Green Day is an American punk rock band formed in 1986. The band consists of lead vocalist and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist and backing vocalist Mike Dirnt, and drummer Tré Cool. Known for their energetic performances and catchy songs, Green Day has become one of the most successful punk bands of all time.
With their breakthrough album "Dookie" in 1994, Green Day gained mainstream popularity and helped revive interest in punk rock. Their music often tackles social issues with a mix of humor and angst, resonating with fans around the world.
Over the years, Green Day has released numerous hit albums including "American Idiot," which won a Grammy Award for Best Rock Album. They continue to evolve their sound while staying true to their punk roots, making them a beloved band among both old and new fans alike.

For its first new set of music since 2000's Warning, Green Day tears up the blueprint and comes up with something unexpected: a punk rock concept album built around elaborate melodies, odd tempo changes, and a collection of songs that freely reference classic rock warhorses like the Beatles and Pink Floyd. "She's a Rebel" and "St. Jimmy" might sound like vintage Green Day, but the rest of the disc finds the Northern California trio trying on a variety of different guises: "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" is a cliché-strewn Foo Fighters-style power ballad; "Extraordinary Girl" floats on Indian strings; and the hushed "Wake Me Up When September Ends" wouldn't sound entirely out of place on a Jessica Simpson record. It doesn't always work. "Dearly Beloved" eerily resembles the Alarm's "68 Guns," while the title track eerily resembles something Green Day has already done far too many times. But, overall, American Idiot represents a promising step forward.
