Green Day

Green Day is a punk band popular since the nineties. They have been phenomenally successful, with numerous hit singles and bestselling albums. Originally a hardcore punk band, they eventually adopted a more pop-punk style similar to Social Distortion. This was met with criticism, as punk is supposed to be anti-corporate and Green Day had clearly become a phenomenally-popular sellout band. One must look at some of their work, however. They have the album Bullet in a Bible and the popular song American Idiot. Both are very punk in their theme. Album Dookie went diamond. Weird Al Yankovic parodied American Idiot with his song Canadian Idiot. The logo of the Sirius XM satellite radio station Lithium uses a font similar to that of Green Day.
