But 20-year olds like it too. Wait, you're also 20 now! Weren't you 19 yesterday or something? 
If so:

You listen to Dookie (1994) and then compare it to American Idiot (2004), you get the impression that Billy Joe Armstrong really hadn't found his voice yet. In Dookie he's a whiny kid, by American Idiot he's an Old Testament Prophet.
Bias confession: American Idiot is my #2 album of all time. Dookie will probably not make my top 100. Sure, there's a couple of good songs on it. "When I Come Around", "Basket Case," these are pretty good tunes. Oh, but Green Day got soooo much better.

This. That said, the Green Day part I liked the best then was the American Idiot part. I've listened to Dookie once and it wasn't very good, whereas i like American Idiot. Dookie definitely deserves another chance, though I'm not really in a hurry.

when it came out, Dookie was my life for a good year. But I can't help but feel like I've completely outgrown Green Day.
Still, i have to say, this is the best Green Day album.

Really? I thought it was much more recently I saw you were 19. We're in September now!
Damn, time flies!

It's pretty embarrassing that people are wishing me a happy birthday on a Green Day thread. I missed BrandonMeow's anyway so I don't deserve it
