A touching story of two lovers divided into three parts, this release appeared a splendid addition to the Green Day discography. This was one more experiment with the rock-opera format, yet even stronger than American Idiot. A little bit belated, this record hit the stores in the first half of 2009 under the title 21st Century Breakdown. After the tour, the musicians began recording their eighth official album, which they promised to release in 2008. Green Day started a tour to support the album and soon released the live record Bullet In A Bible: Live. Both the disc and its singles - for example, aggressive and sarcastic title track and depressive tune Wake Me Up When September Ends - got many awards and praises. The members of Green Day did not yield to desperation - on the contrary, they decided to record the entire material for the album anew - and they wrote the brilliant rock opera American Idiot that took the band back on the peak of fame. In summer 2003, the performers got down to their new studio attempt Cigarettes & Valentines, but the demo with ready tracks was stolen from the studio building. The next edition Shenanigans featured b-sides from the previous discs by Green Day. In 2000, the artists continued their musical experiments on the album titled Warning, which produced the Minority hit song. Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life) became the brightest track from the album, while witty Nice Guys Finish Last, Hitchin' A Ride and Redundant also gained attention. It combined ska, surf rock, pop music and other styles.

The next disc by punk trio, Nimrod, was issued in 1997 and was full of experiments. After this release, the members of Green Day took a brake citing exhaustion. In autumn 1995, the Insomniac long-play was ready it was lighter and more tuneful than Dookie and was noticed for its pop punk singles Brain Stew/Jaded and Walking Contradiction. This conflict, rather as many hooligan acts by the punk rockers, only added popularity to Green Day. In Woodstock, one of the security guards mistook Mike Dirnt for a fan, which got on the stage, and beat out several of his teeth - millions of people witnessed this incident on TV.
The same year the musicians headed to a tour again, also visiting the Lollapalooza and Woodstock festivals. In 1994, cooperating with Cavallo, Green Day recorded the album Dookie, which produced such melodic and speedy pop punk hits as Longview, Basket Case and When I Come Around. Kerplunk! caught the attention of major labels and soon Green Day singed a deal with Reprise Records, getting Rob Cavallo as their producer. They recorded disc Kerplunk! when the tour ended. The band actively toured along the USA and Europe for about two years. Soon after the first US tour, Al Sobrante left Green Day and former The Lookouts drummer Tre Cool replaced him. Bright gigs formed a big fan base for the band and its debut 1,039-Smoothed Out Slappy Hours became a hit in punk circles of the USA. In 1989, the group (by that moment renamed in Green Day) released their first EP 1,000 Hours. In 1988, the band added to its lineup drummer John Kiffmeyer, known as Al Sobrante. In 1987, school friends Billie Joe Armstrong and Mike Dirnt (real name Michel Ryan Pritchard) decided to organize their own punk command and called it Sweet Children.
