Kerplunk (esp Christie Road) and Dookie embody boring summer days so well

And when I say “summer days spent doing nothing” I don’t mean lounging around in the sun and having a good time. I mean sitting around the house, doing nothing, doomscrolling and letting your brain turn to mush for hours on end. Going outside to maybe try and enjoy yourself alone, just to find that the pavement is hot enough to cook an egg on and it’s just not worth it. Basically just sliding farther down into apathy, addiction, and chronic boredom.

But yeah I feel that songs like Christie Road (HEAVY on Christie Road), Longview, Sassafras Roots, Brain Stew, and Welcome to Paradise (sorta?) are very relatable on this front. Honestly many songs from 1,039/SOSH - Dookie embody this feeling

Actually Green Day is very relatable as a whole. Especially 1039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours
