Green Day will always be a huge influence on punk rock culture. Their newest album is “Father Of All…” released in 2020. The band is experimenting with new sounds, but they are still talking about being young and going crazy. Although critics say that Green Day is losing their appeal the band still continues to play because again, they simply don't care what other people think. ​​​​​​​

Green Day has always encouraged people to think for themselves and speak their minds. That is what punk rock is. Punk rock is all about being yourself and not caring what other people think.

In the song “I Was A Teenage Teenager” Armstrong sings about how he was an absolute mess and puberty messed with them. Tre Cool said in an interview with PlayBoy "I was a frustrated, searching, sometimes happy teenager. The three of us were the outsiders, the freaks, not the least bit crazy. And no matter how old you are: this teenage brain never completely regresses." They wanted young people to know that even though you are different that's okay.​​​​​​​
