Green Day celebrates "Dookie"'s 30th anniversary

It’s 30 years since Green Day released “Dookie.” Cannes Film Festival Palme d’Or winner ‘Anora’, has a new trailer. The Hollywood Minute covers daily news.

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta- Green Day honours Dookie’s 30th anniversary after 30 years in punk rock. The band behind ‘Brain Stew’ worked with the BRAIN art studio to present the album in a unique format.

A new punk rock band’s album, Dookie Demastered, was released in 15 formats on Wednesday, October 9. ‘This is a version of Dookie never planned to be heard,’ Green Day wrote.

Dookie Demastered presents each Dookie song in a retro format, such as animatronic dolls for ‘Chump’ and singing toothbrushes for ‘Pulling Teeth.’ Other songs are released on floppy discs, Game Boy cartridges, answering machines, and phonograph cylinders. Fans can enter a lottery to buy one of 15 retro electronic goods songs.

Britannica describes Green Day as an American rock band that combined punk power with pop melodies and lyrics to capture late 20th- and early 21st-century teenage angst. The band, founded by Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tr Cool, has influenced global music.

Billie Joe Armstrong and Mike Dirnt met in Crockett, California, at school and shared a love of Ramones and Dead Kennedys punk. Sweet Children, later Green Day, was their first band formed in 1987. Their 1989 Lookout Records debut album 39/Smooth helped them gain San Francisco Bay Area fans.

Green Day’s 1994 album Dookie was their breakthrough. This album won a Grammy for Best Alternative Music Performance and sold over 15 million copies worldwide. Later albums like Insomniac and Nimrod were successful, but Dookie was the best.

Green Day’s 2004 album American Idiot was a huge comeback. With sharp political commentary, the album sold over 12 million copies and won a Grammy for Best Rock Album. The 2006 Grammy for Record of the Year went to ‘Boulevard of Broken Dreams‘

A Tony-winning Broadway musical based on American Idiot was released. Green Day has experimented with new music throughout their career, including Grammy-winning 21st Century Breakdown and the energetic punk trilogy Uno!, Dos!, and Tr!

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducted Green Day in 2015, and the US Library of Congress added Dookie to the National Recording Registry in 2024, recognising their cultural, historical, and aesthetic impact on music. Green Day has inspired a new generation with relevant music and lyrics throughout their career.

Thursday marked the 30th anniversary of Green Day’s seminal album Dookie.

The album, which included hits like “Basket Case,” “When I Come Around,” and an updated version of “Welcome to Paradise” from Kerplunk, gave frontman-guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist Mike Dirnt, and drummer Tré Cool a mainstream breakthrough.

Then an indie trio, Green Day played Bay Area punk shows and gained a devoted following before signing a major-label record deal.

“I didn’t know, man. I was so freaked out because we had taken the biggest gamble of our lives,” Armstrong, 51, told PEOPLE of going from indie darlings to a major-label act and recording Dookie. “We knew what record we wanted to make and rehearsed every day before we went into the studio. We wanted to be strong and made a good record. We were thrilled.”
