This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Totally punk, you know what isn't? being an elitist about a music genres, specially punk

Idk if that's elitism. It's more calling a spade a spade. Punk at its core is about recapturing the simplicity and energy of early pre-british invasion rock. That doesn't really lend itself to ballads and concept albums. It's not about denigrating green day so much as finding a definition that fits them better.
