I LOVE THEM!!!!!!
Green Day was originally part of the punk rock scene at 924 Gilman Street in Berkeley, California. Their early releases for independent label Lookout! Records earned them a grassroots fanbase, some of whom felt alienated when the band signed to a major label. Nevertheless, their major label debut Dookie became a breakout success in 1994 and eventually sold 20 million copies worldwide. As a result, Green Day was widely credited, along with fellow California punk bands The Offspring and Rancid, with reviving mainstream interest in and popularizing punk rock in the United States.[1][2] Green Day's immediate follow-up albums didn't achieve the massive success of Dookie, but they were still successful. Their 2004 "punk rock opera" American Idiot reignited the band's popularity, selling 15 million copies worldwide.[3]

The band is okay. I like some of their songs.
I see their social / political / environmental concerns and causes as being theirs and not mine. I don't let musicians and actors tell me what to care about. I don't think that celebrities are any smarter than anyone else, so I don't champion a cause because I like someone's singing or acting.
Example:
I love Brad Pitt's acting and Angelina Jolie's acting. However, I don't care at all about the people starving elsewhere in the world, since I'm having a hard enough time feeding myself. If I had the millions of dollars that they had, then I would pursue my own charitable endeavors.

They're okay.
As far as what they stand for, I personally don't like political messages in my music, and it does get annoying that their biggest songs have political messages that I don't agree with. But overall, I just don't think they're that good of a band, that's ultimately why I don't listen to them much.

Commercial sellout of the punk sound, a bunch of oldtimers selling out to ensure a rich retirement. They don't stand for anything, a total fake.

Green day is very goth/punk. But the band name green day means "happy money day"

They are punk orginially and now they have catchy tunes that question the government like punk first did in the late 70's. Nothing new just reworked.
