Well yes, but what Green Day is, is Power Pop. There's no mistaking it.

I find discussions about how to label Japanese noise like Merzbow quite 
fun, because the question is raised whether it's music at all, and if it 
isn't, is that necessarily a bad thing? Maybe the age of music is 
ending.

I don't think JP ever played Merzbow, but apparently Masonna featured in 
a live broadcast he did, and they're about the most extreme music I've 
ever heard. I wonder what he made of them?
