4.3/5

Green Day is an American rock band formed in the East Bay of California in 1987 by lead vocalist and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, together with bassist and backing vocalist Mike Dirnt. For most of the band's career, they have been a power trio with drummer Tré Cool, who replaced John Kiffmeyer in 1990 before the recording of the band's second studio album, Kerplunk (1991). Touring guitarist Jason White became a full-time member in 2012, but returned to his touring role in 2016. Before taking its current name in 1989, Green Day was called Sweet Children, and they were part of the late 1980s/early 1990s Bay Area punk scene that emerged from the 924 Gilman Street club in Berkeley, California. The band's early releases were with the independent record label Lookout! Records. In 1994, their major-label debut Dookie, released through Reprise Records, became a breakout success and eventually shipped over 10 million copies in the U.S. Alongside fellow California punk bands Bad Religion, the Offspring, Rancid, NOFX, Pennywise and Social Distortion, Green Day is credited with popularizing mainstream interest in punk rock in the U.S.

The soundtrack of my youth.

As a child of the 80s, teen of the 90s, this is the awesome music I grew up on and still listen to and love today. I’ll eventually include everything from my love of Cyndi Lauper, Madonna and Boy George starting by the time I started school in the early 80s up through my neverending love of Buck Cherry and The All-American Rejects (especially Tyson Ritter and Josh Todd😉) starting as (sort of) young adult just before and just after (respectively) the millennium.
