Back when Green Day was good
The writer addresses the the always hilarious issue of people not liking a band anymore because they got popular, and he/she uses Green Day as the example, which is absolutely perfect. The band has the classic storyline of getting big locally and underground and then break the chains, sign to a major label, and then get extremely popular.
"As everyone knows, Green Day was only a good band on those first two albums where all the songs sound exactly the same because they're all the same song. Those were the golden years. Then everyone heard "When I Come Around" and lost their shit and one thing led to another and now Green Day is the worst thing that ever happened to anyone."
I love the sarcasm because that's exactly what the "haters" (I dislike that word) say.
"Wanting to be part of your own little group is perfectly understandable; wanting the entity that brought you together to enjoy as little success as possible in life is not."
