Green Day reflect on the band's evolution and why they are committed to making protest music

Green Day released their 14th album, "Saviors," which marks a return to their roots of creating protest music.

Bassist Mike Dirnt said after the "Dookie" album was released in 1994, "there was really no looking back" for the band since they were outgrowing the small venues they were performing in. The band's new song "The American Dream is Killing Me" reflects on the stress and anxiety of living in America today. As they embark on their tour this summer with the new "Saviors" album, Green Day is not only celebrating their past achievements with "Dookie" and "American Idiot," but also looking toward the future.
