shit

They've released some very good albums and they're definitely a talented band, but it just seems like they don't use their talents to the full potential.

They're ok, but the "patricians" thinks they're garbage, I only like Dookie t b h

I liked Kerplunk, to be honest with you.

They're music for teenagers, and you're asking this in a site where everybody wants to look like an adult patrician, they're obviously mostly say that they're shit. Liking Green Day doesn't give you indie cred.

I think they're probably the most overrated band ever maybe right behind Nirvana. I also think they fucking suck and I hate that their fanbase is convinced they're real punks even tho the shit they make is as overproduced and meaningless as something by ke$ha

Dookie was a great album

I don't think people dislike them to seem adult, they are very bland. Hence you already have people saying when they jumped the shark.

I find them generally rubbish, but the beginning of the end for them was Nimrod. It lacked the cohesion of previous records and despite having some high points, I did feel it was a let down after Insomniac.

Boring at best, sloppy and poser-ish at worst. The reality is punk music died 86-89 as it was getting stale and more painful developments occurred like emo and grunge.

uh

I think they're really good for what they are
I can totally see why someone would hate them though

Punk is subjective. Ramones were undeniably punk, but Green Day and basically anyone else is debatable.
That said, Nimrod was incohesive because they wanted to focus on the songs rather than the album. Far as I'm concerned, Jinx/Haushinka is one of the best things they ever put out.
The trilogy would have been much better off as only one album with all the shit cut out, but Let Yourself Go is easily the best from there. American Idiot is obviously a masterpiece, punk or not.
As for the old shit, 39/Smooth is real nice, but Kerplunk and Dookie are just crazy good.

Kerplunk, Dookie and American Idiot are all great albums. Never really gave much of a shit about their other stuff though.

Sometimes i listen to their early pop punk stuff to get nostalgic
