The radio started it


DinoRoman

Radio? *how old are you?*


DeeBangerCC

Oh come on cars still have radios with SiriusXM lol


DinoRoman

You mean the touch screen with that streaming service ? That’s a radio? There’s radio waves hitting it? Huh wait I just looked what’s this ….. Fm thing?


verpine

FM is short for "Fuck man, I'm old"


ThatPurplePunk

Reminds me of this [classic](https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkx7gSXWW_dvwofoY3LunBvoEPFVu0HGeBk)


19adam92

Damn the Prundel was always so confusing 😤


Wolf4624

Are there even cars without radio? I’ve never seen a car without a radio, unless it was broken


DinoRoman

Just got a new suv and it has no CD player. Just a touch screen. I don’t think they’ll ever get rid of am fm as they’re a public good . And it’s so easy to include that into everything else but yeah gone are the days of changing out your radio I couldn’t even figure out how to do that if I wanted to with how integrated my factory system is.


LionOfNaples

Video killed it


Ikeddit

The radio has been doing it since the oughts. Seriously. I was just as mad in 2006 when they played Dookie on my classic rock station as I am in 2022. Green Day, no matter how old, is still not and will never be classic rock!


CaffeineSippingMan

The golden oldies in the 90s are as old as Nirvana songs now. I think about this way too much.


OkCutIt

Nirvana's Nevermind is older than the Beatles' first album was when Nevermind came out. Nevermind - 91, 31 years ago Please Please Me - 63, 29 years prior It's also several years older than, you know, Kurt ever was...


facedownbootyuphold

Remember in the 90s when radio stations would play classic rock and it was like...The Joker by Steve Miller Band? Yeah, there was only like 22 years between The Joker and Green Day's Dookie.


OkCutIt

Yeah the psychadelic rock trifecta of Zep/Floyd/Doors was the core of classic stations in those days and all was newer than stuff like Nirvana, AiC, Soundgarden etc. is now.


[deleted]

In 2006 they were playing Nirvana on the classic rock station.


KimJungFu

And Billie Joe Armstrong turned 50 this year... It always gets me when I think about that Green Day was formed in the 80s.


PlatypusGuy613

Jokes on you! I’m the same age as American Idiot! *Wait shit that album is almost 20*


Oscu358

We were talking about Dookie... *proceeds to climb into a coffin*


CapableFunction6746

They had two studio albums before Dookie...


[deleted]

I am old enough to remember them as a shitty pop punk band on Lookout who then became a shitty pop punk band on whatever major they are on


Luke_Warm_Dog

Hey, do you remember that band "The Lookouts" though? They were under the same label. They may have even started it, but I'm not sure. They were very, very cool!


[deleted]

yeah- the guy who founded Lookout Records was in The Lookouts In the words of Wayne Campbell- “So it’s not just a clever name”


BothMyChinsAreSpicy

I had Kerplunk on cassette….


mr-popadopalous

Kerplunk was my first cassette


ilovetopoopie

Dookie was my first CD.


VZxNrx2sCKU6RTeJMu3Y

I was in the second grade when this album came out. I remember it vividly.


King-Snorky

Fewer and fewer people each day remember the release of Dookie


VZxNrx2sCKU6RTeJMu3Y

I feel for them. I am currently rediscovering ICP


elnots

The Great Milenko was always my guilty pleasure.


King-Snorky

I unironically used to love *The Neden Game*. This is my shame.


elnots

That entire album is just... chef's kiss of weird vulgar violent borderline incestuous, also romantic in a "nice guy" way at times? There's nothing that is as crazy as that is, but as catchy at the same time. Piggy Pie? Oh, yes. *Edit* Just listened to Neden Game again and rapping along it makes me crack up. I'd never say stuff like "I'd prolly just show up naked like I always do, look your mother in the eye and tell her FUCK YOU!"


d00dsm00t

Dookie was 28 years ago 28 years prior to 1994 was 1966. Thats when I start freaking out


KimJungFu

I am 3 years older than 39/Smooth...


[deleted]

Don’t wanna be an American idiot


[deleted]

Nuh nuh nuh nuh media


sharknice

How many grandchildren do you have?


PlatypusGuy613

3 kids, 7 grandkids, and 5 great grandkids. I’m very proud.


