Dookie: Pop-Punk

An episode Matt has been eyeing up since the beginning, full of music he can remember listening to as long as he has listened to music. Listen to Matt and Tim giggle like children at Dookie and then more seriously consider its legacy, one Green Day still has a tough time living down. Dookie’s brilliant, fun Pop-Punk set the stage for a generation of bands speaking the concerns and troubles of adolescence one raucous sing-a-long at a time. Matt offers two massive personal favorites in Blink-182’s Enema of the State and Jimmy Eat World’s Bleed American as replacements for Dookie’s outwardly immature and surprisingly perceptive Pop-Punk.
