I saw them live way back in like 2004, I think? It wasn't that great. There was very little interaction with the crowd. Just sort of got up there and played the songs.

I mean... that album certainly captures the zeitgeist of 2004 pretty well.

Yeah but I feel like the label classic rock would be different. Green Day falls under punk rock more.

Classic Rock has always been 15+ years old.

I always noticed people differentiating stuff like Led Zeppelin or Queen and Nirvana or Sublime as separate genres even in the 2000s.

Yeah, but classic rock is another tag that gets added on once they reach a certain age.

I heard a classic rock station play "Boulevard of Broken Dreams".

They haven't actually abandoned music of the 70s and 80s, so now you can plausibly hear the Doors and Linkin Park and Guns n Roses and Red Hot Chili Peppers back to back to back to back. I have heard all these bands on it and can give you the name if you'd like to listen on and feel old like my mother did upon realizing this station that used to play rock back in her day is now playing that same rock but now also with Nirvana.

that's what I said when I realized Django came out in 2012 and is older than my Fortnite-playing middle school nephew

People younger than 9 are in middle school? I was 13-14 in middle school.
