this song isn't just a punk anthem, it's a staple of the 90s and a milestone of my entire fucking childhood. this band and this song defined an entire era of my life with their irresistably catchy pop/punk songs and even now, ten years later, they continue to provide the soundtrack to my life. they're as important to me as the ramones were to them. this isn't my favourite green day song but it's arguably their most famous and most anthemic. thanks for being there, guys.

although i was a bit young remember the music in the era just stated by Vash, i agree with everything he has said. This song will remain as one of the most important song in mine, and probably a hell of a lot more people's lives!

Posibly one of my favorite songs ever. I grew up listening to this band, and this song will always stick out in my mind as a favorite of theirs.

this album was a staple of my childhood in the mid-90's, it's nice that it still means a lot to people even now.

A Lonely Chord

I love how Green Day doesnt take themselves seriously, especially in some of these lyrics. They can whine and entrall you, not whine and repel you.
