but OMT has sold significantly better so far.

this actually really surprises me.  I figured the American Idiot crowd would give Green Day the leg up on anything they release.

Bro you listen to whiny emo poppy bands like neck deep and make fun of Green Day? 😂

make it make sense 

So because I like neck deep I must like Green Day? And I suppose I must like The Beatles? Pink Floyd? Rolling Stones? That’s not how this works. Bro thinks people who like smaller bands must then like all bands that outsell them 🤣

I don‘t think omt is grammy worthy. I‘ve yet to come across a non-blink fan speak fondly or even recognize the existence of that record. Same goes with the green day record though… the fontaines record deserves it imo

 

 

 

@Harry Butker i don‘t really know what‘s going on, but as someone who only comes back here from time to time, let me tell you that every time i come back your account turns more into a poor man‘s oliver. Not sure if that‘s what you‘re going for, just thought i‘d let you know since it‘s very evident when only logging in every couple weeks.

the world seems to turn more and more in to a hatefull and divided place. Do you really want to spend your time online as a contrarian, pissing people off? Can‘t remember the last time i read a geniune positive post from you. 
Food for thought

 

 

I agree that this board can have hateful and divisive moments.  I'm with you there.

 

Diddy is an exception though.  We all know he's a good dude and that's just the way he goes about at times.  It's pretty harmless and I don't think anybody actually gets pissed off.  Imagine watching football and some dude calls you a piece of shit when they don't like the call on the field.  Everyone's all good.

Ummm, no. It’s just funny how you rip on bands you don’t like constantly but you get butthurt when I make fun of a band you like. The point is, all the bands you always talk about wouldn’t even have a platform or be remotely relevant if it weren’t for Green Day. Show some fucking respect you clown

Dude, shut the fuck up. You answered this yourself, you come back periodically so you’re missing 95% of my comments. I haven’t been arguing with anyone lately. Funny how you have no problems with other people like Scott shitting on bands they don’t like, but if I call out the fact all of his favorite bands wouldn’t have a platform or be relevant without Green Day, you get your panties in a bunch. Me understanding why Green Day would get a Grammy nod over blink is just me living in reality, not me hating on blink. My conversation with Jan was also light hearted, you don’t understand our dynamic so get off my fucking dick

Green Day sucks dude, these are just the facts.

They came in hot and started things off but blink came in and did everything better, looked better, smelt better, better guitar.  Green Day’s been jealous ever since and tried to be like them just like everyone else.

We thank Green Day for starting things off for pop punk and getting some of the early awkward clunky stages out of the way and can respect them for that.  That’s as far as it goes.

Once again, just YOUR opinion. The way you speak on your OPINIONS being facts discredits your opinions. Album sales say otherwise, bud. Why would Green Day be jealous of blink when they outperform them in every metric? You think they’re jealous because you’re on this site saying blink is better? Really dude? and again, i don’t judge music by sales. But to say Green Day is jealous of blink right now shows how out of touch you are. Green Day just went on a bigger tour than blink has ever done

OMT and Saviors have nearly identical scores on Metacritic, but OMT has sold significantly better so far. Obviously there's a lot more to cultural impact than critical reception and sales, but let's be real, it's unlikely that either of these albums had a "big impact on society". But the data we have show that it's laughable to say that only those of us in a blink echo chamber would claim that OMT had a bigger impact.

Ok, you make some fair points. I assumed Green Day’s album would have more sales, like JarJar assumed. I don’t give a shit about album sales or Grammys. I’m just saying it’s not far fetched to imagine Green Day getting a nod over blink in any scenario so people shouldn’t get upset about it. I definitely don’t subscribe to the Grammy’s highlighting good music lol, never have.

Green Day are a bigger band than blink and that's a fact. But bigger doesn't mean better. Green day's releases post American idiot have been boring , they don't try anything different. You could put any combination of green day songs released post American Idiot and it would all just be the same album and recycled riffs.

With that being said, they are an incredible live band to go and watch perform, but outside of the hits they're not a band I'd ever choose to listen too.

Yea, bigger definitely does not mean better. But just Because you guys feel blink is better doesn’t mean the outside world does. Just trying to get you guys to take your blinders off but clearly that’s a fruitless task on this website

Green Day are little woke cunts though aren’t they while Tom and Mark are on stage talking about sucking eachothers dicks. 

What a cringe fucking statement. Especially being that Mark and Tom are “woke” as fuck.

I don't think it's just an opinion when this is how the earth feels.  Bigger doesn't mean better.  Otherwise Swift is better than Van Halen.  Is this how you feel?  Tell us the truth.  They sold more albums because they appealed more to the boomers and gossip girls with their whining.  Blink appealed to the better crowd and more musical fanbase and this is facts.  If anything, Green Day has to use album sales as a crutch to make up for their insecurities towards a band like Blink who was just infinitely cooler, smarter, musically talented, and more fun to watch than them.

You don’t speak for the earth my guy. I love you but sometimes you are delusional. Making up that Green Day is jealous of blink when Green Day wants to be nothing like blink. Keep coping my bud!

Meltdowns? You are a clown dude. I haven’t had any meltdowns pal. Only people here having meltdowns are clowns like you because Green Day was nominated for a Grammy and blink wasn’t 😂 shooter vibes because I call out the lame whiny voice emo bullshit you listen to? Whatever makes you feel better dork!

Starting arguments? How so? For pointing out its not hard to imagine Green Day getting a Grammy nod over blink? Sorry bud, I didn’t mean to invade your safe space and challenge your thought process like that you absolute little girl. You sure love to shit on bands you don’t like but you can’t handle anyone doing the same to you. Snowflake
