A totally amazing band who have now got me into The Who, The Kinks and The Clash.
American Idiot is a fucking good album, that has got them more recognition; therefore its an achievement. And all their albums rock ass! Ooh, and just cos your a teenager, doesnt mean your a teenybopper.
Me: "Green Day rock, I must get more albums..."
My cool friends: "Ooh I know! The new one totally rules!"
Me: "AND, Billie is gorge..."

An awesome punk band from the Bay area who have been around for over 20 years (not 6, teenies). In my opinion, American Idiot and 21st CB are both punk masterpieces (even though for admitting this I will be immediately hated by biased "hard-core" punk fans), but even better are their older albums (eg 39/Smooth, Kerplunk, Dookie, Insomniac, Nimrod, Warning). Basically, they are hated on by many people because REAL people like them. Their best work was in the late 80's/all through the 90's but I'm not going to diss their most recent albums (unlike many Green Day 'fans') because those are both excellent too. The lyrics in all their songs are either beautiful or hilarious, and all of them can be related to. Not that this has anything to do with it, but they're all gorgeous too.
'Hardcore' 1: Green Day are sellouts man! Loads of people like them, so they must suck!
Normal Person: Bollocks. Go smoke some weed.
'Hardcore' 1: Kk.

Band whose failure to improve musically is offset by success via riding the waves of fads (previously via ripping off other bands, currently via piggybacking atop the politics by misled, idiotic trustifarians.

Green Day are an american rock band that were formed in 1987. Alot of people think they are a new band but in truth they have been around since they were about 15. They currently have 8 studio albums and other live and video CDs.
People that hate Green Day people they've changed are even worse than the people that like Green Day because they've changed!
Stupid 12 yr old fan girl: O.M.G green day are the best they're albums american idiot and 21st century breakdown are the best albums in the world
Me: i like dookie and nirmod too ^^
Stupid 12 yr old fan girl: whats dookie? who are you talking about??
Me: go fuck yourself

A band formed in the late 1980s by lead singer/guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist Mike Dirnt, and drummer John Kiffmeyer. After their first album, Kiffmeyer left, and drummer Tre Cool joined, cementing the lineup.
The band first became famouse in the early-mid 90s due to their independant albums 39/Smooth and Kerplunk. The success was improved upon with 1994's Dookie and 1995's Insomniac. Subsequent albums Nimrod and Warning were less successful, though they yielded popular songs such as Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) and Minority
Though their popularity began to sag, the band came back with the multiplatinum 2004 'Punk Rock Opera' American Idiot, which detailed the story of the Jesus of Suburbia, St. Jimmy, and Whatsername as they navigate the waters of Bush-Era America. The album was both critically and commercially successful, and spawned a profitable world tour.
The band's next release came in 2009, 21st Century Breakdown. Similar to American Idiot in concept, the album varied in style and was praised for its diversity. Like the previous album, it's a 'Punk Rock Opera', following two 20somethings, Christian and Gloria.
Music Elitists that don't actually know what they're talking about like to use Green Day as an example of a band that is a sellout because they signed to a major label. Obviously someone doesn't remember The Clash in 1977.
Guy 1: Hey man, I got Green Day tickets, want to come?
Guy 2: Screw that man, Green Day sucks, they're not punk.
Guy 1: Elaborate.
Guy 2: Well man, y'know, girls think Billie Joe is cute, and like, they sold out, and...and they did an acoustic song and they just suck.
Guy 1: You're an idiot. Hey dude, Green Day tickets, up for it?
Guy 3: Hell yeah!
