What is your favorite GD era aesthetically? (This includes album covers, press material, posters, tours, outfits, etc)

[Reverend Strychnine Twitch]

Dookie era. 

[yxngjames]

21stCB or Trilogy def

[The Grohl]

Definitely American Idiot for me. Everything about the aesthetics and the look of the era is perfect. The red and black. The hand grenade. The red ties. The eyeliner!!!

The eyelinerrrrr

American Idiot, but I have a bias for everything pertaining to that era, so 🤷‍♀️

21CBD was also a good one. And Saviors? It's like a more cheerful version of AI, switching the red for pink and tuning down the eyeliner

I mean, the pink look of Saviors has been amazing

We need more pink in punk

[Insomniac1984]

Nimrod and Warning are my favorites. Unfortunately, I wasn't a fan in Nimrod era. On the other hand, Warning was my first era as a Green Day fan. Love the art, covers (including singles/Eps), artbooks, gigs (I mean, all the stuff I could watch from videos), etc. In 2002 I started to watch all the interviews/TV Appearances I could from 1997 to 2002 (I'm from Chile, and I started to learn English to become a teacher since that year). I loved to watch Muchmusic Interactive in 2000 or San Francisco show recorded for Mtv in Nimrod era.

After those eras, 21stCB was so cool, amazing tour with killer setlist every gig (My first GD show was in 2010 in Chile and it blew my mind), many live/singles releases (although the singles were not good choices, except 21 guns and 21stCB) and Saviors has been a cool era, too.

The 21st Century Breakdown World Tour had quite possibly the greatest set list of any tour I’ve ever seen

[billy1986]

Insomniac they didn’t care about dressing up just went out there raw and unfiltered. Natural sound and look. 

[mikedirntseviltwin]

It gave us moments like Billie's incredible monologue in Chicago

Or was that the Nimrod tour? I could be wrong

2. Kerplunk/Dookie

3. Nimrod

nimrod era for sure. i just love everything about the era

[21guns&novacaine]

Definitely 21st Century Breakdown. The use of graffiti to portray the characters and story was very cool.

I also loved the graffiti aesthetic, it really went well with the era

[Drink Coffee And Destroy]

For me it'll always be from Dookie to nimrod. Most of it to me is just three dudes rolling up to gigs in whatever they wore the previous day thrashing away on beat up instruments, which I found relatable when I was getting into the band. Nimrod they started to do more of the stage bits, but it still carried the feel I described. Certainly lends itself since they would roll up in mechanics' shirts at that time.

[FromTheHollowLies]

21CB I was a a freshman in highschool
Saw them for the first time when they played Cigarettes and Valentines in Phoenix AZ

Then American Idiot, RevRad just because I got to intern at Jingletown then

Lowest are FOAM and Trilogy 
Trilogy does have great songs (I LOVE Lazy bones)  but aesthetically it just didn't do it for me

[Little Boy Named Booze]

Honestly my answer is weird but RevRad was the best for me. I was a huge fan, I've never peaked this much since. The front row show, the SONGS were amazing. I don't know man I really think that's when I enjoyed them the most.

[devilskind92]

In my opinion, their aesthetics really hit their stride starting with American Idiot. Everything before that (aside from maybe the Warning music video) just doesn't do it for me visually.

That said, my favorite has to be 21st Century Breakdown. Though I'm not the biggest fan of Billie's huge hairdo during that time, everything else is top-notch when it comes to the aesthetics. The Trilogy is a close second.
