Green Day is considered one of the most popular pop rock bands that formed in the 90s and catapulted even more in the early 2000s. They emerged at a time where the punk genre was morphing to fresh ears compared to their punk forefathers in the 70s. Green Day has managed to win over fans and bridge the gap between their punk ethos and creating catchy songs for everyone to enjoy. Wake Me Up When September Ends is a song off of their American Idiot album, and you'd be surprised by the tragic story the lyrics were making reference to. Join me today as we dive into the story behind the song, the music video, and the impact it had.
