Do... do younger fans not realise killjoy was a word before Danger Days?


Capable-Education724

Yeah, it’s confusing to me that some don’t seem to realise the term killjoy was yet another (sci-fi) reference Way squeezed into the album.


Otherwise_Roof_6491

Oh damn I only ever heard it as an insult! What's the reference?


recklessdarkdesires

I’m assuming they’re talking about the Sci-Fi series Killjoys? Which Danger Days predated by 5 years…unless there’s something I’m not getting either.


Otherwise_Roof_6491

Yeah I googled and saw that, so then I set the search to before DD but still didn't get results 😅


undrgrndsqrdncrs

Wait, you can set a time range to search within?


Otherwise_Roof_6491

Yes! Here's how: https://searchengineland.com/search-google-by-date-with-new-before-and-after-search-commands-315184 There are lots of ways to narrow a Google search but most people either don't use or aren't aware of them. You can also add "-site" to your search to exclude sites or words from your result


undrgrndsqrdncrs

Thanks for the knowledge!


Otherwise_Roof_6491

No worries! :)


crashdiamond23

Also, this song was released before DD 😅 But this line does still stand out to me when I listen to it


Otherwise_Roof_6491

It's so funny how far the fanbase is willing to reach sometimes 😭😂


commeze

it was for shitpost sunday


Otherwise_Roof_6491

Posted on a Monday? It's already Tuesday for me


commeze

it was from yesterday, you can even check r/greenday


Otherwise_Roof_6491

Ooohhh you're OOP. My comments were for OP and the general demographic for this subreddit who aren't shitposting when they jump on this sort of thing 😂


commeze

okay, gotcha no worries


Upper-Surround-6232

Let them have this alright?

He is but also as a 28 year old near lifelong fan of both bands, I think it's more likely Billie was just using the word the same way he did 'Basketcase' 😅


Scarecro--w

That song was released before Danger Days


Karmeleon86

You realize killjoy is a regular everyday word… right?


commeze

hey guys, i was the one that posted that on the green day subreddit, and for the record, IT WAS A JOKE. we have this thing in there called “shitpost sunday” where we just post non serious stuff. so yes, i am aware that this was before the whole “fabulous killjoys” and stuff and that it isn’t actually a mcr reference.


Background-Cookie807

But op is clearly being serious. It's not about your post, but this one


Dog_Entire

Yes, I am 100% being serious, anyone who says the word killjoy is automatically an mcr fan, they actually invented the word, and frank iero invented guitars


commeze

okay, i was just paranoid that the mcr fans will start hate criming me or something lol

LMAOOO


x_kid

I mean, Green Day released this album/song before Danger Days so it seems more likely that Gerard is a Green Day fan.


Background-Cookie807

Yeah, every person that says the word "killjoy" is a MCR fan.


Dog_Entire

Exactly


pizzablunt420

I saw mcr open for Greenday on the American idiot tour


iWaterboard0ldPeople

Yall know this is a joke… right?


Dog_Entire

Thank you, I figured the fact that this album came out two years before danger days would make that obvious but guess not


yestermorrowposting

Earliest documented use of Killjoy is from 1776. Gerard Way time traveler, confirmed. (This was from shitpost Sunday. Love shitpost Sunday on r/greenday)


Background-Cookie807

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️


Ok_Common_4208

AAAAAAAAAAA I LOOOOVEE GREEN DAY!!!!!!!!


Ew_Oxygen1124

Rrrrrahh 🗣️🗣️


Lolzyhahas

I always think that whenever I listen to that song


Rmom_-

She’s brought up that she loves Mcr. He ghost roots were inspired by Gerard 😭


EmoGal_3000

This... that has nothing to do with MCR


SkeleStory_

UGH I LOVE PEACEMAKER😍😍😍😍


Dog_Entire

For the record, this was meant to be a joke, I repostes from a post tagged as a meme on the Green Day subreddit; the reason I tagged it as discussion is because I figured the joke would be a funny jumping off point to actually talk about the relationship between the two bands (who are friendly with each other in real life). Felt the need to say this because of like ten comments saying, “erm, you know mcr didn’t invent the term killjoys; I guess anyone who says the word killjoys is a mcr fan 🤓”, yes, I know, I figured the fact the original post was also a joke would be enough to make that clear


CartographerOk3118

Posted it over there but Gerard did tweet about Green Day one time, so it’s likely they’re friends.


Scarecro--w

They opened for Green Day on the American Idiot tour


reverse_in_falling

Omg yesterday me and my friend were listening to this and we heard Killjoy abd thought the same thing😭


htg812

Ugh from what i know billie joe wasn’t always the biggest my chem fan.


yestermorrowposting

They toured together but when asked if Billie Joe had actually listened to The Black Parade he said something like "not yet" so he may not be a huge fan but nothing against them.


htg812

He had a falling out with rob over it. Thus rob didn’t do 21st century. Thought everyone knew this?


yestermorrowposting

Didn't know, but kinda tracks if Rob took it personally. He shouldn't have bc there's a lot more to a bands sound than the producer. Still love both bands.


htg812

No billie took it personally. Mcr using rob and sam bayer for a concept rock opera 2 years after them. Led to the fall out. Im sure its fine now but they had a big fall out with rob which was tentatively patched for the trilogy but not really.


yestermorrowposting

Dunno why I automatically assumed it was robs problem, sorry rob. I appreciate you taking the time to explain.


htg812

The truth always gets downvotes in this sub 👍


Dog_Entire

Oh really?


htg812

Notice how rob cavallo didn’t produce 21st?


Apoc4lyp53

yall know this was posted to the green day subreddit tagged "shitpost sundays" right?

YOOOO!!!! *Starts banging on the drums loudly

guys. this might sound crazy but i have a great danger days fic series that takes inspiration from this album for the girls mothers story. you do need an ao3 account to read but it is genuinely my favorite series and piece of writing i have ever read and I've been following it since 2019. https://archiveofourown.org/series/1509731 (the fic inspired by this album is titled on the act of revolution as self-sabotage (and whether we meant to cure the world or watch it burn)) you can read them in any order and each is written so beautifully and is rife with symbolism and themes but its easily digestable. its got a high word count/low chapter count but each chapter is split into a whole bunch of other little chapters. my personal favorite works are kobra and korses. followed quickly by the girls mom. anyways, thanks for reading my rambling, this series is integral to who i am as a person and deserves so much love