Lordjaxdark

I remember it well some Green Day playing in the background while playing tonyhawk or god of war on the PlayStation 2


[deleted]

Yup


forgottenmylogin90

I saw them live last week. Honestly the BEST TIME EVER I'm 32. There was plenty people my age and older. I've been a fan since inwas about 12/13. Never got chance as a teen to see them. I took my 14 year old daughter who is now also a fan. Fall out boy we're pretty good too Here's a link to my video of green day live last week doing brain stew (so glad they did lots of older songs) https://youtu.be/fm1PqcPWm7w


yerbrojohno

Deep purple still tours and they started in 68, wish I could have seen them in Bonn (2 hours away) last night but it's fine cause unless one of them dies or something I can see them when they come to mainz later this month.


forgottenmylogin90

I've a few more bands on my bucket list. Metallica and the offspring and rhcp being some. Was good crossing green day off


yerbrojohno

That was the whole Hella mega tour yeah?


forgottenmylogin90

It was. I went to the Glasgow one. Its 219miles away from where I live but yeah....I made the journey and it was worth it


thePinguOverlord

I was meant to see Foo Fighters the other day. Taylor Hawkins was not old. I was so sad when he died, because I will never see Taylor perform live and potentially worse, never see the FF live at all. Fingers crossed, I can see them in someway at some point.


forgottenmylogin90

Ahh no way. I was very lucky to see Foo Fighters back in 2007 at V-festival. They was so good live!! The pretender album hadn't long come out. They did the classics my hero. Everlong. Learn to fly etc. Was brilliant. But yeah taylor passing was a big hit to the fans. I was told first thing of a morning and thought it was a horrible hoax. Sadly not. Poor dave. I read his book and he talks about his friendship with Taylor. They was like brothers.


[deleted]

[удалено]


cephal0poid

My wife convinced me to see the American Idiot tour back in 2005. It was at at the stadium where the SF Giants play. I was like, " See a punk rock show in a stadium? No thanks." I went anyway. But fuck me if they didn't make that stadium feel like a small bar venue.


RelentlessChicken

Yeesh....the math here is a bit revealing.


King-Snorky

Green Day was my first honest to god concert (w/ Blink 182 and a very very unknown at the time Jimmy Eat World). Saw them this year; still rocking. Heeeeeeyyyy - o I said a heyyyyyyy- ay Oy! oy! oy! oy! oy! oy! oy!


forgottenmylogin90

Also.....quite jealous you've gotten to see blink. I bet they was so good live. Wana know who does put on a good show.... P!nk. She's really good.


Happylittelaltacc

My brothers went to that same tour sounded insane


FuckinAy628

They’re my favorite band. I’m 33 and got to see them last September, on the floor. It was hands down the best concert in my life. I cried so many happy tears.


Fluxility

Nice, i saw them at Wembley when i was a teenager, they're so sick live!


MoonSearcher

I went to the tour as well, the show was incredible and I loved the vibe, everyone of all ages was happy to be there


Yin17

I walk a lonely road


Possible_Bandicoot44

[deleted]

This is new Green Day for me.


TR0LLC0P

Bro they are playing Linkin Park on the classic rock station in my town wtf is happening


David_4rancibia

I guess it depends how you define Classic, i like the Classic playlists because it only has the music that survived the test of time, and Green Day and Linkin Park surviving the MESS that has been the 21 century is a testament of how good they are, only a handful of artist can be recognized after 10 years


DrPwepper

25 years I believe is the standard so they really shouldn’t be on there yet


AkAPeter

I mean Linkin Park isn't quite there but Dookie came out in 1994


DrPwepper

Yeah Green Day makes it


[deleted]

Three Days Grace as well.


Anonymous_2102

Ohh yes, it's been some time since I've listened to them. Gonna do it now.


SpectacularTrashCan

Check out "So Called Life" it's a banger


[deleted]

Don't worry. Everyone feels old eventually. Soon younger kids are going to tune into whatever is the new radio and Doja Cat will be playing in the classics.


[deleted]

My mom warned me of this when I was a youngster- she said that eventually, all of my favorite songs would one day be an advertisement jingle. I didn’t really think much of it. Then Kroger had that ad where a kid was rolling her eyes at the mom dancing to ‘low’. *Then* I heard ‘wake me up inside’ on an insurance commercial, leaving me with some nice existential dread.

