Hey guys,

I watch ARTV and today saw the most recent video Jon (John) made. This was a video listing four reasons people might hate Green Day, who happen to be his favorite band. I agreed the four reasons he gave were bogus reasons for hating a band, but there is one reason why I personally don't like Green Day, and why others don't, and I feel it's a very legitimate reason that was not mentioned:

Green Day have been accused of plagiarism...a lot, 16 times I've seen.

If you Google "Green Day plagarism" the first thing that comes up is a list of 13 songs that Green Day have seemingly ripped off, and the person who made that list included three other notable accusations on Green Day for a total of 16. For me, that's 16 accusations too many, or 15 at least. Everyone it seems is accused of plagarism once, and it's usually an accident, but those other 15 times...

I find this to be a very legitimate reason to dislike Green Day, it is why I've distanced myself from them.
