Horrible 12-yr-old boy music. 12-yr-old boys are the worst.

I was so, so unutterably disappointed in Venus Williams when she admitted to liking them. I always thought she was the cooler Williams sister but was totally wrong. Serena hangs out with Brandy and Paris Hilton, Venus...likes Green Day.

Haha I guessed your reaction would be something like this.

However I like to think that without Green Day there would be no Busted. They allowed teenage guitar bands to have a sense of humour!

I kind of hate Busted as well for v similar reasons! I mean they're not as bad as Green Day but there's still something about them which is a bit unhygienic.

Unhygiene is the most important thing in teenage guitar pop! Something you can rebel against your parents with but not too far....

Avril Lavigne at least looks like she showers occasionally!

I think you'll find that was The Damned.

Um I think liking Green Day >>> hanging out with Paris Hilton.

I was a 12 year old boy when Dookie came out and I loved it. Hypothesis proved.
