Welcome to Gaia! ::

How are old Green Day and new Green Day alike? The lyrics are completely different. gonk

Back on topic, I could've sworn I saw Peeves in (I think) the 1st movie.

You might be right. I haven't watched the movies since I saw them in the theater (even though my mom puts them on every single freakin' time they're being shown on tv. I wanted to watch the bloody hockey game but nooooo Harry Potter's on!!!1! Like we don't have the extended director's cut on dvd scream ).

Hmm...Green Day matured past songs about drugs. 4laugh I think that's a good thing, personally. First album: All cheesy lyrics about girls, teen angst, school sucking, "I wanna be alone," growing up, etc. Most recent album: Deals with issues of the media, introspection, death, love, etc.

Actually, their first and last albums are the most similar lyrically, now that I think about it. 'Cause American Idiot is a concept album, and it's from a teen's perspective of the world. American Idiot's lyrics are just less...stupid. They're more poetic and have WAY better flow with the songs, because they've polished their songwriting so much in the past 15 years.

I Want To Be Alone lyrics < Letterbomb lyrics

Sound-wise, they're similar...only they have more different instruments and somewhat more complex parts in most songs. And the obvious better production quality.


So...let's compare Kerplunk and Warning, then.

Kerplunk's lyrics...generally well-written but still cheesy in concepts. Warning has a nice variety of concepts.

Android, while a cheesy concept, I think is well-written. Fashion Victim is a fresh concept, AND well-written. surprised

Personally, I'll take songs by 30-year olds over songs from teenagers. 3nodding I may not be able to relate as well, but...eh. It's refreshing. If I want cheesy lyrics like that, I'll go listen to Good Charlotte.

I'd grown up listening to Green Day on the radio. I didn't get into them until Warning. I think there's probably a reason for that. (Well, besides that I didn't care about music much. xd )

Just my 2 cents. I just hate when people say the old stuff is "better." If cheesy, cliché, and simple is "better"...sure. I mean, I love the old stuff, but I love the new stuff too. Really, Warning is my favorite...Insomniac is my second favorite...Nimrod is their best, in my opinion...American Idiot close behind. Those are their last four albums. (Excluding Shenanigans which is really just a random compilation.) Their first three albums were good, yeah, but they get better with time for me. (Though...I have been listening to Kerplunk the most lately.)

I...am going to shut up now. sweatdrop
