Green Day is equivalent to Blink 182. There was no faster way to get ostracized in the subculture scene by listening to these guys. They were marketable though, obviously.

I was talking about when Green Day was "coming up" as a local band in the bay area punk scene and their stuff on indy label Lookout!. They were west coast punk darlings in the early days, then they signed with Reprise and released Dookie and none of the punk kids wanted anything to do with them anymore.
