I was in 4th or 5th grade and my cool friend Alessandra loved American Idiot and I wanted to be cool like her so I asked my dad to buy it for me but he got Dookie instead… I think because it was cheaper at the store LOL. I was upset at first but I grew to love it and it ended up being the first album I owned on vinyl years down the line as well

Man, this era of Green Day rocks. I recently went on a stroll down memory lane, blazing through their early discography. You got the hits on American Idiot and Dookie, the crazy but fun tunes like King For a Day on Nimrod, classic catchy tunes like Warning, and so much more. These albums really defined music for me in middle school, and it’s been so awesome to revisit them.

It was 2010. My friends and I used to swap USBs full of .mp3 files (usually ripped from CDs we had borrowed at the library) and we were all curating these bloated itunes libraries on our parents desktop computers.
I never listened to the radio so this album managed to pass me by. The first time I heard it, it was technically autumn but in every experiential sense it was winter and I was on the bus to school. I had time to listen to it twice. To this day, it’s one of my all time favourites and all my friends make fun of me for it. (I may be embarrassing but I commit 100%!)

Absolute legends. disliking Green Day is middle schooler behavior. Liking Green Day is I guess also middle schooler behavior. Figure that out

It lends a reflective and wistful tone to written communications imo…

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
