Green Day, Are u really a fan? Options

[lanbexx]

this has just been gnawing on my mind for a couple days.

a few days ago, i passed by a couple of people talking about how much they LOVED green day... however, when i asked if they knew about green day before their American Idiot song, they all said no. Most didnt even know that they had been around for many years before...

so, as a question to all Green Day fans, especially those who LOVE green day, how many of u knew/cared for the band 5 years ago? how many actually listened to dookie?

not meant as an insult to anyone

[racoons > you]

why does it bother you that other people enjoy listening to the music you do?

if u truly love the band, why aren't u happy for them for acheieving comercial success? and surely if people are buying American idiot and loving it, then maybe they'll buy their other albums, and become 'true fans'

if it really bothers u, form a little coven, lock the bedroom door, give the true fans a pass word, throw dookie on the cd player and bitch your little hearts out.

sheesh
