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.

Look, they've obviously sold out. Don't become so attached to a band that you can't see that. You don't start having longer hair, wearing tight jeans and makeup (and bashing Bush) when everyone else is doing it unless your intention is selling out. That being said, their music has simultaneously matured and regressed; the music is often more complex, but the lyrics are usually more teen-friendly than they've been (*sometimes* they are a progression).

This whole "punk" debate is boring. I hate labels most of the time. Whether people like it or not, Green Day do have a punk influence in their music. They're an utterly awesome band, I wouldn't class them as a "punk band" as I think they're above that. They also have a classic rock influence, particularly on the last 2 records.

All you negative people need to seriously fuck off. Nice voice of opinion, but jeez, get over yourselves. I've loved this goddamn band since 1994, so I've basically grown up with this band and if all you people can do is bullshit, then fine, you obviously don't have lives of your own.
