In an interview with Vultures, Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day spoke about pop artists incorporating punk references in their albums. He mentioned not buying or streaming those records but finding them sounding good. He expressed interest in working with Olivia Rodrigo, stating that she has talent.
Armstrong doesn’t seem particularly bothered by the fact that those using punk references may not be well-versed in its history. He mentioned that some people are interested in punk rock without being influenced by or knowing its history as much as he does. Collaborating with someone like Olivia Rodrigo would be fun, according to Armstrong.
On Friday, Green Day’s new album, “Saviors,” will be released.
