Green Day is an American rock trio formed in 1987. The band has consisted of Billie Joe Armstrong (vocals, guitar), Mike Dirnt (bass guitar, vocals), and Tré Cool (drums, percussion) for the majority of its existence.
Green Day was originally part of the punk rock scene at 924 Gilman Street, Berkeley in East Bay, CA, United States . Its early releases for independent record label Lookout! Records earned them a grassroots fanbase, some of whom felt alienated when the band signed to a major label. Nevertheless, its major label debut Dookie (1994) became a breakout success and eventually sold over 10 million copies in the US. and 15 million worldwide. As a result, Green Day was widely credited, alongside fellow California punk bands The Offspring and Rancid, with reviving mainstream interest in and popularizing punk rock in the United States. Green Day’s three follow-up albums, Insomniac, Nimrod and Warning did not achieve the massive success of Dookie, but they were still successful, reaching double platinum, double platinum, and gold status respectively. Green Day’s 2004 rock opera American Idiot reignited the band’s popularity with a younger generation, selling five million copies in the U.S.The band’s eighth studio album, 21st Century Breakdown, was released on May 15, 2009.
Green Day has sold over 22 million records in the United States.They have won three Grammy Awards; Best Alternative Album for Dookie, Best Rock Album for American Idiot, and Record of the Year for Boulevard of Broken Dreams.

LetsBeSerious, yeah, may be the old pop punk was more punk, and because of this it was better, but I think now Green Day do better music, even if it's kinda different from the roots. I'm old Green Day fan too, but I do accept the changes. And one very important thing for the status of Green Day it's that they are one of the first pop punk bands, and one of the first of this genre who started to clean their sound, if you know what I mean. The main thing it's that this band it's big and goes with the winds, which is good - they aren't stuck in 1997, yeah, the music it's different, but the musicians too - they are 12 years older... you are 12 years older... everything it's different so the music it's different too :).

I did not say that teenagers understand music, but I disagree with his opinion. You are belittling people like you who may not understand the music, which does not mean they are better or worse than you. Here in Brazil oasis fans always attack haters.

Besides, "you're too young to discuss music" isn't what I said. But thanks for twisting my words though.

If you think young teenagers fully understand music, then I don't know what to tell you. It's not a "ridiculous" concept. It's just a matter of exposure, time, and growth.

argument of "you're too young to discuss music" is ridiculous, not all adolescents who are alienated by their bands, and is a very biased view. I never offend a person because hate Green Day :)

American Idiot isn't really that great, that was the beginning of the end. You should have said Nimrod, at least then I can see where you're coming from. And besides, that comment is somewhat out of context. I mean by today's standards, not all of their music combined. Green Day has fallen so far off it's ridiculous. Also, if they are the best of their genre that's not saying much because most of the pop-punk today is terrible. It was great in the 90s but has dropped significantly in quality over the last several years.

I think you have too much Lady GaGa in your head. Mariah Carey it's one of the best singers ever, but Brintey it's just stupid, this goes for this gaga thing too. Green Day are one of the best in their genre, Britney and Mariah too, so I think it's stupid to talk shit for either one of them :). If you think that 21st Century... it's boring or uninspired you have to delete all gaga things of your player and start cleaning your ears with some good music. The album it's very good. It's not better than the Idiot, but it's at least as good as him, and American Idiot it's one very, very good album.

No offense but you're apparently 15 years old and I doubt you're qualified to discuss music on an unbiased level. I don't intend that as an insult, because god knows I wasn't either at that age and wouldn't be for several years. When it comes down to their respective genres, those two just make better music than Green Day. At least in this day and age. Green Day used to be a great band but they're so watered down, uninspired, and boring now.

so a guy called "letsbeserious" say's this: "Uh, as sad as it may seem to some of you, Britney Spears and Mariah Carey are much better musicians than Green Day. I'm sure I'll get flak for saying that but it's the truth. " I laughed so hard xD
