Crass is cool though!

Yeah, I still listen to Crass and Subhumans, they’ve always been more anarcho punk than crust punk though.

Dookie usually comes out very early in life.

I forgot, you can only listen to music on release date or you're a #poser

No, advanced copy only.

International Superhits was one of my first 3 CDs so I don't wanna hear any slander about my age.  They still played the stuff on MTV years later and pretty sure basket case was the biggest one on youtube they had for a while.

This isn't about being a poser or not, it's about whether you're old enough to remember how popular Basket Case was when it came out. And you're not.

I was old enough to have Basket Case be my first Green Day song heard though..  Blink similarly with Dammit/Josie videos floating around.  But I did hear WMAA & ATST first admittedly.  That was on all the kids stations too and MTV was easily accessible from the downstairs basement TV.

I just don't see how this input is relevant to a discussion about whether Green Day's biggest singles in the '90s were as commercially successful at that time as they're sometimes made out to be these days.

I remember listening to Shenanigans at the record store in 2002 because I likes Basket Case. And I hated the Fang cover they did. And pretty much disliked it all. Went back and listened to Nimrod a few months later and loving it and bought it. Then I bought superhits. Since we didn't get the real GD albums in Norway I had to go the UK to buy Kerplunk and was so shocked they had another album. When I heard 2000 Lightyears Away I was sold.

I was really in tune for my age.

I was only 5 at the time, but I feel they were much bigger than most of us younger folks can remember. American Idiot songs were so huge, and I feel like Dookie was even bigger.

American Idiot was so huge, that I remember having to go to a Barnes & Noble book store to get it.

Shit like that, I miss.  Stupid streaming makes it too easy/accessible.
