Green Day is an American punk rock band formed in 1987.The band has
consisted of lead vocalist and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist
and backing vocalist Mike Dirnt, and drummer Tre Cool for the majority
of its existence.
Green Day was originally part of the punk scene at
924 Gilman Street in Berkeley, California. The band's early releases for
independent record label Lookout! Records earned it a grassroots
fanbase. Nevertheless, its major label debut Dookie (1994) became a
breakout success and eventually sold over 10 million copies in the U.S.
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 in 2009.
