* Retraux: "Poprocks And Coke" from 2001 has such a simplistic, lighthearted sound that a lot of fans who heard International Superhits first assumed it was one of their early recordings. In actual fact, it was newly done for the compilation.

* NeverLiveItDown: As part of the rollout of their 2020 album ''Father Of All Motherfuckers,'' the band's social media shared a photo of a billboard with the oddly-defensive tagline "No Features. No Swedish Songwriters. No Trap Beats. 100% Pure Uncut Rock." Even years later, Gen Z are ''still'' raking them over the coals for sounding like out-of-touch boomers, and it likely contributed to the album's, let's say, polarizing reception.

** The 2024 release of ''Saviors,'' while mostly very well-received, hit a minor snag when some people noticed that the glam-rock stomp of "One Eyed Bastard" had more than a passing resemblance to Music/{{Pink}}'s "So What."

** When you get right down to it, Green Day have been inspiring strong opinions for so long that it's hard to find an album in their catalog that ''doesn't'' invite divisiveness. Even 1996's ''Insomniac'' can count. There's some people filing it under ItsTheSameNowItSucks yet there's a sizable amount of people who like it as much, if not ''better,'' than predecessor ''Dookie.''

* GrowingTheBeard: The consensus answer here is ''Dookie,'' the album that made them superstars, the album where Billie's pop songwriting was honed down to a fine point, and the album that made them for PopPunk what Music/{{Nirvana}} was for {{Grunge}}. That said, it's not hard to find people who believe the album before, ''Kerplunk!'' from 1992, is where the band really became the well-oiled machine they are today. It helps that the latter album is where Tré Cool debuted.

Oh, and an old video of Tré and Billie randomly kissing (while shirtless) in the middle of a set.

** The chorus of "Black Eyeliner," another demo originally created for ''nimrod.'', was later polished and retooled into the song "Church on Sunday," which appears on their following album ''Warning'' in 2000. The melody from the former's verses also makes a much later reappearance in side project Music/TheLongshot 's "Kill Your Friends," released in 2018.

** In recent years, [[AscendedMeme Billie has come to accept and embrace this joke,]] even releasing a teaser trailer on October 1st, 2023, showing the singer waking up, hitting snooze on his alarm, seeing a date circled on his calendar, then dramatically pulling the covers back over himself and going back to sleep. The circled date, October 24th, 2023, would be the release date of then-new single "The American Dream is Killing Me." [[FreezeFrameBonus "Wake me up!" is penciled in on October 1st as well.]]

* SeasonalRot: It's agreed by most of the general public that they lost a certain magic at some point, though there's no real consensus on when. Did they start to run on fumes around the time of the trilogy? Did ''21st Century Breakdown'' start to see diminishing returns? Or maybe you're more into their original pop-punk sound, and fell off when they got into the rock operas like ''Music/AmericanIdiot''? Some would even go back as far as ''Dookie'' as their last great record.
