Do you assholes relize without The Buzzc**ks there would be now Green Day. Oh yeah and Green Day where Pop Punk up until Dookie then they became Pop Rock. They where never Punk or never will be Punk.

I honestly think that he HAS heard of green day, but just wanted to play the media and hype around them.It's hard to not hear of them, especially if you're in the music business.Dishonesty isn't cool.

finally, a person w/ the decency to tell the truth. of course he knew who Green Day are, he just doesn't KNOW them. get the metaphysical difference you morons. If Green Day is punk, Martha Stewart is the new Vivian Westwood.

That dude is so right. They're not punks, maybe in the 1039/SOSH days, but definatly not AI. That album was, no, IS terrible.

he must have heard of greenday...because who hasn't??but it's perfectly reasonable that he says they weren't punk. I think they're pretty "good" (or respectable) on the scale of who's "truly punk" and whos' a "poser" but the truth is...they're music isn't really any more punk than it is simply rock or pop. The clothes they wear don't seem very "punk" to me. They seem more along the lines of hot topic. yes, hot topic isn't really punk. it's owned by gap. it's fake. sorry, but true. "poser" clothes. (that word is dubious though, because we're really all posing) they may have been punks at the beginning (I live near where they started out, and I don't think they could have started there being "posers") but they're become mass marketed. The simple fact that you fans are insulting this guy for "not watching TV and paying attention to the media" shows what audience they've got now--the mainstream audience.and to whoever said they've been round since the beginning of uhh..."punx"...that is so wrong that it makes me wonder what our world has gotten into. Punk took off in the late 70s, when green day were babies if anything. and the roots of punk began in the 60s garage rock. so no, they are NOT original punk.

ah well he can f**k right off and stop acting like he's the most important thing since the beatles because he's f**king not. if he doesn't understand that punk is being true to your own way of living and your own ideals well then he can 'shove it up his arse until it comes out of his big toe', i quote Liam Gallagher.there are no f**king rules, and he's not the f**king punk god are something. ahaha who is he to judge.

That doushbag Diggle (or whoever) must be so effn full of himself if he doesn't think Green Day is punk. If they aren't punk, then what the hell is he?! I agree with that dude who asked where the hell has he been for the last ten years?

thanks stdanger for the compliment but I am a she not a he. :)the buzzc**ks do have a huge influence on early punk but I could never get passed their singers voice. He sounds like he represents the Lollipop Guild.

Steve Diggle needs to get a hold of himself. True, he was part of a very influential Punk Rock group (no-one can deny that), but punk has changed over the years that they have been dormant from music-making.I agree with 'offthedeepend' (And praise him for helping with the new generation of fans - I'm 13 and have been a life-long fan) that Diggle must be lying in hope of 'dampening Green Day's success'.The generation of Buzzc**ks fans is quickly disappearing. Ask any teenager who The Buzzc**ks are and they may have a vague idea. Ask that same kid about Green Day and you're guaranteed a better, more enthusiastic responce.The Buzzc**ks are well and truely past it, and this display of disregard and blatant rudeness to a fan isn't helping their profile right now in the eyes of Green Day fans.

Being probably the most "geriatric" Green Day fan on the planet (33) this guy has got to be outright lying. I know of 50 year old country music fans that have heard of Green Day. How does he know that they aren't punk if he hasn't heard of them? I hated punk (including the Buzzc**ks, they have one good song) until Green Day's Dookie came out. I was more of a Soundgarden/Alice & Chains type. Green Day is about the only punk band I like and I have liked them since 1994. This guy is just trying to get his few minutes of fame. Half of those punks who say they won't go mainstream or sign to a major label because they are selling out are just too scared of the backlash they would get from the punk community. Though they would secretly like to have the balls Green Day had to go mainstream. I saw he can kiss off. Green Day is the best band on the planet and will be around longer and have a more lasting effect on music then The Buzzc**ks ever will. I am raising a new generation of Green Day fans (daughter, 13 & son, 10)so may Green Day be around for years to come.

wow......this guy shouldn't be talking. i bet if you asked 50 people if they knew who Diggle or whoever is, they would have no clue. this guy must not listen to the radio or own a tv. what a loser. green day is the best band ever and this guy is the biggest mofo ever.

This dude obviously doesn't know the meaning of punk rocker, because Green Day is the face of Punk Rock! This guy needs to check his facts. GREEN DAY ROX! They have been through more s**t that that guy knows, so give um credit for what they've done, they have become the Kings of Rock, and they've earned it!

i don't no who this diggle guy is how great of an artist he is. if green day liked him he must be good, but i dont think he had good judgement at all, the way he ridiculed gd w/o even knowing them. maybe he is a good musician, i'm not judging him by that, but if people come up 2 u saying ur their hero, u don't tell them that they aren't punk and humiliate them. hopefully their "hero" was just having a bad moment or something, but he needs ta get his head out his ass and think bout how rude he acted. i'm not just saying this cuz its gd he insulted, but thats not a way 2 treat any of ur fans. thats all i gotta say and i hope those who read this understand wut i have 2 say.

Hahaha, Green Day not pink, you crack me up!!! Who ever this Diggle guy is, he is a total a**hole!!! I mean come on!!! Quote from Billie Joe: "A guy walks up to me and asks 'What's Punk?'. So I kick over a garbage can and say 'That's punk!'. So he kicks over the garbage can and says 'That's Punk?', and I say 'No that's trendy!' So there, they are punk...f*** you Diggle!!!

I have never even herd of that guy and if he is so ignorant not to know Green Day thats pretty pathetic. And how the f**k could he say they aren't punk when he never herd of them? Green Day shouldn't worry about people like that. They know they have way more fans who love them.
