And yet I’ve had people tell me that ‘90s Green Day was awesome and that they sold out in the 2000s.

Opinions are like you-know-what. Everybody has one.

I'm sure there are people who feel that way. For me, the 90s were the worst decade in popular music history. Next to nothing from that wasted decade sounds awesome these days, least of all Billy Joe faking a Brit accent through his nose to Green Day's ersatz punkisms.

That was the decade of my 20s, so there should be some sentimental value to some of it. But there's not. It all sounds vapid, self-absorbed and pretentious anymore. The only thing worse is early 2000s emo, which I hold the whiny alt-rockers of the 90s personally responsible for.

Some people have more than one. Some people are nothing but one.

GD till late 90's was real Punk. Heroin/success ruined them.
