Nope. There’s no way this album is that old. There’s definitely no way that I’m old enough that I remember buying it on the day it came out. Nope. No sir.

It’s not that old, 1994 was only 20 years ago… right?

Want to bake your noodle even more?

30 years and a couple months prior to that, JFK was assassinated.

There’s been 29 Super Bowls since its release.

It released a few days after Super Bowl 28.

Mh, 30 years is about the same time after WW2 that I was born.

This is the album that made 11 year old me care about contemporary music and developed my actual tastte in music, rather than just accepting whatever was on.

While my current taste is a conglomerate of different styles (Where Green Day doesn’t hold much territory, to be honest), learning Basket Case on guitar was an important step for me as a 12 year old.

I saw Green Day in concert around 2013. I’m fortunate to have seen a fair number of big-name acts, back when paper tickets were still a thing - and GD stood out. The clock struck 8:00 pm and Green Day started rocking. The clock struck 11:00 pm and they walked off after their second encore, done for the night. They were so precise. All the while making things look and feel chaotic and just straight up rock’n’roll on stage. It was impressive. Cool. It was an event. One of my most memorable rock concerts for sure
