The Rise Of Green Day

The Rise of Green Day

Green Day are the administrators of punk/rock, described as the saviours of the genre. There music contains all the up-tempo bratty beats that makes punk formidable in the music phenomenon. Since there days of underground publicity they have risen to floor and now have become true masters of rattling euphony.

Fronted by musical wizard Billie Joe Armstrong, they have pushed boundaries in there homeland and overseas. There American Idiot contribution revitalised there true force in music, after there Warning album received mediocre acclaim. As a band who where declining, American Idiot became the stepping stone up to true greatness leaving there competitors wheeling behind.

As Champions of rock, the band have been described as mainstream sell outs and they have lost a substantial amount of there faithful because of there introduction into airwave rock. Green Day have never surrendered to disdain or repetitive views, they have elevated through it, there music may have alliterated over the years but there true will and character has never been overpowered.

The Berkley trio’s grasp on punk has moved them in to superior stages of music. The band has evolved into a true force, a product of a new generation. Punk has changed dramatically over the years, creating a tension and controversial edge, but Green Day are classed differently now as American Idiot opened a new found glory.


A political wave sprayed through America after the countries most darkened plight, and that unearthed Green Day’s fresh aspirations. American Idiot was audacious, controversial and a heavily mastered piece of musical genius.

American Idiot is the commencing track on the concept catalogue. A bashful opening that sets a scene. A song with creatively soft centre that holds a strong message and it was also the first song from California’s prized assets in 4 years. Green Day are a band that takes time with there music, and American Idiot proved that.

American Idiot is fluent and imaginative, a more direct and involving musical circle. Since Dookie and Nimrod, Green Day fell from the musical platform, and never really recovered just left scarred and unworthy. Warning was a new path, a very different trail for the band. A swollen desire to become noticed and acclaimed for there work, Warning never really evolved into that status or statement.

A package of Green Day’s most notable a groundbreaking musical scores would be released in an album called ‘International Superhits’ a suspicious induced downfall for the band. It could have been the premature conclusion for an act that reinvented punks rattling pace and diversity.

Green Day are an institution of punk, certified masters of punk’s true grace. After American Idiot’s touchdown and groundbreaking achievements, Green Day have taped together there inclusion back into punks elite. Now they can’t fall back into mediocrities hands, but rise against that derailing subject, and do what they do best, creating music of true intent.
