I can't stand Green Day either, but I do agree entirely with that statement.

I don't think people liking green day has to do with understanding. I know this, actually. It has to do with the punk-rock piosturing GD has now. The faux-punk get-ups, clueless politics, rebellious image (when they are being marketted that way). Most kids are dumb and will fall for bullshit like this, and record exec.'s know that.
