Green Day

Green Day stands as one of modern rock's most successful bands, catapulting punk rock back into the mainstream in the 1990s. Hailing from California, this Grammy-winning trio is known for energetic performances, catchy, anthemic songs, and evolving sound across decades of influential music.

Active continuously since 1987 and still a major force today (May 4, 2025), Green Day has navigated multiple peaks in their career, including the breakthrough years of 1994 and 1995, and a massive resurgence in 2004. Their musical journey started with raw punk rock and pop-punk, expanding significantly to embrace alternative rock, hard rock dynamics, and ambitious concept albums with emo-associated themes. Key singles driving their phenomenal success were often released around dates like January 31 and November 29. Their high-octane hits frequently make perfect workout songs or energetic cruisin' classics.

The band's impact is cemented by generation-defining anthems that blend angst with infectious hooks. Iconic tracks like the frantic energy of "Basket Case," the slacker charm of "When I Come Around," and the stadium-sized melancholy of "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" captured the zeitgeist for millions. These songs showcase Green Day's mastery of combining punk attitude with polished songwriting and arena-rock ambition. They tackle themes of anxiety, rebellion, and social observation, solidifying Green Day's legacy as enduringly relevant and influential global rock superstars.
