Coachella 2025: Green Day gives life to the American idiot and punk chaos
Green Day was trained in 1986 in Berkeley and released his album in small groups “Dookie”, in 1994, which sold more than 10 million copies, and obtained a double status of diamond (20 times the platinum) by the commercial group of the registration industry The Recording Industry Association of America.
“Dookie” reached the second row of the Billboard 200 and included three singles n ° 1 on the table of alternative songs of Billboard – “Longview”, “Basket Case” and “When I Come Around”.
The album was included on the four versions of the “The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time” list by Rolling Stone and the first in the 2017 version on its list “The 50 Greatest Pop-Punk Albums”.
“Dookie” was selected for preservation in the register of national registrations of the United States by the Congress Library in 2024 as “culturally, historically or aesthetically significant”.
“Dookie” is widely recognized to popularize and revive consumer interest in punk rock.
He was appointed according to the slang word of a child for a piece of excrement.
“Dookie” also brought Green Day the first of her four Grammy Awards, winning the best alternative musical performance.
The trio received three other nominations in 1995 – the best new artist, losing against Sheryl Crow, the best performance in the hard rock for “Longview” and the best rock performance by a duo or a group with Vocal for “Basket Case”.
Green Day won his next Grammy in 2005 for the best rock album for “American idiot”. What the members of the group called a “Punk Rock Opera” also received nominations for the album of the year, the record of the year, the best rock performance of a duo or a group with vocal vocal and the best music vocal.
“American idiot” was adapted to a Broadway musical, winning the Tony Awards for the best picturesque design of a musical and the best lighting design of a musical in 2010 and to receive a nomination for the best musical, losing against “Memphis”.
Green Day won the Grammy for record of the year in 2006 for “Boulevard of Broken Dreams”, a Ballad de Power Hard Rock Emo of “American Idum” which was named after a painting by Gottfried Helnwein which represents together James Dean, Humphrey Bogart, Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley in a Downtown Diner, title reflecting their dead.
The most recent Grammy by Green Day occurred in 2010 for the best rock album for “21st Century Breakdown”, an opera of rock that the group called a rumination of “the era in which we are wondering and try to give meaning to the selfish manipulation that takes place around us”.
Entertainment Weekly called Green Day, “the most influential group of their generation”, while Rolling Stone said: “Green Day inspired more young groups starting than any act on this side of Kiss”.
