Dookie
by Green Day
I wonder if there was a sound like this before them. Now their style has been a major influence in the genre of pop punk. I think that sense comes from the general Californianess in the music. Bright is the best word for it. The general punk sounds from the UK blended with the carefree of Cali. The ending of Chump shows some interesting artistry that hints at why they lasted, it shows there is more talent than just some kids making noise. Longview, that's almost a signature bassline and the sound most people kind of when they think of GreenDay.
