They had punk roots though. Lookout! was a pretty big deal as far as record labels go. You share a label with acts like Screeching Weasel, The Queers and Operation Ivy (hell, lets even throw in Pansy Division).. they had a following. Those fans got divided once Dookie was released. They had a following to at 924 Gilman Street until 1994.
Can't deny that there is still a punk aesthetic with them. Can't rule Green Day out as a pop band anymore than Blink-182.
