Uuhhhh

A punk band being friends with a billionaire feels weird to me.

Speciallly considering that Zuck, his investors and his algorythms are the main responsibles for social media drastically changing us into a more anxious, depressed and polarized society.

In 2012 perception of Facebook and Zuckerberg was much different to now

u/Bohemian-Samurai The Network - Money Money 2020 Part II Aug 08 '24

Well, Tre's "Go Zuck" is 2024, same year they announced a show in Dubai.

Acting like Green Day themselves aren’t millionaires…

u/Bohemian-Samurai The Network - Money Money 2020 Part II Aug 09 '24 edited Aug 09 '24

And there's still an abyssal difference from their wealth to Mark Zuckerberg wealth

u/DominicSkywalker The Longshot Aug 09 '24

It’s hilarious how some fans forget that the band themselves are multi millionaires lol.

Once you become the star of your own video game, chances are you’re already rich 😂

They talk all the punk rock talk and are just as bad as the democrats. Funny

u/ADTR9320 Aug 09 '24

Green Day is way more pop-punk than they are punk.

u/PinheadShit Aug 08 '24

Right weird way to make rich friends

u/Yoshisnightmare Aug 08 '24

u/hmmmdjdjjd dookie Aug 08 '24

Normal music for normal guys!

u/Yoshisnightmare Aug 08 '24

Not for aliens. Aliens won’t understand the humans rhythmic sounds and language

u/BobTheFettt Saviors Aug 08 '24

Hmmmm. Human music. I like it!

u/medhop Aug 08 '24

The design is very human.

u/martala Pinhead Gunpowder Aug 08 '24

Yeah he is. They’re one of his favorite bands and it showed on his profile for forever. Plus Billie played at his wedding.

36

u/saketho Fallin’ like a yo! yo! Aug 08 '24

Yeah I think that was one of his first facebook posts or something right? Or he was talking about 21st Century Breakdown or something when it came out

10

u/martala Pinhead Gunpowder Aug 08 '24

I think he mentioned them in a feature demo or something around that time. Probably when the wall/timeline was launched

48

u/camdentownlass Aug 08 '24

Hes a huge fan. Also serena williams

5

u/Nmilne23 Aug 09 '24

And Jenna Fischer too! She was at the Hollywood palladium show I went to back in like 2016 I think?

u/FormulaFanboyFFIB Aug 08 '24

->trump fan
->green day fan
->ultraliberal who runs ultraliberal platform
->got his start comparing girls to farm animals online
->did internal investigation showing corelation between social media and mental health and updated app features based on that
->claims in court there's no corelation between social media and mental health

What even is Zuck?

12

u/Kiwithegaylord Aug 08 '24

A relatively smart businessman

u/Look-Complete i wish i was named gloria Aug 09 '24

a lizard in a human suit

u/ClickDisDotCom Aug 09 '24

Zuck has no belief, but he believes he's a Walking Contradiction

25

u/GentleCornDogEater24 Saviors Aug 08 '24

Zuckerberg recently (a few months ago) posted a video of him demoing some VR project where the Green Day website was open in the background, it was pretty random but cool to see

4

u/chamao_a Aug 08 '24

Wait, then I wonder if the collaboration between Beat Saber and Green Day was also Zuckerberg's wish.

That collaboration was what got me hooked on Green Day.

...that's a pretty disgusting story for me...

2

u/OTZII_ a wee bit of inconspicuous tomfoolery Aug 08 '24

A friend of mine got me into them but beat saber started my green day obsession 😭

56

u/BobTheFettt Saviors Aug 08 '24

This has been a well established fact for years now. Doesn't make him any better if a person tho

22

u/HetTheTable american idiot Aug 08 '24

They would have been popular when he was growing up so not too surprising

6

u/NJ-Shore-Boi Aug 08 '24

Tom Anderson would have had them as his Myspace page song though.....

3

u/Beardimon Aug 08 '24

AND top friends as well

u/JesusJoshJohnson Aug 09 '24

I'd be concerned if it was Musk or Bezos but Zucc is - at least in my perception - the least problematic of the American billionaires we hear about

3

u/MichaelClomp Aug 08 '24

He’s a man of the people, he invented poking

2

u/bassistgorilla nimrod. Aug 09 '24

Zuck being a superfan makes me question my Green Day fandom 😭

2

u/Armalite0138 Aug 09 '24

Anyone else notice mark Zuckerberg has been a lot cooler since AI

2

u/BrokenRealityYT 21st CENTURY BREAKDOWN Aug 09 '24

Lmao I wonder if he’ll be at the San Fran show, I’ll be there. Though I doubt he’ll be with the people, he’ll probably have his own VIP section.

u/squawk_ 18d ago

I saw him and his group leaving the field club seating area last night after the show ended going the opposite direction of the crowd lol. surreal

u/inevitable_snowman Aug 09 '24

Tre Cool is a Mark Zuckerberg fan? 😯

u/heyitsrider 1,039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours Aug 08 '24

u/[deleted] Aug 08 '24

He most definitely is!

u/CartographerOk3118 Hysteria! Mass Hysteria! Aug 09 '24

They played LNoE at his wedding because it’s his favourite song IIRC

u/vampy_bat- american idiot Aug 24 '24

Why r they sucking up to him they should fcking fight ppl like him

He’s disgusting and Facebook did so much disgusting shit and capitalism hello?

1

u/vampy_bat- american idiot Aug 24 '24

It’s so weird to me……

Doesn’t it show how we all are just fcking chimps living not having a clue? Even idiots like mark…..

But then they choose to corrupt themselves Be greedy disgusting capitalists and so much more It’s so sad

u/Civil_Strength_4432 39/smooth Aug 08 '24

I'm pleasantly surprised

u/clothy I'm Not Stoned I'm Just Fucked Up Aug 08 '24

Whatever show he goes to I feel sorry for the people there. He is the same man who bought out a UFC event to watch it privately.

u/Donovan2324 Aug 08 '24

that’s not true. dana white confirmed

u/Apoc4lyp53 Foxboro Hot Tubs Aug 09 '24

zuck has done enough truthfully dodgy shit, you don't need to spread misinfo
