No no no, that's not it. See, the other genres of music he doesn't like? C leaves alone. But Green Day...Green Day are trying to pass themselves off as punk and they AREN'T, and that is what gets to him. Therefore people who listen to these money-grabbing tryhards are just as deluded as the band themselves. It's all about the punk thing, not about the respecting genres thing. C doesn't think his personal taste is the right way to think (most of the time), but he thinks Green Day are posers, and bad ones at that.

Yup. Might as well be hanged for a sheep as a lamb! ^^

LMAO! Mal would ask C if he is like the Ambassador or poster child for punk music. Is he the love-child of Sid and Nancy? Agreed that Green Day is more like 1980s New Wave than true Punk, but who cares? Mal likes what he likes and apparently he's not alone. What skin is it off of C's nose?

Ummm...word. :b

I think he'd like to be the lovechild of Sid & Nancy. Saying 'but who cares' to C about whether Green Day are punk or not is sort of like kicking a bull in the bollocks. And it's not about the fanbase, it's about musical integrity.

It's an idiom. Means you might as well be caught doing something really bad rather than something just a bit bad if the overall outcome is going to be the same.

Ahhh...musical integrity. Well, I get what you are saying, but for Mal, it's like this...it's all fine being so involved in the music and everything, but let's use 'cars' for an example: Some people need to know everything about the car, all the parts, how it's put together...and then some people just want to drive...Mal just wants to listen to the music. He doesn't care about the politics or the integrity...it's music.

LMAO...Antha, hon! I knew it was an idiom and what it meant. I was just being silly! <3
