About this album
American Idiot is the seventh studio album by the American punk rock band Green Day. It was co-produced with longterm collaborator Rob Cavallo and released on September 21, 2004 through Reprise Records.
In mid-2003, the band began recording songs for an album titled Cigarettes and Valentines. However, the master tracks were lost and the band decided to start over rather than re-record Cigarettes and Valentines. They decided to produce a rock opera, inspired by the work of The Who and numerous musicals. It follows the life of “Jesus of Suburbia”, a sort of anti-hero created by Billie Joe Armstrong. Following early recording at Oakland, California’s Studio 880, the band finished the album in Los Angeles.
The album achieved popularity worldwide, charting in 26 countries and reaching number one in nineteen of them, including the United States and the United Kingdom. Since its release, American Idiot has sold over 16 million copies worldwide, including 267,000 in its opening week. The album won numerous awards including a Grammy for Best Rock Album, and was generally well received by critics.
In mid-2003, Green Day convened at Studio 880 in Oakland, California, and recorded about 20 songs for an album titled Cigarettes and Valentines. However, the master tracks went missing. The band, wondering if it should re-record the songs, consulted with producer Rob Cavallo over what to do. Cavallo told the band members to ask themselves if the missing tracks represented their best work.

everything about this album and its circumstances screams punk to me. just because it doesn't sound like the ramones and the sex pistols doesn't mean it's not punk. punk is all about breaking the rules and not giving a fuck what people have to say. i truly do believe that they made this album for themselves. i mean, obviously they wanted it to be successful since they weren't really in a great place at that time in their career, but i don't think they "sold out" or anything. it's just a great album. extremely well-crafted.

And to continue on what you said, if it wasn't for many of those musicians that aren't "real" as you say, Green Day would not be what they are today. The Clash, The Ramones etc.

DavidSmith98 That's the dumbest shit I've ever heard. "being punk" is about far more than just the music home skillet. If you know nothing else (clearly you don't) you should at least know that.

green day aren't punk, cause they're actual musicians, and being punk means having the least amount of skill on your instrument and the most energy..

this album out punked the punks 'cause they didn't give a fuck and created something outside of the conventions and conformity of the punk community.
