Green Day son una banda de Rock formada en California en 1987.[1]​ La banda esta compuesta por Billie Joe Armstrong (vocalista, guitarra), Mike Dirnt (bajista, voces) y Tré Cool (baterista). Green Day originalmente tocaba punk rock y se presentaban en el 924 Gilman Street en Berkeley, California. Muy temprano abrieron su discográfica independiente Lookout! Records.[2]​ 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.[3]​ 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.[4][5]​ 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.[6]​ 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.[7]​ The band's eighth studio album, 21st Century Breakdown, fue lanzado el 15 de mayo de 2009.
