Why do people think I'm crazy when I call Green Day rock? Please tell me; this might be a stupid question, but I want to know.

I feelthat I have come across this question earlier and also tried to answer it.Anyway I would endeavour to answer it again.
Let me make it clear your question is not stupid. No question is-even a stupid one. The questioner is not stupid enough to raise the quetion if he were aware of its stupidity. So rest assured on this count. On the other hand if I were put it down as a stupid one and/or am unable to answer it properly it would be I who is stupid
Green Day is a band from California, consisting of Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tre Cool. Green Day is widely credited, along with fellow California bands The Offspring and Rancid, with reviving mainstream interest in and popularizing punk rock in the United States during the mid 1990s.[1] Their success has influenced prominent pop punk revival bands like Sum 41, Good Charlotte and blink-182.
The band has sold over 24.2 million albums in the United States, and over 53.1 million records worldwide. Green Day's breakthrough album Dookie has been certified diamond in the United States since its 1994 release, and won the Grammy Award for Alternative Album. Their second best-selling album American Idiot (2004), has been certified quadruple platinum in the U.S., and won the 2005 Grammy Award for "Best Rock Album". Green Day has won three Grammy Awards, and several MTV Video Music Awards and other industry and fan-based awards. They are also second to the Red Hot Chili Peppers for most number-ones on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart with eight (the Red Hot Chili Peppers has nine).
If somebody calls you crazy it may be that you are perhaps not able to do it well. Or, and that is more likely, the audience may not have a musical ear.Inthe former case endeavour to improve. In the latter case pity the poor prosaic sinner.

Green Day isn't really punk anymore.
Punk is usually defined by being underground and not doing the big record deal, mass media, global fame thing.
They were kind of shunned by the punk scene when they "made it". With their first hit album.
So they are alt rock now.
