Green Day

"American Idiot" band

Green Day is an American punk rock band formed in 1987, known for fast-paced guitar-driven songs and politically charged lyrics.

The trio achieved mainstream success in the 1990s with albums like *Dookie* and later *American Idiot*, helping bring punk into the pop mainstream.