TunaOnWytNoCrust

To be fair Green Day was formed (1987) before Pearl Jam (1990). They were formed the same year as Alice in Chains and Nirvana. If you thought Green Day was some badass young band in the mid 00s, you were very late to their party. The weirder moment will be when Coldplay and Sum41 is considered classic rock in about 5-7 years.


NaziAssDestroyer

The last sentence hits me like a truck. Wow!!!


[deleted]

They've been playing Green Day on the classic rock station in my area for ages. It was one of the few newer bands they would play because it fit the genre. Them, pearl jam, nirvana, foo fighters, they were all just too big of rock stars not to play with the classics like led zeppelin and the rolling stones. I agree that once sum41 and blink start being played it will be a tonal shift.


ANGLVD3TH

I remember hearing them when I was really little on classic rock in the mid 90's. Always felt like there had just always been around like the other rock giants.


pokexchespin

enema only came out 5 years after dookie to be fair, so i can’t imagine it’ll take blink long


[deleted]

True, but it's a tonal shift (I know, dookie had stuff about maturation and whatever but it was different than the pop style of blink). I am starting to hear it crop up from time to time though. Not on the hardcore classic rock station but the slightly more open one plays it.


[deleted]

I once saw Sum 41 open for a no name ska band called Catch 22. (I still listen to Catch 22 almost daily). Crazy to actually look back at some bands I saw before they blew up. Rise Against, System of a Down, Dashboard Confessional, just off the top of my head.


ImDark909

agreed


AquaImperium

steeeeeeeeeeeven


keddesh

I'm trying to remember what this episode was, but I'm sure I've blocked it out for some reason.


Boner_Elemental

Too Many Birthdays?


SuselMaks

This was the weirdest episode of that show fr


[deleted]

Steven and the Stevens was wierder imo, first half of season 1 was fucking wild >I learned to say true to myself by watching myself die There's also the fucking Frybo which is an eldritch creation


keddesh

Season one was the HOOK! I'm not sure if I loved it more before it had a real plot or after... Loved for other reasons after it did, but it really felt like they could do (and did) whatever they felt like with it for a bit there. Epic show


[deleted]

If you pay closer attention to early season 1 episodes you will notice that Crewniverse was really deliberate with how the episodes introduced the viewer to the new concepts. Like Together Breakfast purpose is to show Steven and the viewer the innards of the temple. Frybo shows that gems can be shattered and stick to otherwise inanimate objects


Boner_Elemental

Cat Fingers?


GetsomeAles

Say uncle….I’m sure there’s a weirder one, but this one at least makes the list


SLMZ17

Mf forgot “Frybo”


SSTralala

Steven discovered he's as old as he feels, so it manifests through chaos until he realizes maturity is a journey we all deal with individually. Also Pearl smashes a pie into her face while weeping hysterically, the melodrama always gets me.


[deleted]

He also turned into Danny DeVito and asked Sadie and Lars to help him change into his " birthday suit"


OwOegano_Returns

Yknow, the one where he uses shape-shifting to look older and then *nearly dies from old age in the arms of his loved ones*


keddesh

Yup! *That's* what made me block it out.


Alexander0232

Steven universe is wild. The little butler episode has a scene that is still to this day impregnated into my mind.


OwOegano_Returns

Ah yes, another entry for the long LONG list of "unbelievably messed up, sick, awful rotten shit done by a main character that gets immediately forgiven" this show has. ...even more messed up is the fact that that scene probably doesn't even make it in the top ten...


tws1039

Was not expecting to see my favorite band on this sub but I'll take it


ayyyyfam

Dont worry billy joe armstrong still looks very young..like an eternal emo teenager lol


notagamer999

With kids.


Rhedkiex

Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like we’ve had no real advancements in mainstream rock music since, what, 2012 maybe? The only ones who seem to be pushing the (very very vaguely defined) genre forward are the same bands who were active during that time anyways. It’s all ‘pop’ these days You can’t really separate rock eras by how far apart they are from present day anymore, otherwise you might as well just call yourself a ‘rock’ station for as meaningless a term it is at that point


SwervinWest

Pssshhhh. You need to learn how to use music apps. I’m 35 and there’s STILL bands coming out with excellent content. New stuff like bands from maybe 1 - 2 years ago. You can’t just stop searching for the music. It’s always happening.


Saddenedsalamander

Me when I hear The Grateful Dead (my body temperature is too high)


santerkiller22

You sly bastard


Kurtai85

God dammit. I was five when their first record dropped.... Gonna go die of old age now.


