Though the albums Insomniac (1995), Nimrod (1997) and Warning (2000) did not match the success of Dookie, they were still successful, with the first two reaching double platinum status, while the last achieved gold. Green Day's seventh album, a rock opera called American Idiot (2004), found popularity with a younger generation, selling six million copies in the U.S. Their next album, 21st Century Breakdown, was released in 2009 and achieved the band's best chart performance. It was followed by a trilogy of albums, ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, and ¡Tré!, released in September, November, and December 2012, respectively. The trilogy did not perform as well as expected commercially, in comparison to their previous albums, largely due to a lack of promotion and Armstrong entering rehab. Their twelfth studio album, Revolution Radio, was released in October 2016 and became their third to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. The band's thirteenth studio album, Father of All Motherfuckers, was released on February 7, 2020, and was their final album released by Reprise. On October 24, 2023, the band announced that their fourteenth studio album, 'Saviors', will come out January 19, 2024.
In 2010, a stage adaptation of American Idiot debuted on Broadway. The musical was nominated for three Tony Awards: Best Musical, Best Scenic Design and Best Lighting Design, winning the latter two. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2015, their first year of eligibility. Members of the band have collaborated on the side projects Pinhead Gunpowder, The Network, Foxboro Hot Tubs, The Longshot and The Coverups. They have also worked on solo careers.
Green Day has sold roughly 90 million records worldwide, them one of the world's best-selling artists. The group has been nominated for 20 Grammy awards and has won five of them with Best Alternative Album for Dookie, Best Rock Album for American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown, Record of the Year for "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" and Best Musical Show Album for American Idiot: The Original Broadway Cast Recording.
Youngblood
Green Day Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She's my little youngblood
Youngblood
Punch-drunken youngblood
She's a loner, not a stoner
Bleeding heart and the soul of Miss Teresa
Supernova, Cherry Cola
I'm a rough boy 'round the edges
Getting drunk, and fallen in the hedges
She's my weakness, fucking genius
Swear to god and I'm not even superstitious
(Youngblood)
She's my little youngblood
(Youngblood)
Punch-drunken youngblood
I want to hold you like a gun
We'll shoot the moon into the sun
Alright, alright
Are you stranded, like I'm stranded?
Do you want to watch the world fall to pieces?
Are you broken, like I'm broken?
Are you restless she said: "fuck you, I'm from Oakland!"
(Youngblood)
She's my little youngblood
(Youngblood)
Punch-drunken youngblood
In the song "Youngblood" by Green Day, the singer talks about a girl who is younger than him, but he is attracted to her because of her unique qualities. He describes her as a loner, someone with a bleeding heart, and someone who is a supernova. He seems to be mesmerized by her individuality and spirit even though he believes he is rough around the edges.
The chorus, "She's my little youngblood, punch-drunken youngblood" suggests that she is vulnerable, but also that he is protective of her. He then speaks of wanting to hold her like a gun and shooting the moon into the sun, which can be seen as a metaphor for their desire to be together, overcoming anything that may come their way.
The song ends with the two characters exchanging dialogue, where the girl challenges the singer by asking if he is stranded or broken. He confirms that he is and she responds with, "fuck you, I'm from Oakland," showing that she is fearless and strong.
Overall, "Youngblood" is a song about two individuals who are very different from each other, but are drawn to each other due to their unique qualities and vulnerabilities. The song speaks to how two people can come together and be stronger as a team, overcoming any obstacle that comes their way.
