    I don’t listen to Green Day, so I don’t know about any of their albums’ specifics. After Nirvana ended I saw Green Day first on a late night talk show, and they came out and played the same style of music that Nirvana made popular, with a similar stage presence and style. That’s when I assumed they wanted to be Nirvana.

    Later they changed into modern Green Day that is completely different than what they were at the start.

      “I don’t actually know anything about music but I saw a talk show once in the 90s”

        Yeah he’s just an old dude that trolls, but he’s an actual troll, so it’s not like he’s doing it to be a dink for karma, he’s just really insufferable as a person. He migrated over from Reddit where he did the same thing there.

        The amount of hours this guy has invested across Lemmy and Reddit is insane, so, at some point, you just have to respect the dedication and interact with him at your leisure. At least, that’s what I do.

      What composed the “style of music” that you feel Nirvana made popular that Green Day was imitating? Music with guitars and distortion?
