and I love them as much as The Killers. I won't ever change that. People always say to me, "How can you like them both after what Brandon Flowers said? You do realize that, don't you?" well, it's because I'm actually mature and I can like whoever I want to like. I love all my favourite bands the same amount and nobody can ever change that. I listen to them both every single day. Oh, and those words don't even mean anything? They mean shitloads to me and guess what? You can't and won't ever change that either.
