This is there career, and of course they have to make money to support their families. Why stay stuck in the same mold forever? Look at them not as artists, but as people.

The guys in Green Day have been very, very rich people since they were in their early 20s. Aside from cashing royalty checks they haven't had to do anything to support their families for the past decade and a half. For whatever reason though they choose to continue cranking out the same formulaic corporate rock year after year. That doesn't make them bad people, but it's not music that particularly appeals to me and I find it pretty silly that such a very corporate band would continue on with some kind of fascade of being anti-establishment.

You're right, there
were a lot of absolute crap punk bands that came out of the 90s. Saying Green Day was the best of the bunch is a little like telling someone they're the smartest idiot you've ever met though.
