Green Day Anticipation Thread, Green Day will eat your souls Options

Green Day's new album is set to be released on September 21, and it looks like it's going to kick ass. In this record, they plan on breaking away from their usual 2-3 minute song style, and doing songs that are much longer. Heres a quote from an article:

"A band that's known for the perfect two-minute song is now writing nine-minute epics," Armstrong says. "It's scary to think about."

I'm really anticipating this Album. From what I've read, they went from the sound of Warning, to a more punk-ish sound, with major influences from bands like The Who.

I hate these sort of conversations. It's always so trendy to talk about how dead a certain genre of music is.

Hottopic is catering to a fad. A fad for kids to get the attention they so desperately crave. Either that, or set themselves appart from everyone else.

I personally enjoy some of the clothes there. I don't like the people attached to it, but I do like the interesting styles offered. Maybe it's because I worked there - but I don't believe that everything has to be 'hardcore' genuine. Sure, punk started like a teenage rebellion, now it's a corporate fad. Enjoy the irony, fellas, it's like bell-bottoms and tye dye, but not nearly as badass.
