Album ini terus mendapatkan momentum sepanjang musim panas, dengan single kedua Basket "Kasus menghabiskan" lima minggu pada bagian atas grafik rock Amerika modern. At the end of the summer, the band stole the show at Woodstock '94, which helped the sales of Dookie increase. Pada akhir musim panas, band ini mencuri pertunjukan di Woodstock '94, yang membantu penjualan meningkat Dookie.By the time the fourth single "When I Come Around" began its seven-week stay at number one in the modern rock charts in early 1995, Dookie had sold over five million copies in the US alone; it would eventually top eight million in America, selling over eleven million copies internationally. Pada saat single keempat "Ketika saya Ayo Around" mulai tinggal tujuh minggu nya di nomor satu di tangga lagu rock modern di awal tahun 1995, Dookie telah menjual lebih dari lima juta kopi di Amerika Serikat saja, tetapi akhirnya akan atas delapan juta di Amerika , menjual lebih dari sebelas juta kopi internasional.

Green Day quickly followed Dookie with Insomniac in the fall of 1995; during the summer, they hit number one again on the modern rock charts with "JAR," their contribution to the Angus soundtrack. Green Day Dookie segera diikuti dengan Insomniac pada musim gugur tahun 1995, selama musim panas, mereka memukul nomor satu lagi di tangga lagu rock modern dengan "JAR," kontribusi mereka untuk soundtrack Angus.

Insomniac kinerja yang baik awalnya, memasuki AS grafik di nomor dua, dan menjual lebih dari dua juta kopi pada musim semi tahun 1996, namun tidak satupun single nya - termasuk radio favorit "Brain Stew / letih" - adalah sebagai populer seperti yang berasal dari Dookie. In the spring of 1996, Green Day abruptly cancelled a European tour, claiming exhaustion. Pada musim semi tahun 1996, Green Day tiba-tiba membatalkan tur Eropa, mengklaim kelelahan. Following the cancellation, the band spent the rest of the year resting and writing new material. Setelah pembatalan tersebut, band menghabiskan sisa tahun beristirahat dan menulis materi baru. The end result is what is called by many, the best album of their career, Nimrod. Hasil akhirnya adalah apa yang disebut oleh banyak orang, album terbaik dari karir mereka, Nimrod.

Nimrod disambut baik oleh sebagian besar kritikus dan penggemar. The album sold 80,000 copies in it's first week to land at #10 on the Billboard charts. Album ini terjual 80.000 kopi di minggu pertama itu mendarat di # 10 di chart Billboard. The first single from Nimrod was "Hitchin' A Ride". Single pertama dari Nimrod adalah "Hitchin 'A Ride". The single made it to #5 on the modern rock charts and was in heavy rotation on MuchMusic and MTV. Single ini berhasil sampai ke # 5 pada tangga lagu rock modern dan berada di rotasi berat MuchMusic dan MTV. The next single the band released would not make it to number one (it's highest position was #2), but it is now probably the most well known songs Green Day ever wrote. Single berikutnya dirilis band tidak akan membuatnya menjadi nomor satu (posisi tertinggi itu adalah # 2), tetapi sekarang mungkin yang paling terkenal lagu Green Day pernah menulis. Featuring Billie Joe on accoustic guitar and vocals, "Time Of Your Life" became the song to play in any remotely sad situation. Menampilkan Billie Joe pada gitar akustik dan vokal, "Time Of Your Life" menjadi lagu untuk bermain dalam situasi sedih jarak jauh. The song was even used on the last ever episode of the hit TV show Seinfeld (it was also the most watched finale in the history of TV). Lagu ini bahkan digunakan pada episode terakhir pernah memukul Seinfeld acara TV (itu juga menyaksikan paling akhir dalam sejarah TV).

Along with Seinfeld, the song was also played on ER on two different shows. Seiring dengan Seinfeld, lagu itu juga bermain di ER pada dua acara yang berbeda. Nimrod has sold about two million copies, the lowest sales total out of their three major label albums, but it probably garnered the band more respect than they could have expected with another Dookie or Insomniac. Nimrod telah menjual sekitar dua juta kopi, penjualan total terendah dari tiga album major label, tapi mungkin mengumpulkan lebih band menghormati dari mereka bisa diharapkan dengan lain Dookie atau Insomniac. The band also vastly improved their live show and even one "Best Live Performance" at the Kerrang awards. Band ini juga jauh lebih baik menunjukkan hidup mereka dan bahkan satu "Best Live Performance" di penghargaan Kerrang.

Setelah hampir dua tahun dengan nyaris tanpa menyebutkan dari band, Green Day kembali pada akhir tahun 1999 untuk bermain Neil Young's "Bridge School Benefit Concert", akustik pertama live mereka. Green Day began recording their follow-up to "Nimrod" shortly after, which would eventually become "Warning:". Green Day mulai merekam mereka tindak lanjut "Nimrod" tak lama setelah itu, yang pada akhirnya akan menjadi "Peringatan:". Early in the recording process, the band decided to fire their new producer, Scott Litt, and produce the album themselves, marking the first time since "Kerplunk" that anyone but Rob Cavallo produced the bands recording. Pada awal proses rekaman, band ini memutuskan untuk memecat produser baru mereka, Scott Litt, dan memproduksi album sendiri, menandai pertama kalinya sejak "Kerplunk" bahwa siapapun tapi Rob Cavallo menghasilkan rekaman band. After they finished recording, Green Day decided to do something else they hadn't done before headline the 2000 Vans Warped Tour. Setelah mereka selesai merekam, Green Day memutuskan untuk melakukan sesuatu yang lain mereka tidak dilakukan sebelum judul tahun 2000 Vans Warped Tour. Green Day played an amazing set and brought more fans to the tour than any other year in Warped's history (their Toronto performance alone attracted 7,000 more fans than they had any other year). Green Day memainkan set yang mengagumkan dan membawa lebih banyak penggemar untuk tur daripada tahun lain dalam sejarah Warped (Toronto kinerja mereka sendiri menarik 7.000 penggemar lebih dari yang mereka punya tahun lainnya).

"Warning:" was released in the fall of 2000, and is by far Green Day's most ambitious album to date. "Peringatan:" dirilis pada musim gugur 2000, dan sejauh ini Hari yang paling ambisius album Green-to-date. If its first singles, "Minority" and the album's title track, are any indication, the album could prove to be extremely successful. Jika single pertamanya, "Minoritas" dan Teman-judul lagu album ini, adalah indikasi, album terbukti bisa menjadi sangat sukses. Just four weeks after the release of "Minority", it sat atop Billboard's Modern Rock chart; no other Green Day song has hit the top that fast. Hanya empat minggu setelah peluncuran "Minoritas", itu duduk di atas chart Billboard's Modern Rock, tidak ada lagu lain Green Day telah memukul bagian atas yang cepat.
