* AlternativeRock: Originally a no-frills pop punk band, they become more musically varied by ''Nimrod'', where they cross into alternative rock (or one of its sub-genres) on many of the songs. ''American Idiot'' is arguably a more alternative rock album than it is pop punk. The same goes for ''21st Century Breakdown''.

** Most notably, ''Insomniac''[='=]s "Brain Stew/Jaded" and ''American Idiot''[='=]s "Holiday/Boulevard of Broken Dreams". The latter two songs in particular are paired into one track for the album's Spotify release.[[note]]Although several other song pairs in the album are merged as well despite not having a clear transition between them, and "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" can still be listened alone through its correspondent single.[[/note]]
*** The latter example takes the trope over to the songs' music videos. The video for "Holiday" has the band rocking out to the song in a car, ending with the car breaking down. The "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" video then shows the band exiting the car and walking the rest of their way, which also cleverly ties into the "walking alone" theme in the lyrics.

Considering the album was purposely written to be experimental (they were tired of their ThreeChordsAndTheTruth structure) and to be a set of standalone songs instead of a cohesive album, the band combined many different genres from hardcore punk to ska to soft rock to regular alternative. For more specification, see ''Nimrod'' under NewSoundAlbum below.

** "Basket Case" is a up-tempo and fun SanitySlippageSong. "Good Riddance", which many people think of as a ballad, is actually a BreakupSong, wishing your lover to leave forever and never come back. and "21 Guns," is a song about peace and the evils of war. And "Revolution Radio" is a surprisingly upbeat rallying call inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement.

** Speaking of which, Green Day also gave PopPunk its reputation for sophomoric humour, and generally being played by and for juvenile delinquents. In the 90s, they were big douchebags and proud of it, exemplified by their infamous mud fight with the audience at ''Woodstock 1994,'' and the VulgarHumor of songs like "The Grouch." (Heck, the protagonist of "Longview" was an apathetic slob that sits around [[ADateWithRosiePalms playing with his junk all day]].) That kind of loutish behaviour was celebrated in the sub-genre, particularly by Sum 41, until Green Day got older and phased it out in the 2000's. Soon after, Music/FallOutBoy and their brethren changed the game by adopting more of a DeadpanSnarker attitude.

* ADateWithRosiePalms:
** The ''Dookie'' HiddenTrack "All by Myself".
** The infamous "Longview" (which talks about apathy in general) isn't even remotely subtle about it, combining a reference to "going blind" ("but it's just a myth") with the explicit "when masturbation's lost its fun, you're fucking lonely".
** "2000 Light Years Away", by some interpretations.
-->''I hold my breath and close my eyes and dream about her''
** A particularly memorable moment in the ''Bullet in a Bible'' performance of "Hitchin' a Ride", where Billie Joe conducts the audience to say different sounds, which then escalates to him straight-up having an orgasm on stage. Then he slips his hand into his pants...
