American rock band formed in 1986 in the East Bay area of California. Core members: Billie Joe Armstrong (vocals, guitar), Mike Dirnt (bass), Tré Cool (drums). Known for blending punk energy with melodic hooks.

DeBaser reviews frequently discuss the band's 1990s breakthrough (Dookie), the later politically charged rock-opera American Idiot, producer collaborations (reviews often mention Rob Cavallo), and mixed reception to their post-2000 experiments and the Uno!/Dos!/Tré! trilogy.

DeBaser's reviews trace Green Day's career from early punk (Dookie, Kerplunk) through the ambitious rock-opera American Idiot to later, more contested experiments. Reviewers praise songwriting and key classics while often criticizing over-polished production and uneven later releases. Political themes and changes in production recur across reviews.

For:fans of punk/pop-punk, music listeners exploring Green Day's discography, and readers of album criticism
