Hollywood, CA – May 1st, 2025 aka “The Day Green Day Officially Became Immortal (On the Sidewalk)”

Guess who just got their very own sparkly square on the world’s fanciest sidewalk? No, not a Real Housewife — it’s Green Day, the punk legends who made eyeliner cool for straight guys and taught us all that it’s OK to be angsty in your mom’s basement.

Yes, Billie Joe Armstrong, Tre Cool (real name or high-level wizard name? We’ll never know), and Mike Dirnt were officially inducted into sidewalk royalty on the Hollywood Walk of Fame — right next to where tourists take photos with Spiderman impersonators and that one guy who always smells like hot dogs.

But hold your eyeliner — it gets better. None other than Ryan Reynolds (yes, the walking six-pack with Wi-Fi, aka Deadpool himself) took the mic and got weirdly poetic about our favorite rock trio. “These guys live at the intersection of nostalgia and evolution,” he said, probably while smelling like expensive Canadian soap. “You don’t stay together this long without integrity.”

Translation: “Green Day is the punk rock version of your grandparents’ 50-year marriage, but with more guitars and less bingo.”

In case you missed it (and shame on you if you did), Green Day’s 1997 banger “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)” is featured in Deadpool & Wolverine. So yeah — the song that every millennial graduated to is now the anthem of a mutant bromance. Legendary.

Back on stage, Billie Joe Armstrong summed up the surreal moment the only way a punk rock icon could: “It’s kind of like being at your own funeral.” Honestly? Mood. He then added, “This is for my mom. This is like my mom’s Super Bowl right now.”

So just to be clear: this is a funeral, a Super Bowl, and a punk rock lifetime achievement unlocked — all in one. Multitasking!

Also in the crowd: the ultimate hype man Flavor Flav, who likely yelled “YEAHHH BOYYEEE” in perfect timing. Plus, Green Day’s ride-or-die wives — Adrienne Armstrong (Billie Joe’s queen), Sara Rose Lipert (married to Tre Cool and his drumsticks), and Brittney Cade (Mike Dirnt’s partner in punk) — all cheered on the dudes who brought suburban rebellion to the masses.

So to sum up: Ryan Reynolds cried a little (inside), Flavor Flav vibed, moms everywhere rejoiced, and the sidewalk now has a little more punk on it.

Green Day: officially in the pavement. America: officially cooler.
