(1991), solidified their place in the Southern California punk scene of the early '90s, but when 1994's "Dookie" was released on a major label and sold more than 8 million copies, the band was accused of selling out.

In the early 2000s, Armstrong collaborated with The Go-Go's andRyan Adamsand released an album, "Money Money 2020" (2003), with The Network, a Green Day side project. In 2008, he released the album "Stop Drop and Roll!!!" with Foxboro Hot Tubs, and it peaked at #21 on the Billboard 200. In 2009, Green Day released their second rock opera, "21st Century Breakdown," and "American Idiot" was adapted into a Broadway musical that won Tonys for Best Scenic Design of a Musical and Best Lighting Design of a Musical. Billie Joe appeared as St. Jimmy in several performances of the musical and was set to reprise his role in a film adaptation, but in 2020, he revealed that the film has been "pretty much scrapped."

With each Green Day album, Armstrong continued to ignore the criticisms of the group's early fans as the band proceeded to strengthen its status within the mainstream, culminating in 2004's "American Idiot," a rock opera that became a surprise international success, a multi-platinum Grammy winner, and a Tony-winning Broadway musical. Green Day has released 13 studio albums, selling more than 75 million records, and in 2015, they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Billie Joe has also appeared in several film and television projects, co-founded a record label (Adeline Records), opened his own guitar shop (Broken Guitars), and launched Oakland Coffee Works with his Green Day bandmates.

Armstrong became interested in music at an early age, and a teacher at Hillcrest Elementary School urged him to record a song, "Look for Love," for local label Fiat Records when he was just 5 years old. Billie Joe met future Green Day bandmateMike Dirntin the Hillcrest Elementary cafeteria when he was 10, and they formed the band Sweet Children five years later. Armstrong attended high school at John Swett High School and Pinole Valley High School, but dropped out the day he turned 18.
