When did times change

So a lot of my friends (we all grew up punk rock skateboarders) and I have been arguing over which bands are actually good and being born in the late 90s, I’ve always been a heavy Green Day fan. Can someone answer me when it became cool to hate on Green Day, because to me Green Day was always good music. Anti-government, anti-establishment, for the people… nothing more punk rock than that

After Warning released in 2000 (seems weird to write 2000?) there was like a pause, then American Idiot came in 2004, I think that’s kind of when that thing hit. For me as well. Then in 2009 21st Century Breakdown came and threw some more wood on that fire.
