I hate Green Day for a few main reasons.
1) They are extremely unoriginal. They sound like almost every other power pop band out there.
2) They are sell outs. Even before American Idiot, they purposely
made music to appeal to the masses rather than music they enjoyed
making.
3) Their music is boring, uninspiring, and most importantly, horrible.
4) They can't write lyrics for thier lives. Seriously.
5) They wear makeup for Christ's sake.
Still, they are still a few steps higher on the sh*t skale than Slipknot and stuff like that.

Eh. They have good songs, but they are just a very generic average band. bluesaga's points are well taken, plus they're snotty and annoying. But eh. Who cares.

You can tell when a band are sellouts when...
They have action figures
That money bag in billie joe's hand is very appropriate though

That would be pretty sweet if they made Prog icon action figures.
Actually, it wouldn't, but I'd still probably buy them all anyway.

I would like to take this oppprtunity to bash Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, and Blink-182. I don't mind Green Day though, I grew up in the 90s so I listened to that stuff all the time back then, back in the good ol' days, when people didn't care and everyone was stupid! I don't like this decade because of all the preps and "close-minded f***s"(sorry to quote Eminem, but it's one of the most perfect lyrics I've ever heard and my life is largely influenced by pop culture, even though I hate most of it). This decade only brings a bunch of good stuff from Porcupine Tree and Our Lady Peace and some others. I'll even go so far as to say that I like the song Jesus of Suburbia by Green Day, that's probably because it's nine minutes long and there's a bunch of good stuff in it and it sounds right 90s-ish and reminds me of when I was younger. Plus some of my friends enjoy it. Also Slipknot is just pure trash. And all those stuid bands clogging airwaves with their pointless remixes and copyrighted material they ripped off completely, and only made a few minor changes.

I used to like Green Day. But that was when I accepted what the
media put in front of me. Now I can clearly see how mediocre they
are.
But now that you brought it up:
Prog > Life > Crap > Green Day > "Gangster" Rap > Power Pop
(basically all Emo and "Punk-pop" which really doesn't make sense since
pop and punk are opposites) > Slipknot, Marilyn Manson, Insane Clown Posse and
stuff like that. 
So I mean, they are nothing special, but unfortunately there are
worse. The sad thing is, a lot of these bands are extremely rich
yet have little talent. Just makes me think.

I agree 100%!
Most of my friends think, that stuff would be good...
I can't understand it.
In my opinion It doesn't have any substance and every song sounds the same way...
The funniest (or oddest) thing is that I have a friend who likes Gentle Giant but also listens to Green Day. 
I really don't like Green Day (same thing with The Offspring or any other "fun-punk", a style invented by MTV).
Some people may think the whole younger generation listens to such stuff like Green Day, but they are wrong.
Me for example, I listen to Gentle Giant, ELP and Yes and I'm born in 1989. 
Though I have to confess that most of the music today has no good quality. 
So to my generation: Let's change it!
