So the general consensus is because Green Day have matured in regards to their lyrical content and are more socially aware of todays climate they now 'suck?'

But they were good when just talking about getting 'wasted,' What The ****?
Personally I think Green Day are alright and to me MCR are an overated transparent gimmick, but hey that's just my opinion.

It seems to me there is a trend on the Punk/Emo site to hate all that starts to sell records thus becoming more mainstream(even if their sound and image hasn't changed that much to when they were underground darlings).

not necesarily that....but their lyrics now, just seem so cliche and overdone. and overplayed for that matter. sure, maybe their lyrical content has become more mature, but theyve taken on a completely new image which is somewhat...annoying. when they were writing about getting wasted, at least their songs were somewhat more original. the songs like "welcome to paradise", just seemed more like they were telling some sort of story whereas songs like "american idiot" seem to just be them latching on to the "we're so punk rock...f*ck the government" motion.

Alot of people have 0 respect for anti-war lyrics on MTV, just because everyone is anti-bush now and broken dreams and september are cliched.

these are my reasons that were posted in another thread

Greenday suck because they refuse to progress from the base levels of pop punk. Vague lyrics about their disillusionment, 4-5 power chords per song, verse chorus verse chorus song structure. They've been playing the same ****ing song for 10+ years.

and railing against an "opressive" government hardly qualifies for maturing lyrics

Not maturing lyrics,
maturing lyrical content(there's a big difference).

I can see where you guys are coming from about the whole un-originality thing, but you know what they say; if it aint broke don't fix it!

I kid, I kid!

I would pick My Chemical Romance. Because. They are one of my favorite bands and such. So that was easy.

They have a new album coming out in February, I'm excited..:rolleyes:

I wouldn't really choose either in any real situation, but MCR coz... I prefer their music in comparison to Greenday... I know MCR are whiney but Greenday are worse to me! Lol.
