    Green Day is rock opera because of American Idiot. A rock opera is generally an album that tells a story. American Idiot tells the story of a man called "Jesus of Suburbia" who decides to leave his city.

    Why the fuck is Green Day tagged as Rock Opera? Theyre that commercial pop punk shit. Real Rock/Metal Opera artists are Ayreon, Savatage, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Meat Loaf, King Diamond, Avantasia, Pink Floyd, The Who, etc.
