Sure about that?

So-called hasbeens have an amazing way of making “comebacks”.

Green Day has been called "has-beens" for 20 years now and yet they continue to sell out arenas and millions of records.

I'm not a fan of Green Day and I'm familiar with only a handful of their songs but I do remember them being called a "flash in the pan" way back in the early 1990s when even those Nirvana people were still around.

Well the Green Day people are definitely having the last laugh and they continue to cash very large checks down at the bank.

Don't know anything about this "Psy" fellow except he apparently got a billion views on YouTube for some electronic "dance" number of his. Well, maybe that guy really is a flash in the pan. I guess we'll know for sure in 20 years. But I have a feeling that Green Day will still be doing concerts in 20 years regardless.

The Rolling Stones...now that is a band that hasn't had a creative thought for the past 30 years but they continue to tour and sell records for aging Baby Boomers at $200+ per ticket. I remember seeing the Rolling Stones on the 1981 tour at the L.A. Coliseum and even then they were considered a dinosaur rock band. At least back in 1981, they jumped around on stage a little bit and did not have too many wrinkles.

I don't know which is sadder: Some Korean guy getting a billion YouTube views for an electronic "dance" number or Mick Jagger at age 70 prancing around on stage to a bunch of toothless, drooling senior citizens trying to relive the 1960s.
