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.

😰

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.

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

And 30,000,000 young people* picked up a guitar and said, “I can play that!”

There are going to be so many of these posts this year: Smash, Punk in Drublic, Let's Go, Stranger Than Fiction....

I remember buying this when it was released from a local new and used music store, The Record Exchange, in NC. Nostalgia indeed.

I had no interest in music, until I happened to find a CD on the side of the road. This one, specifically. Traded some stuff to a kid for a CD player to play this. Didn't even skip that much. But now I have to go, because I'm pretty sure I can hear my bones breaking.

Eh?! What's that sonny?

Found media was how we discovered music back then (and porn). The radio certainly didn't play anything good unless you happened to live in a major city. Although this introduction to Green Day I think came to me from Columbia House.

My memorable discoveries:

AC/DC - clear cassette in the park. Only marked with the band name 'DC' as it has rained and washed away most of the handwritten ink.

Marilyn Manson - white cassette labeled Spooky Kids with a sharpie, didn't realize it was early Manson until years later

Tool - CD had just a pig and a fork, everything else was worn off

I was in junior high and this kid came in one day wearing a t-shirt with this album cover on it. Found out a friend of mine had it on CD, so I borrowed it from her and copied it to a cassette. Next time I had money from my paper route, I bought it on CD, along with Kerplunk and 1,039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours. Green Day was a huge part of the soundtrack to my adolescence.

Did Kerplunk not come out before Dookie? In like 91?

[–] Underwaterbob@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes, but Dookie was a bajillion times more successful. They probably sold more copies of Kerplunk after Dookie came out than before.

I see. Guess that's what they meant by "breakout" album.

I feel so old now. Thanks. 🤣
