        He wasn’t attributing the song stanza to Green Day.

        Just saying it was relevant to the context of the article.

        Lol Green Day wanted to be Nirvana? Not a huge fan of either band really, and Green Day wasn’t exactly groundbreaking stuff, but it’s a completely different genre than Nirvana.

        This is so easy to debunk with a simple search. Both bands formed the same exact year 1987. I dont think either band knew about each other until the 90s.

        You’re of the opinion that the Bay-area pop-punk band wanted to be like the PNW grunge band?

        Kerplunk and Bleach sound nothing alike, I think I’m misunderstanding what you meant?

          Ya, not even the same genre. If you don’t like the music just say that instead of comparing them to someone else that you do like

            They didn’t even have the courage to say they don’t like Green Day (I’m not a huge fan myself), all they did was show their knowledge of music is paltry.

          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.

              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.

                Really, you must be very interested in my comments then. What’s my Reddit handle, since you know so much?

                You must really not like all the things that I’m right about, have you seen a therapist about your cognitive dissonance problems?

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

              Specific chord structures and rhythms actually. If you knew much about guitar you could see the similarities in their early stuff and Nirvana’s popular songs. Overall the same punk-grunge style basically.
