I think Green Day is kind of like The Giver. It's a great book for kids, or for people who don't spend time reading. But if you actually care about reading, it's just a kid's book. Made for kids. It would be a waste to spend much time on it as adults, but it has its place.
I'm not against recommending Green Day, and I definitely think that there are some people who would appreciate them more than Screeching Weasel. It's perfectly acceptable to like any band, but after being exposed to better works, it's simply put into perspective. You don't instantly start disliking something because of that, but it's common.
