    What composed the “style of music” that you feel Nirvana made popular that Green Day was imitating? Music with guitars and distortion?

      I think it was all the singing with their mouths and their guitars with strings, what a bunch of biters

      Specific chord structures and rhythms actually. If you knew much about guitar you could see the similarities in their early stuff and Nirvana’s popular songs. Overall the same punk-grunge style basically.

        They both formed the same exact year, though, so I don’t know how one would be copying the other. If you actually know anything about guitar, you would know all modern rock music pretty much copies the Beatles. It’s why the chord structures and rythyms are similar in most popular rock and pop music.

        Try finding a punk rock fan in the 90s who would argue that Green Day are punk. If you did, you’d find them surrounded by a group of other angry punks insisting otherwise.

        They seem to have let off sometime after American Idiot was released, but there were long, heated discussions about this back then.