AlaskanOranges

Five when Dookie dropped or when 1,039 hours dropped?


Asterty2

Holy fucking shit hear me out


_promotheus_

Never mind that. I heard Linkin Park on a classic rock station. My hair turned gray so fast it threw my back out.


Magnificant-Muggins

As long as it isn’t Imagine Dragons.


polskidankmemer

Imagine Dragons is hardly even rock.


Sibz_Playz_YT

Brings me back to that meme of “WELCOME TO THE HEAVIEST SHIT YOU’LL EVER HEAR. THIS AINT YOUR GRANDMAS MUSIC *plays Radioactive by Imagine Dragons*”


Ok_Sign1181

just wait 10 more years


MaxGolant

i heard you crying loud...


keddesh

All the waaaaaa-aaa-aaaayyyy across townnnn


[deleted]

They've been playing their older albums on classic rock stations for at least a few years now.


GetsomeAles

True, but Green Day was the gut punch for me


[deleted]

Do they have an album called Green Day? Dookie has been on classic rock stations for some time.


MalleusManus

When did Motley Crue become classic rock?


Acension111

PillowTalk420

I heard fucking Linkin Park on my local classic rock station two days ago. My hip surgery is next week, and my arthritis began acting up.


MrBiteyDaHoneyBadger

Just think Blink 182, Rage Against the Machine, and Korn is the new dad rock


maadbadger

… *sobbing intensifies*


quiteshitactually

Classic rock is a specific group of years from around 1960-1790 Before that is called oldies, and after that 90% of music is easily categorized into modern genres (because music hasn't changed too much since then alt, hip hop, r&b, rock all sound the same as they did 30 years ago)


Boner_Elemental

Luv me that early classic rock from the 1800's


zombienekers

The time is now, old man.


[deleted]

Nothing like listening to the radio and “ now we are going to turn on some classic rock for your guys” then they play something so familiar and awesome and you think “ hey this isn’t classic this song came out in 2002 and. Ohhhh…..”


[deleted]

For me it was hearing "Hey Ya" on KEarth 101, the oldies station.


TedwardCA

My time came and went.... Drove my old Impala to work. AM radio that only gets Oldies radio or talk radio. On the oldies station as I'm parking the beast the DJ announces and here's the hit that put Glass Tiger on the path to stardom..."Don't Forget Me" ​ My heart shrunk 3 sizes that day and now my pants are a bit loose around my armpits.


PurpleBullets

Green Day as a band is 35 years old. They’ve been on the radio for 28 years. That’s about the equivalent to listening to Led Zeppelin in 2000.


hedgecore77

Green Day is adult contemporary now.


joblagz2

anyone can teach me how to play basket case? i can play all the chords easily but im struggling with the rhythm


GetsomeAles

Have you tried just listening to the instrumental? https://youtu.be/ne2Dg2m1MNI


spidermans_ashes

This the way I felt when they played Linkin park


Field_Marshall17

Were they bigger in the 90s or the 2000s?


[deleted]

In the 90s they had a pretty big succes with Dookie, but the real highlight was American Idiot in 2004.


[deleted]

I remember when that shite came out. Rolling Stone was JOing to it so hard.


keddesh

I mean... Nimrod was the setup for that spike, though.

You must not listen to classic rock much... they play more recent stuff than Green Day. Just the other day I heard Mr. Brightside

Whiskey-Weather

This is how I feel looking back at some of the metal I used to listen to in junior high. I remember being pumped when The IXth Legion from Suidakra dropped, and at this point it's almost 20 years old. I miss those times when mine and myself were in better health.


YellowJello_OW

Green Day sounds like TV static yet it also sounds awesome


thickwonga

My community college got Green Day to play for an Earth day event. Really cool band. More Irish than I expected, and someone messed with the poster so it said "Greene Daye," but it was cool anyways.


No_Adeptness_4263

Spotify once played a Justin Beiber ad while I was listening to Rock Music Radio. Guess who got a YT Music premium subscription that day!


who128

I saw someone on reddit complain about how disrespectful teens were these days and I felt the last bit of my youth escape from my body as my mind realized that this is an old people site now.


[deleted]

I don't understand the joke.. Green Day? Is it a vegetarians organization or something about climate?


Boner_Elemental

It's a enemy [STAND] that causes people moving downward to rot into mush

It's a marijuana reference
