Green day had a great career before the american idiot album but this was a career changing album, out went the ripped clothes and blonde hair and in came in black hair and black dress pants and black dress shirts and red ties and black mascara and eye linder. Green day completely changed their look and they got extremely popular for it. The girls who thought they were ugly on the last album now suddenly thought billie joe was sooo cute. Blvd of broken dreams and american idiot were huge radio staples and still are today. I remember every girl I knew at the time said they were big green day fans and they were goth/punk/skater
There was also that song about waking up billie joe when september ends that is now a fad every oct 1st, The turn towards the black lead a lot of girls to go for that look and suddenly it became cool to have jet black hair. The whole time I wondered what was happening with this band and why so many people hated dookie. Just as quickly as the new look green day became popular, the fun ran out and it stopped being cool to like green day and the were a footnote in 2005
